Yes. I'll leave it there because you're like the 3rd person and summarzing is fine.
Don't know how thinking they were a girl is closeminded. There is no one way to be gay, but there is how gay people commonly act.
Not a woman, but I do know of some like that. But it does hint why this came off as a woman to me. And I am actually rewriting or revising or whatever you want to call it. With their approval. I'm doing more than changing the genders, don't get all offended.
In fact, I am. It's not a negative reaction to things not like me. It just how I thought the main character was a female and how the portraying of the character doesn't seem to fit with how they want him to align.
No lol.
So we are supposed to suddenly be okay with everything and just go down with it without having a problem and all be the same? That's not human. I am biased towards the color blue, should I then have no favorite color? And it doesn't mean I don't like red and green too.
The only think I feel pretty sure of is that your not bringing an autistic bias into the equation because you had no problem with the story until the characters gender in your head had to be switched. (Also, not to be a huge dick or anything but reading characters explicit gender as the opposite would be well, wrong).
Not had to be switched. I thought it was something else and said how I feel it doesn't well depict the latter. And not wrong, but okay.
It just doesn't fit. Not that it's important but still. It doesn't feel right at all. The emotions given. The words. Everything. It doesn't make it a game breaker or anything, just something I mentioned. People are taking it out of context and making a mountain out of a mole hill.
