For Pride Month, do me a favor

Miss me with anti-acearo discourse. “Cishet aces” aren’t a thing, because aces are by definition not heterosexual.

“But what if they’re cis, aromantic, and heterosexual? See what I did there? I’m clever because I figured out a way to exploit labels created by the queer community!”

No, you’re an asshole who seems to think the queer community should be run by rules lawyers.

The point of the term “cishet” isn’t “cisgender & heterosexual”, it’s cisheteronormativity. Aromanticism is incompatible with cisheteronormativity, and if you think you’re clever for bringing up “well straight men [sic] are taught that it’s good to fuck with no strings attached”? Well, citing toxic masculinity isn’t really helping your case.

It costs you nothing to welcome acearo people who are as alienated by cisheteronormative bullshit as the rest of us are.
