Why does my dog only shag female dogs?
When did he know he was a straight dog?
A dog's intelligence and therefore behaviour is in no way comparable to a human's.When did he know he was a straight dog?
Also male dogs regularly hump the crap out of each other. Dolphins and chimpanzees are also guilty of spontaneous homosexuality.

Assuming you are heterosexual, at what point did you realise you were heterosexual?
It's largely when someone starts fancying someone of the opposite sex. But then how do I know I'm not a lesbian trapped in a man's body? Because I like football? But I've been socialised to like girls and football etc.
I'm sure you're just happy the way you are and happy that everyone is just way they are, and not seeking to complicate simple matters of attraction, but the idea that everyone might be a bit confused leads to a massive cynicism over these issues.

And do you have a dog whistle for him?
Going to need the dog whistle to call him back from his fascination with the scarecrow.
Shouting"oh god" when he slips on that slope won't save him either.

This was a great answer to the question asked of me. I don't have an anniversary to celebrate of the day I realised I was gay.
I do have a collection of various memories of events, feelings about others, and so on that at the time I didn't understand or fully appreciate. Indeed I had no way to understand: Section 28 prevented any education that would have helped me understand, and there was no other ways to learn about it in a relatable way. All I knew of it was learned from nasty homophobic insults, slurs and jokes.
This, for me the question is really "when did you embrace/accept your sexuality?" I think that's something that's easier to pinpoint.I do have a collection of various memories of events, feelings about others, and so on that at the time I didn't understand or fully appreciate.

k what anyone else thinks and just get on with it.
As someone who spends so much time trolling and whinging about minorities on the internet and claiming white privilege doesn't exist perhaps you could ponder on why you don't follow the excellent approach of your brother?k what anyone else thinks and just get on with it.
Finally watched Izzard on Joe Rogan, 3 hours, flew by, nice chat.

Another question to CC and the other trans folk in this thread.
How did you know that you felt like a female and not one of the other 70+ genders?
Can I ask when you knew you were a troll and not one of the other 70+ types of internet stereotypes?How did you know that you felt like a female and not one of the other 70+ genders?

The non binary thing annoys me now because of people at work.
There's a trans person, was a man, now a woman. fine, no issue there.
However there's a snowfake who sees themself as gender fluid. Genetically they are female, with a female name, but they see themselves as a guy sometimes. With people who she (i will call her she) speaks to often she has said to call her by her male name, if not she moans and complains to her manager. However everyone else that doesn't really speak to her she is perfectly fine being called by her female name. On many occasions she's referred to herself as her female name. It's really fking annoying because it's almost a double standard, and makes it confusing. I would have no problem calling them by their new name if they told EVERYONE to call them by their new name, but they haven't. and even then, the people who know their new name have called her by her old name and she's not made an issue with it. it seems like she makes an issue about it whenever she feels like.
Another way to look at it; this person trusts you, respects you and likes you enough to invite you to deal with them on a level that is personal. There's a trans person, was a man, now a woman. fine, no issue there.

Is there aspects of your personality you don't normally reveal to strangers?
This person openly has Mx next to their name, and in all emails and correspondence. It's not like they keep it to people they only trust because they've told everyone in their work cell/group to call them by it. Even passively aggresively complaining to their supervisor that they aren't called them by that name. But they pick their moments when they want to whinge about it or not, if they feel like it they'll whinge to their supervisor.
