text: I relate to this a lot. It's very similar to the biphobia I experience occasionally in gay and straight communities. Because in a way demisexuals can be "allo-passing" when in a relationship (read: can experience sexual attraction), some full-ace people see that as not truly the same struggle or truly knowing what it's like to be full-ace. It's hard to find community and acceptance in the middle of the spectrum. I'd say for the most part the ace community is pretty inclusive, but this does happen sometimes. I'm so sorry you're experiencing that in the community you tried to find at school :(
