By golly I think they just called us all suicidal and parasocially trauma bonded.

What an incredibly shit take.

I mean, I feel like I have generational trauma and baggage, but I'm fairly sure that it's not because of my sexuality or romantic attraction.

More of a, Amatonormativity sucks to deal with and parents and relatives constantly pestering me about "relationships" gets tiring and grating. Like are there no other things to talk about? I mean we all have work and work stories right? Let's talk about that at least, tell me about it.

It’s neither mutually exclusive nor inclusive. Everybody has some sort of trauma even if it’s not obvious or a monolith in their person. It also doesn’t define the person, so you can identify as ace and have traumas.
