"This lgbtqia+ microlabel discourse doesn't exist outside of online spaces!!!" Um, I don't tend to tell my social circles about my issues with ace/aro and mspec microlabels, mainly because I'd probably get isolated from lgbt+ spaces, which I want to contribute to and be able to find support in. But I do witness the trash thinking that online discourse has fostered so it's not entirely online now, is it?
