People who asks so many questions about your sexuality????

Turn the tables on them.
When did you lose your virginity?

If answered.

Guy or girl?

Most likely answered guy.

Ever tried a woman?

No? Then how do you know your straight?

 

Some people just can't accept the fact people are very diverse and it's none of their business who you fancy.

I was asked the question multiple times: "Why do you want to be a man?"

First off, I don't want to be a man. I was born in the wrong damn body.

Second of all, I'm already a man.

I take it a little bit easier on people who remark about my gender, but with sexual orientation? There's no excuse. It's pretty rude to question someone's sexuality, and ruder to try to find a reasoning behind it. There is no reasoning. You just... are.

Apologies if my post came off too aggressive. This is a bit of a pet peeve to me.

 

Those that have asked me were usually lgbt and the right kind of "curious" and I don't really mind. Nosy people - the gossips (read - has no life and needs someone else to live through) I either just ignore them or say really sarcastic things. It does get tiring answering the same ?'s over and over.

I like redneck's way of flipping it on them.

 

I usually go with something like: " how did I find out? Well when I found myself masturbating to my cute female French teacher in 6th grade, I kinda figured something might be up."

And as for " how can you know if you've never had sex with .." before I actually had sex I'd always simply go with: " So you didn't know you were straight before you had sex?"
And " How do you know you're straight if you've never had sex with someone of your own sex? You might enjoy it. "

When I'm feeling especially annoyed ( especially when asked how long i've " had this same-sex attraction thing") I'll say something like: " Oh I just bought it on ebay last week, it was a real bargain and even came with a free dose of pride. I just couldn't resist."

 

Oh my god, I hate that!

I remember when I used to tell people I was bisexual, I'd always get 20 Questions. "How do you know?" "Have you ever been with a girl before?" etc etc.

To me, it's such a double standard because no one would ask a straight person all that. If someone says they're straight, it's just taken for granted. But suddenly if they're gay or bisexual, it's like they have to "prove it." It's not enough just to be taken at your word. You have to have had all these experiences, relationships, etc. to back it up. It's ridiculous.

 

There are too many double standards in regards to sexuality. I think the 'proof' that someone is gay is just when they tell you they are. You don't need to over-analyze and question it people.

Most of these things would be offensive if they were said to straight people

 

If you're not too close to the person, you could just mention that you're uncomfortable answering these questions without hurting their feelings. They'll probably apologize immediately and try to change the subject. From then on, just go with the flow.

 

I defenitley think that turning it around is a good way to show how ilittle of thier business and how stupid these questions are.

 

"The same way you know."

 

Why don't we tell these stupid people to fuck off?

Very polite, I have to admit. :roflmao:

 

To be honest, I get sick of the 'you've never tried it so you don't know' response people get. It's actually possible for a person to be gay, experiment with the same sex....and hate it. It could be a number of reasons why such as the person really wasn't their type, the sex was just bad, or they realized they can only enjoy sex in a romantic relationship while casual flings just feel hallow. A gay person could also derive physical pleasure from experimenting with the opposite sex if the person is 'good' in bed, but yet lack an actual attraction to it and mentally don't care for the opposite sex.

Experimenting really proves nothing.
