No, in a world where gender expression is straightjacketed and violence meets non-conformity it’s very normal for even the normative to be unsure of where they stand, and we should count it as a blessing that any straight person feels the need to stop to give it thought. Please don’t go pressuring people into accepting your assumptions about their orientation, your experiences and feelings are not theirs.

Completely agree. Self reflection, even if it doesn’t lead to different conclusions, is highly beneficial and should be encouraged regardless of perceived gender or sexual orientation. The world would be a bit better if we all had more introspection.
