Sexuality

In Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality, Hanne Blank says as we grew up, we are taught to behave so that our gender matches up the societal and cultural expectation of what our own biological sex is supposed to be like. Males are expected to be masculine, where as females are expected to be feminine. I think the rigid structures of gender put a lot of pressure on those who are not heterosexual. I believe being open to our own sexuality means being willing to accept whom we really are without worrying about the societal expectations being put on us. This is better for our own goods.
