    I don't feel embarrassed but it's a bit disappointing that everyone I met assumes I'm heterosexual by the way I look .

    Not really embarrased but get a bit annoyed when family who don't know go on about me having a wife and such but then I can't really blame them since there clueless about it xD. So no don't really get embarrased I'll either just ignore it or tell them xD.

    More like embarrassing to be treated as a man, for me. I feel old pressures descend on me to behave in certain ways, and I would rather not. Still getting used to it.

    Nope, since I don't have to fear people jumping to the conclusion that I am indeed gay. It's like "phew, they don't suspect a thing!". Not that I have a problem with it, but it avoids a lot of unnecessary for me.

    It irritates me, I suppose. It isn't offensive though.

    Nah, I don't mind. Statistically a random person is more likely to be heterosexual than bisexual, homosexual, pansexual etc... so their suppositions can be more or less understood.

    I don't like being treated like a female for obvious reasons. My physical dysphoria is worse than social dysphoria, but they both suck balls. Heterosexuality's the most common sexuality, so I get why people assume that everyone is straight. I don't mind being treated as straight, but being treated as female sucks.

    Well ... Sometimes I feel a little relieved that people still think I'm straight. Saves me a lot of trouble explaining and also saves me some bullying.
    On the other hand, I feel frustrated and sad because that way people barely understand me and see the real me, my interests, my problems, my crushes. When a family member asks if I like some boy or something I just have to shrug and/or lie, and that's a little sad, because if I do tell the truth, they'll kick me out x_x
    Overall, I'd say it has its good and bad sides. Thankfully, people don't question my sexuality that much.

    No, the reason people don't like being mistaken for gay is because they see being gay is something inherently negative. I do not view being straight that way, so to me, it's nothing negative to be mistaken as straight, although I will correct them in certain circumstances.

    I don't like being seen as straight. But there's really nothing you can do about it unless you carry a big "I'm gay" sign everywhere, or unless you fit the generic stereotypes.

    Only embarrassed for them, because they're missing all the cues. :slight_smile:

    I'm straight and I don't care if someone thinks I'm gay.

    I just ask them if they're gay in return and then ask them to rate me.

    Not really, probably because I dont have any mannerisms that would indicate otherwise. Not that there is a particular look or way of behaving for being bi. I'm just me and people treat me the same as the next person.

    I think often, it's more the presumption your straight than the actual treatment that may upset some (not me mind). For example, no one at my work knows I'm bi (yet) and often assume I am straight. As I am separated from my last wife and I have kids, people assume I'm straight and often ask if I will get a new girlfriend even though I know I'd be happy if my next partner was a girl or boyfriend.

    It doesn'tt upset me though, as it's more ignorance that an attempt to upset me.

    Happy days :slight_smile:

    I honestly do hate being regarded as straight. It offends me. Just because I look straight does not by any means does it mean that I couldn't be gay.
