I feel that this terminology was designed in attempt to prove to amatonormativists that far not all aros are 'heartless robots'. In so doing, aros erase themselves by likening their experiences to romance so that they look more like the majority.

 

This looks quite similar to rom aces' proud claims that they can love 'like everyone else'.

tl;dr yeah, in some ways we dig ourselves into a hole by using these words, but not because of the words themselves, but because of the way we use them to conflate our experiences with those of romantics, instead of using them to define something all our own. We can combat unconscious amatonormativity by embracing our experiences instead of trying to make them seem worthy by comparing them to romantic ones.

I think it's a combination of these sorts of points, and also the fact that permanent evolutions to sections of a language take time so if English is going to become less amatonormative it's probably going to take a while.

I can't remember what result I get, but I can remember that the last time I took it I got a completely differnet result because my mental health was bad which I found interesting.

I remember my mum saying that when she takes these tests they always say that her and my dad wouldn't work out as a couple
