Navigating this is new to me, so it's great to read something advocating so fiercely for a while and complete space for aces of all types. Also wild to learn that Langston Hughes and Octavia Butler are mostly assumed to be gay despite avoiding that label and romance in their lives. In a more accepting world perhaps they would identify as ace or aro, but we should resist labeling them to suit our needs.

It’s hard to let the TERF-lite bits go to enjoy some of the behind the scenes bits layer into my own history as an Ani fan. Biological essentialism aside, it’s readable, it moves, but jerkily. A lot of it paints in the missing colors but yeah...it’s a bit too 2.5 wave feminism for recommending.
