And to continue your point, for me the "real" ace is someone who view "eating" as just some meaningless activities.
Not to be rude, but maybe the issue is that instead of trying to determinate who is and isn't "real" ace by yourself and what feels correct to you, you should just listen to people who actually are ace and what they say their experience is like? Alternatively trying to find and read some study or research or something.
I think the issue with this and other similar things, is that people want to have very narrow and specific definition/label for everything, but it just doesn't work that way. Every person experiences love, attraction and their sexuality differently.
I think you miss my point. There are nothing like a correct way to define ace for me, it's just not something correct in linguistic point of view. If ace were "invented", you know that it mean to convey a message so people will not be confuse about this term.
My point here is instead of usinh a term for a specific meaning, why dont you try digging more into what is borderline in those terms, and invent something else more precisely (in term of language). I did mention that there could be a whole spectrum of asexuality and sexuality that we might missed, if you want to use asexuality for everything ace identified find logic to them relatively.
I never use "ace" for labeling people. I said "real ace" which is abreviation for real asexuality as how it were invented linguisticaly. And what insterests me in this whole conversations, is to understand which continuium lying between asexuality and sexuality spectrum. And what it does for our identity construction?
You only see label in language vocabulary, but i see it as a way to think and construct your identity, as long as thinking is also a inner exercise. You don't need this but somebody else might does.
Finally, i just want to say that english isnt my native language, nor my second, so that's why i might seem a nazi vocabulary for you. I'm just trying to understand how this word means for you now after all its history, and how it can be translated and interpretef most precisely.
