aphobia
-being told you’ll one day figure it out
- being told you’re broken
- constantly asked if you love your parents/friends
- forcing you into romantic/sexual environments when you show uncomfortableness
- “you’re too young to know”
- “you’ll like it when you try”
- “are you sure you’re not just ill/sick?”
- “i’m celibate too!!” (this could be very harmful since it is participating in the erasure of ace identities)
- “how can you not fall in love?”
- “i can change you”
- “aro/ace identities are caused by trauma”
-saying someone isn’t ace for being cupio/positive 4 sex/romance
-“You just haven’t met the right person”
-“ace/aro are not queer” -“ace/aro arent discriminated against “
-“ace/aro isn’t LGBTQ+”
-“are you sureeeee you’re asexual?/aromantic?”
- “i think you’re confused”
- being called heartless
