In defense of heteronormativism (heteronormativitude?), it is the norm. People are just writing what they know!

This is one of the things that bugs me about "write what you know" and anger at "cultural appropriation". If you really want more diversity in fiction, telling authors to stick to only their culture and their personal experiences doesn't help much. :(

IMO, this is an intentional double bind, imposed to gain emotional leverage over the victim. Thing is, if you recognize it as such, it loses its power over you.
