#aroallos

Trigger warning for arophobia:

I had to unfollow someone on Twitter because they were saying arophobic things, specifically using the “aromantic men who sleep with women they don’t fall in love with get to call themselves queer” line.   It’s especially telling that they talk about aromanticism and then show the asexuality colors.  

This is especially hurtful to me because it’s implying both that aroallos, specifically aroheteros, only want sex and romantic love is the only type of love there is, and because it’s using the gender stereotype about men, it erases the existence of someone like me who is both aroallo and a woman.
