You know, because of the way I look, people assume things (incorrectly) about me. They assume these things because my wife does identify as femme. They assume that she MUST have a butch on her arm, and that I must be that person.
They assume things about our relationship, our private life, and well, a lot of stuff.
In additon to that, there are the issues that S deals with (that Jude brought up) about "passing" as straight when she's out alone, and EVEN has heard that because of the way she looks she's not "queer" enough to have her job.
