I’m almost the same. People think I’m lesbian all the time and bisexual. I’m straight I just present masculine lol. But I have short hair which probably doesn’t help my case

yeah it’s kind of weird how people try to just like assign sexuality and gender identity based on things so arbitrary as dress. my other neurodivergent straight female friends have also said they get called gay/bi/queer also. i dunno maybe people should expand their ideas of what men and women can be
