~semi-~ Serious question, Idon’t get it. Most of us get why the hegemonic gender system is stupid, why subscribe to the binary role you were assigned? Also, why do straight people exist? Maybe it’s just me but I like to look and feel like my own perception of what is attractive.

This is a misconception. Cis people don't choose their gender, nor do heteros their sexuality. All babies are born genderfluid bisexual. When they start teething, gender and sexuality fairies arrive and make the baby into something else. Babies too fabulous for heterosexuality are made homosexual. If the sexuality fairy doesn't visit a baby, but they just love everyone so much, they can't distingush someone[s] they particularly like to limit their love to, they end up identifying as asexual.

I know the gender fairy visited me, we have pictures and everything, but I not sure about the sexuality fairy. I'm told they arrived, but I've seen evidence they were elsewhere at the time.
