    So, I'm only out to a few friends but I guess I don't talk about my sexuality much. My appearance is tomboyish but the way I talk is quite feminine, so I guess I don't appear very "lesbian". It's a bit uncomfortable when those friends that I'm out to start talking about men and then including me into the conversation as if I was straight....... (e.g. would you ever date a beautiful guy, or a smart guy etc)

    I don't always feel bothered to correct them so sometimes I just go along with it or I just answer in a really generic way. But does this happen to anyone else and how do you deal with it? I guess I could just keep reminding them every time but I also just don't understand why they do it?
