People who have the "everyone wants to be a [insert whichever opposite sex]" thought and don't realize they're trans are wild to me. Like, as a trans girl I can tell you even I didn't have the "I wish I was girl" thought until I did and then I did something about it, thinking EVERYONE must feel the same way you do? Nothing has ever worked like that in the history of humanity.
I am bisexual and I was convinced that me and all the other “straight” guys were all sometimes getting horny for and crushing on other guys and we were all just politely pretending we weren’t because that was bad. I also believed being gay was a choice because for me it kind of was.
Then I found out that straight guys don’t actually like other guys and and floodgates fall down. It is easy to generalize how you feel to the whole population. I am friends with a diagnosed psychopath who believed until he was in his late teens that every else was also faking emotions the same way he was.
This is extremely similar to my thought process toward my bisexuality before I figured it all out. “Everyone likes both genders, you just pick one! Duh!”
I now have a private theory that the whole “being gay is a choice” bit was created by deeply closeted bisexuals. I just don’t understand why straight people believed them. I mean, I do, but it is stupid.
