Spritz,
your #3 hit home for me in a way. People, even family often think because we are queer we will embrace their *ism* for something or other.
That's not a femme exclusive thing but it bugs me when people do it.
It used to happen in the work place, for example, they would seem so shocked when i spoke out against the stupidity, like i was a party pooper. We were all friends so they thought nothing was out of line for me.
i was the only (out) queer so they assumed i was safe and the heavy comments came AFTER i came out to them. Like i was a challenge to the men. Yaknow the "she needs a good man " thing.
Not ok!
