    This is maybe more of a category of stereotypes rather than a specific one, but I’ve realised that people often still make very binary assumptions about gender and sexuality.

    They think that transition is a linear path and that every trans woman wants to get “the surgery” and then the transition will be “complete”. In a lesbian couple one of them needs to “be the man”. Or with sexuality, you’re either attracted to a certain gender or not and there’s no in between.

    We use labels to help with communication, but reality is so much more nuanced and interesting!
