Disclaimer
This term does not imply that allosexuality or asexuality are choices. A common aphobic rhetoric used against asexual communities is "I can make you allo", but that is not possible, as it is not a choice. This is merely a descriptor for trauma survivors and does not extend to acephobic rhetoric.
