The GC--Phobia accounts are becoming more refined with their talking points. They're all controlled by dedicated TRAs of course, with one main agenda no matter their individual specializations; Trans supremacy. But their rhetoric has to accurately mirror the unique grievances of each other identity they pretend to be prioritizing in order to grind away at the GC base of support from as many different directions as possible.

And I do think they do anti-GC more effectively than your average TRA because they pay closer attention to the voices at the fringes of the GC. The ones not as embraced by the movement due to their relative lack of relatability and exploitability, so more likely to feel sidelined and alienated enough to leave (and maybe join the other side). These accounts are opportunistic and will pounce on any especially offhand remarks about these people's identities to add to their own cache of shame receipts to use as persuasion in skirmishes against the GC core.

On the topic of Aces though, I had difficulty for a while wrapping my own head around that orientation, until I thought of them as simply having one less sexual attraction than homosexuals or heterosexuals. And I had long gotten over the conceptual hump of thinking of these each as just having one less attraction than bisexuals. But Idk.. maybe this (over?)simplification just works with me.

If someone was to tell me that they are not sexually attracted to any other human being, I'd probably just say, "Okay," because it really doesn't affect my life in the slightest. I can't really imagine that being true, but then at the same time I can't imagine the experience of a straight guy being sexually attracted to women, because I'm just not sexually attracted to women at all. So I guess in an abstract sense, I can take my lack of sexual attraction to women and imagine what it might be like to feel that way toward both men and women.

What I really can't imagine, is not being sexually attracted to anyone but still enjoying having sex.

I can get the analogy in the OP - what if I, as a gay man, was alone on a deserted island with nothing but women? I still have a sex drive, but I'm not sexually attracted to women, so I'm sort of out of luck. But where the analogy breaks down for me then is the thought of me saying, "Okay, I have no choice but to have sex with a woman if I want to have sex at this point, so I'm just going to do it."

What are the chances that I would actually enjoy that sex with someone I'm not sexually attracted to? Hell, there have been times I've had sex with men that I'm not particularly attracted to, and I didn't enjoy the sex because I wasn't attracted to them.

So I can buy "asexual but still has a sex drive," but I can't imagine enjoying sex at all if I wasn't at least somewhat sexually attracted to the person I'm having sex with.
