Do you ever get angry at how lesbians are stereotyped?

Amen! Why don't they mind their own business? It's as if they've found the answer to problems they perceive, but others don't.

You could ignore them, make light of it, ask them for referrals, or spend less time with those who are so insensitive. That's only a few of the many options you have.

People can say dumb things on a whim, and the effects on you can be a huge deal. I assume due to your not so great self description this is a sore spot with you. So when someone says something to you like that it is a HUGE deal!

To them they might be making conversation. To you it is fighting words. You have to live your life.

I has some pressure too in my life. Often that pressure made me do something I was not ready for. Almost a reaction due to anger.

I think back and if I let it just go in one ear and out the other, I would not have done what I regret. Don't let other people try to steer your life,. You may really regret it.

And then you will blame them, And also be mad at yourself for allowing it. It is like getting hit 3 times for 1 action. Be happy however.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
