also ive met lots of lgbt people, the majority being teenagers, and while some of them have talked about being lgbt a lot, not a single one has treated their sexuality or gender as their entire personality. u know why? bc the “gay kid who has no personality outside of being gay” is a strawman caricature
you know that study where like when men were in a room w 50% men and 50% women they perceived it as more women than men? its like that, straight/cis people hear you mention your identity once, or see one gay character, and think its “too much”
