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

I have to come to the defense of orthonormativity. I know the allure of coming up with your own way of writing stuff, but a shared orthographic frame helps communication, while the opposite comes through as careless dumping of the effort to decode a message onto each and every one of the recipients.
