Society is SO allonormative that a lot of people don't even believe we *exist*. I mean...having to constantly prove and justify and defend the literal fact of your existence and identity should not be a thing, but sadly it is. And the widespread expectation and belief that everyone wants sex, everyone wants a partner, everyone wants marriage (or at least lifelong cohabitation) is so exhausting to deal with, especially when you know that pushing back on it and explaining why is likely to bring mockery or disbelief.

Some people think "allo" is offensive which makes me roll my eyes.
