    I know a few dozen boomers who have told me: “just because you’ve slept with or had a few relationships with women doesn’t make you bi. You married a man, so obviously you’re straight”.

    Yeah… That’s not what those words mean.

            Bone whomever you want, dress however you want, and stop being in every single living thing’s face about pronouns. Stressing particular labels kinda loops back to getting stigmatic ones, doesn’t it?

              Not nearly as much as pretending they don’t exist, which is what the person is doing when they say that marrying a man invalidates former relationships with same sex partners.
