You arenât embodying any stereotype, these people just donât want to see a real person in the loose aggregation of tropes they use to justify their societally-supported hatred. Even bi women who actually DID think they were lesbians until they realized they were bi arenât doing any damage to anyone else by understanding themselves.
So can we likeâŚstart normalizing the idea that not everyone dates or has their first boyfriend/girlfriend in junior high or high school?
There are plenty of people who go into college with little to no dating experience. There are tons of people who go into college having not had their first kiss yet. Itâs not wrong; everyone experiences things at a different pace, and thatâs okay. Donât feel pressured into doing things youâre not comfortable with at the time just because you feel like you have to fill some sort of âquota.â
You know, for the longest while the accepted wisdom has been that female actorsâ careers tend to fizzle after their mid 20s because of fickle Hollywood beauty standards and institutional ageism hitting women much harder than it does men, but itâs increasingly apparent that picking up a reputation for ânot being a team playerâ because you refused to fuck a sexually predacious director or co-star may be a much bigger factor in that trend.
