This whole “do X (ace, aro, no binary, whatever) belong in the queer community” thing seems needlessly hair splitting. The cisheteronormative cultural baseline says “you will be one of two genders assigned at birth based on the doctor’s opinion of your genitals, and you will grow up to sexually and romantically partner with someone assigned and identifying with the other of those two genders.”

Given that the people enforcing that standard are really damned happy to shit on anyone who doesn’t comply with ANY and EVERY part of that, why is it so hard for the people claiming to want to abolish it to love and embrace ALL those being shat on?
