Imagine you're a baby queer writer in an unsafe household, and you read this article saying that you can't claim to be queer online unless you're prepared to come out to the parents who might hurt you, disown you or both if they knew the truth.

Some ace people have biological children! This doesn't make them less ace, even though the proof that they did The Sex is walking around in the world! Lots of aro people are still in relationships! This doesn't make them allo! EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT THIS IT GETS DUMBER
