[t27541]

I think the assumptions made reflect the standpoint of the person who makes the assumption. So, a heterosexual individual would assume that his or her opposite would be heterosexual, while a homosexual individual may assume the opposite. I’ve had lesbian women approach me and assume I was lesbian, which I’m not, but that does not mean they were inconsiderate, does it? I think it would have gotten inconsiderate had they tried to ‘win me over’ and not respect my declaration that I was not sexually interested in my own gender. As yet, that has not happened to me (though it has happened to a female friend of mine who was sexually harassed by a lesbian woman, and that repeatedly). I don’t think the mere assumption of a sexual inclination is inconsiderate or already reveals prejudice.
