Ask a Therapist: 4 Lies that Compulsory Heterosexuality Tells Us
Sometimes I wonder how different my life would have been if it hadn't been ASSUMED I was straight. Even today, people I meet think I am heterosexual. I'm past being offended by it, but it always makes me wonder about what assumptions people are making in regard to me, when they assume I am straight. As a Therapist who usually works with those in the LGBTQIA+ community, I see the impacts of Compulsory Heterosexuality VERY regularly. Thus, this week's episode...what lies have we been told by Comphet, and what happens when we stop believing them? 4 Lies, as I see them, are: 1. That marriage and kids are expected 2. That you can't be friends with a person to whom you might be attracted 3. That sexual attraction is a given 4. That there has to be a masculine and feminine presence #askatherapist #comphet #comulsoryheterosexuality
