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 think this comment is insensitive. I have three kids and can actually sympathize with the fact it's tons of work. But... I'm also trans, so here's what I think you're missing: if you had wanted to, you could have chosen free time. The couple rubbing their free time in your face - do you know how hard our legal system makes it for them to have children?

Consider that they may see you as rubbing your cishet privilege of simple childbearing (speaking as a parent, is there any more valuable privilege?) in their face.
