[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] :roll: [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You didn’t inherently have crushes on people when you were 11? Having a crush on someone is pretty normal. [b]You thinking that it has to be with the opposite gender is what not normal[/b].  [/quote]

Interesting. Heterosexuality IS the norm. It’s the default. No one said it HAD to be with the opposite sex, but statistically it usually is. [/quote]

What is the norm is not what is normal.

It's normal to be black, but it's not the norm.
It's normal to have red hair, but it's not the norm.

Correct. But when a young person has a crush, it is not wrong to assume they fall within the norm and have a crush on the opposite sex. That’s my point. [/quote]

It is actually wrong to make assumptions about someone [/quote]

Are you that judgmental that you have to make assumptions about every human you look at?[/quote]

Right. Because you never do.  :roll:

Let’s be real. If someone sends you an email signed Beverly Smith, you’re going to assume it’s a woman. You can pretend that you’re so enlightened that you would stop to think it’s a man, but I guarantee you don’t.

This “I’m so much more enlightened and accepting - I never judge!”  schtick you’ve got going on is laughable. [/quote]

But when they correct you and say, “actually, it’s Mr. Smith not Ms.” You correct your assumption and apologize. Or you don’t and you act like a bigot…[/quote]

You’re making up scenarios that don’t exist. This whole thread is about assuming that a crush is on the opposite sex - which is the norm. Where are you getting this whole “acting like a bigot” fantasy from?  Who’s talking about that - besides you?  [/quote]

New PP here. I just assume everyone posting in the LGBTQIA+ board is gay or trans until they come out as straight and cis.[/quote]
