Slang Synonym of aro-ace (“aromantic and asexual”).
- No matter how we talk about our asexuality (or aromanticism), where we fall on the ace/aro spectrum, or how we decide to express our identity, knowing that other people feel the same way we do means a great deal.2018 November 1, Claire Dwyer, “Asexual Awareness Week”, in The Scripps Voice, volume 27, number 3, Scripps College, page 5:
- “I'm ace.” The moment the word leaves his mouth, it's like he'd been holding his breath for an hour and finally let it out. I keep staring at him, and I realize I'm being rude, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to say. “A-ace?” “Technically ace-aro. Asexual. Aromantic.” My lip warbles. “Oh ... I don't know what that means.”2020, Meredith Tate, The Last Confession of Autumn Casterly, New York, NY: G. P. Putnam's Sons, →ISBN, page 262:
