So, I'll start with heteronormativity Is annoying. Like whya re any 2 people of opposite genders evoected to be interested in each other romantically, do cishets not know what friendship is?

To cisnormativity I don't really have that much to say apart from please stop being transphobic

Monogamy normativity also pisses me off to no end. No idea how to write this down but waow, stop having love < s and just do polyamoury in your fiction. The option is right fucking there

The cishets(tm) are strange and confusing, why am I so angry lol

Agreed, though technically there aren't really 'opposite' genders, if there ever were, it's seen as a social construct and centers the binary and that women exist as opposites to men, which isn't quite accurate and something we should try to move beyond.

Yeah, cisnormativity actually plays into that too and yes is also annoying.

Just to help a little here, hope that's okay, it's called Mononormativity, you don't have to spell out the whole word ๐Ÿ™‚. As a relationship anarchist and ethical nonmonogamist I completely agree, see my rant about it here: !relationshipanarchy@slrpnk.net (sadly the client I use is being annoying and not letting me copy the link to the post directly).

Yea. "Opposite' sees a binary.

The way I see it gender is a 0 to 1 and the infinite decimals in between. There is infinite gender between the " binary"

Am likely wrong tho.

Will take a look at the relationship thing
