i don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t have to, like, justify your aspec identity.

you can just say “i’m aromantic/asexual/aplatonic/agender/afamilial/any other aspec identity”. you don’t have to add on the “but i still experience X type of love” or “but i can still have friends” or whatever, especially because there are people who don’t experience any type of attraction. i’m not saying those things can’t be true, i’m saying you don’t have to use them to make your identity seem more appealing in the eyes of allo people.

whatever type of attraction you do or don’t experience does not determine your worth as a human being, and you don’t owe people an explanation.

i might make a proper post or smth later but i gotta say it now

im allo/demi, and all of the sspec (even the ones underrepresented) have taught me many things about loving n caring. kinda ironic but i think you're all cool, aspecs

you don't need any type of attraction to 'redeem' your ace/aro/apl/(other parts of the aspec) self
