Hetrophobia
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, I am here to express my irritation of being labeled a hetrophobe. I know I won't be taken seriously but I'll do it anyways. :] Today I was called a hetrophobe by one of my friends, and this is about the fifty-billionth time I have been called such. I just ask, do you know what a phobia is? A phobia is not just simply a fear, even if it was such hetrophobe would be a mislabel, but phobia in the psychological sense (hetrophobia is, in actuality, a mental disorder) means an irrational fear of something ordinary(which straight people are not, research says that a prevalent reason for people being straight is a hormonal imbalance, prompting the thought that it is not right, and that there actually IS something wrong with it, because there is an IMbalance) that induces uncontrollable panic attacks(that 99.9999999% of people that share my opinion do NOT experience) or anxiety attacks, paralyzing the person with fear and requiring them to vacate the premises, or for the straight person to leave.
Calling me, a person who does not agree with the ideal of being straight, a hetrophobic, would be in error, because I do not suffer from anxiety attacks when confronted with straight people. I am not remotely afraid of them, and neither are most people who think like me. You can say that my...not really dislike, but different attitude toward straight people is born out of my fear of them, but you would be wrong, and you could not even say so without being a psychologist and diagnosing me. So, unless you are referring to someone who has a mental disorder characterized by anxiety attacks caused by straight people, do not label people as hetrophobes because it really, really, irks them.
Flame me if you like, just correcting a common misconception.:p
