I thought I was just making a goofy joke there by obviously oversimplifying, but that's a very insightful response. Thank you for writing it.

I do suspect that there are a lot of young people who haven't actually had sex before they start labelling themselves and identifying as something just to fit in, too. I would dismiss it as a harmless "what I'm going to be when I grow up" kind of fantasy—if only it didn't come with so many harmful ideas and expectations like the ones you describe.
