Does this annoy anyone else or is it just me?

Why must sexuality be assigned to absolutely everyone you know? Why can't I just exist as a person, rather than someone who's straight, or gay, or something else?

Quite honestly - I don't think about a persons sexuality unless

A - I like them and want to get to know them intimately B - It somehow bothers them and they bring it up.

I don't really see it as any of my business whether someone is gay/straight/bi or whatever and I don't really care? But by the same token, I'm happy enough with my sexuality that I don't think that it's a big deal if anyone wants to assume anything about me - That's there business, nothing to do with me.

I also don't think this is much of a debate and should prolly be moved to chitchat or something

I agree with , it's none of my business and I don't care of people opinion (my parents of something else, tho). If someone ask me what's my orientation, I tell them if I feel comfortable enough to do so. Most of the time, I get some "you're just confused" or "it's just a phase" from "adults people" and I usually shrug it off.

Sexuality doesnt come up much. However try asking about asexuality. Again my mother thinks its a phase or I get some lame excuse like "once you try it you want it more." But back to knowing about sexual orientation it doesnt matter only in the bedroom or trying a relationship.

It's a really annoying trend, and it colors a lot of the things we do or say. People assume that a woman talking about her significant other is talking about a man automatically, because they perceive heterosexuality as "normal." It's really irritating because people don't think there are as many gay, pan, bi, ace, etc people as there actually are. It's constantly downsized because heterosexuality is played up in the media and everyday life.

Y'know, never mind.

Heteronormativity bugs me, too. Particularly when people are assuming babies are straight, but a teenager is too young to know their own sexuality? Nah.

Most of my friends and I are nonbinary and have our pronouns posted, so I don't know what person you were talking to who got mad at you for asking their pronouns, or if perhaps you were just being really rude about it or what, because that situation you just described doesn't even make sense to me.

Also gender and sexuality are separate.
