Also, I hate the following stereotypes:
The weird, over the top "spechul snowflake"

The drama queen

The housewife

And possibly the most damaging one:
The circuit queen

Physical appearance and sexual performance define you. Your value is based on how you look and what you wear. You are afforded special privileges for your appearance but for only as long as they last. You are expected to balance the physical expectations commonly held over women's heads with the social expectations held over men's heads. Be beautiful AND sexual. Even your income is based on how well you handle what society expects of you, and the better you look, the more likely others are to accept your differences.
I won't pretend that I'm not guilty of it. It's a double standard, really. I hate that I'm expected to be a certain way, but I look down on those that don't or don't care enough to try. It's been sewn into me from day 1. Honestly I'd like to see gay culture represent itself more realistically, but there's no reward for average in the media.
tl;dr its too much work being pretty
