Do cis-passing nb people who like the opposite sex perpetuate stereotypes?

0% Normal
27 Comments

I don't believe this to be true but I have known a few queer folk believe that cis-passing nonbinary individuals who are attracted to the opposite sex (sexually and/or romantically) are perpetuating cisheteronormstive stereotypes.

There are also some who seem to believe that relationships between a couple who look vaguely straight is problematic and I think that's ridiculous.
You can't help who you fall in love with and/or want to fuck.

Speaking for myself, I'd say I'm rather fluid when it comes to people I am attracted to but mainly I lean more straight than gay

    You're succeeding if you're trying to hilight how overobsessed the LBGT community has become with rules and different terminologies for every possible specific orientation of sexual attraction. Just be who you are and bang who you want. Problem solved.

    No, I have friends that think the same and I think its a bit ridiculous. Our LGBTQ+ community already has enough issues and I hate that we choose to tear it down sometimes.

    People who assume that passing folk+opposite gender are heteronormative are no different than the people in these comments making fun of the terms we're using imo. Why not just unconditionally accept people and let them love who they love without bias?

      It's not your language comprehension. This person is going out of their way to not speak English.

          Just to be clear. I have no problem with who you are, I just loathe all the ridiculous names.

            If the jargon annoys you, Nikki, I bet you'll love the range of banners that were flying at the latest London Pride Parade:

            I'm boringly straight, but even I would qualify for at least four of them.

            What "ridiculous names" are you talking about, hun?

            What are you pretending to take issue with?

        Get your head out of your ass and do the research. OP is asking whether people who are nonbinary, and who >present< (i.e. seem to be at first glance) as male or female, exhibit 'straight-is-standard' stereotypes if they are indeed, attracted to the opposite sex.

        My answer is yes, but you need to understand the question before you can properly vote.

          I understood the question.

          It screamed "look how fucked up I've made myself, aren't I just the best!!"

            Tell me, Nikki, does one HAVE to be rude and unoriginal to get gold on IIN, or is it just a bonus?

            Because no matter what traits people identify with, stereotypes always follow what people >appear< to be. I’m not saying that I’m glad that the situation you described enforces heteronormativity, or that those involved intend to; but it does, either way, because what people see at first glance is exactly what stereotypes are based off of.

      Do you know the terms transgender or nonbinary? I'm trying to work out how to explain it and knowing these terms in your native language and/or English might be helpful to start off.

      Thank you for asking!

    It is a strange time when being a chick born with a penis is not stereotype-breaking enough

      So why are TERFs so angry about trans women being in women's spaces, and trying to convince trans men that they're really just butch women?

        Lol, but I consider the TERF ideology to be ridiculous so I really can't speak to that.

        When you begin with "so why are TERFs.." You've answered your own question
