I kimd of am, why are so many relationships in media strsight? We need more lgbt representation

This is dumb and I'm probably getting offended for no reason but here's a small experience I dealt with recently

So like 30 minutes ago my grandmother wanted me to smile so she told me to think of a pretty girl and while I didn't react at all my first thought was literally "why not pretty boys" Its silly I know.

I'm not out but I literally couldn't be leaving anymore hints that I'm bi. Its funny how nobody noticed yet

I'm transgender and don't really care, I have a lot more more important problems to be tired of. Most of my friends are on the LGBT spectrum and I don't interact with greater society all that much.

What tends to bother me more is how our world is built for neurotypicals, as someone with autism and CPTSD. That actually has an effect on my life.

Same here... Frankly I kinda just ditched my old life after the _n_th so-so-concerned friend/family member exhorting me to "be kind to yourself". All my friends and partners are queer or trans now -- there are no downsides 🏳️‍⚧️🌈
