Ace-spec and/or aro-spec people: Do you feel alienated and/or erased by common definitions of what "platonic" means?

Platonic is commonly defined as "a close bond which does not involve sex," and also sometimes specifies an absence of romance. Definitions also often imply that sex and romance go hand in hand. Some definitions use words such as "spiritual" to describe the bond. Some definitions stem from cisheteronormativity, using the word especially in reference to "two people of the opposite sex."*
