so, to be clear pronouns have nothing to do with sexuality it’s in relation to gender so kinda weird that ur friend called u homophobic cuz u accidentally assumed someone’s gender,, and tbh it’s not really your fault because the stranger was probably already somewhat aware that they present more masculine (even if they don’t identify as a ...... reply
