Allonormativity

Because aces differ so much, the ideologies of compulsory sexuality, sex normativity, amatonormativity, and even allonormativity will tend to operate differently upon different types of aces.

The sooner campuses acknowledge asexuality as a sexual identity, the sooner they can begin examining and addressing the ways they perpetuate allonormativity.

In such a context, those who identify as asexual, inundated as is common by such norms of what we might refer to as allonormativity, are left, as blogger @theacetheist notes, with only two theses with which to incorrectly regard their existences: “I am not a sexual being, therefore I am not human,” or, alternatively, “I am human, therefore I am a sexual being.”
