transkrem: confide–nemini: bi-boomer: angstbotfic: this is called being the “unmarked category.” the folks who are unmarked are default and everyone else is marked. but when you start pointing out to people that they have race, gender, sexuality and their thing is just one among many, they’re marked too and hoo boy they do not like it. Monosexual is another such word. And the social dynamics around it are the same as for the words mentioned above. Same with allosexual. Everyone threw a fit over that. Every time someone says “you don’t need a word for that” to a term like this, this is why. -- source link
