Wanting to clear something up here

[abilouise]

I am not a straight woman.  Please don't make the assumption that I am even more into boys than into girls, because you will be wrong.  Anything that may have given you the impression that I am straight is purely situational, and may also be based on my choosing to let you assume things to make my life feel easier and safer.

Sometimes I wish I could get this statement tattooed on my forehead.

We could make t-shirts?

I think that is a great idea for a t-shirt. Or at least a button.

I...whuh...people think you're straight?

[abilouise.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Isn't that stupid?

I think that these days, it's the whole married-to-a-guy thing that gets them.

I suppose if they only met you post-marriage, that would be (to me) a reasonable superficial assumption.

I mean, as I thought through it, I can't remember seeing you date any women, but that doesn't seem all that relevant.

I'm married to your ex-girlfriend... so no, I wouldn't have assumed that.

You seem slightly angry at those people who are assuming something that you say yourself you let them assume. (Or am I miss reading the tone?)
Is it okay to ask what prompted this?

[abilouise.livejournal.com]

Ask me what prompted this in person.

I was wondering the same thing.
