These people are so strange. We live in this big, complex world filled with variation, and they are like: "No! Everything must be only one way!"
Appreciating the spectrum of human experience is GAY
Realizing that emotions aren’t and can never be binary is HOMO STUFF
No, they want only two! They can't handle it if everyone is the same, or if there is a rainbow of ways. To them, it must be two, no more or less! It must be binary!
Edit: This is a very boring grey lenses to view our species. Our closest relatives is bonobos....
The complexity is too cognitively taxing so instead of just accepting that there will be people you don't understand, they want to force everything to a strict mold they can easily comprehend, without needing to confront contradictions inherent to the human condition. Letting go of control and accepting the world is far beyond your capacity to fathom is a scary thing. But what is life but the act of letting go?
