    Yeah. But are we sure they’re actually straight? Or guys?

    I posit that many of these instances are poor, unfortunate queers so completely subsumed by their internalized homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia that they’re in complete denial about the fact that they are not actually cishet men.

      Some may be, but the stereotype of a self-hating closeted person puts the burden of homo/transphobia on the lgbtq community while there’s more than enough straight people managing to do it
