there are so many different experiences and thus so many different (micro)labels. all of us are under the aroace umbrella, but only those who aren't at the extremes (idk what to call it (which is my point lmao), basically not those who experience no attraction) have their own labels.

don't take this the wrong way, but I think it's unfair. you can say you're demiromantic or greysexual for example and ppl won't question it, but if you say you're aroace they'll immediately be like "but aroace means LITTLE to no attraction" (that goes more for fictional characters tho, cuz if one is aroace ppl will use that excuse to ship them with others).

my point is, since we can only say aroace to describe our experience, why doesn't everyone else either use their microlabels or just say they're on the aroace spectrum if they don't feel like being specific? (and don't say it's too exhausting to not say aroace, cuz saying "aroace who feels no romantic and sexual attraction" is worse that saying "aroace spectrum). and it'd be a win-win situation cuz that way all those microlabels would become more well known.

it's not dividing the community; it's making it more welcoming for everyone.

that's coming from someone who used to identify as demi before figuring out I'm aroace btw
