Excuse me, so, I'm on the aro spectrum (and I saw u are too) and I wanted to bring it up to somebody that one of my romantic orientation labels has disappeared from the internet other than the very few people who use the label. INCLUDING official lgbtq+ wikis. The coining posts are gone too. It's really weird and lowkey feels like exclusion. The label is Laesumianromantic (below is a screenshot of the definition that I had copy and pasted from a coining post onto my pronoun page.) I understand not that long ago there was a lot of discourse cause people would make the wrong assumptions (and still do) that aromantic or asexual people must've experienced trauma for them to become aro or ace. Which isn't always true. But to completely erase the part of the community that *is* impacted by trauma is lowkey kinda fucked up.
oh damn? i can see why it would cause discourse but labels are to describe experiences and i don't think it's fair to remove labels because some people think it's "icky" or "problematic"
