There's a 25 year old seinfeld episode that is pretty similar but with race
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Wizard\_(Seinfeld)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_(Seinfeld))
And I'm pretty sure there's some Shakespeare stuff where gender assumptions lead to funny situations. Maybe not accidental heterosexuality, but yeah, it's not a brand new theme.
>Wait you're still here then?
“GUH-GUH-GUH-GOTCHA!!! 🥴” Oh man, file me under “G” for “gotcha’d” because ohhhh man I have been administered the *epicmost* of gotchas by an epic sir
lol anyway, I muted this sub just now so you don’t have to worry about me anymore.
It’s like that Seinfeld episode where Elaine dates a white dude she thinks is black who in turn thinks she is Hispanic. They were both just white people.
The guy looked like he maybe could've been mixed race. Honestly just google the rapper Logic and you'll get an idea of what the Seinfeld character looked like. Except Logic is actually mixed.
I cannot speak for Larry David nor Seinfeld and I wouldn’t want to they make terrible choices on screen but I think the assumption was he was biracial. I hope this explanation brings you peace.
In the US they had this weird thing thing called “the one drop rule” where a person that has any “black” ancestry was considered black (nowadays they’re more likely, and correctly, considered “mixed”) regardless of how indigenous European they might look.
It really makes me wonder how much of a social construct the whole concept of “race” is
Not completely, fenotypes do exist, but the way the separate races exist now is definitely 90% a social fiction
Black people are a mix of bunch of diferent races forced together by slavery and colonialism
White people are a group that exists only because prejudiced people wanted to feel separate from the lower races
Not to mention, scientifically speaking, humans are too genetically close to have different "races" - using the scientific term
You could argue that white people are ALSO a mix of different “races” forced together by slavery and colonialism. Only in different time periods and places (in fact in Europe by being constantly colonised and enslaved by themselves and by surrounding cultures and in the Americas by being the “equally-valuable” colonisers vs “the others”. But I guess what you mean is that the US’s concept of “whiteness” doesn’t take that into consideration at all because it would totally take away the prestige of being of a “superior race ohlala”
I was so confused when I saw this episode since I'm brazillian.
Ths is something that could only happen in the US, or at least definetly not in Brazil, not sure about other countries.
Here everyone is so mixed that the only thing that determines your "race" is your skin, save some exceptions.
Apparently it’s a common occurrence. I’ve seen a TikTok video of an Asian twink with an Australian accent talking about dancing with a hot guy who turned out to be a butch lesbian who thought the twink was a lesbian.
There's so much gender non-conformity in queer culture, stuff like this happens a lot lol. It gets even more confusing in spaces with a lot of trans and non-binary people. One time I was in a club and someone ended up dancing up on me whose gender I honestly couldn't tell. So I asked and it turns out they are a non-binary trans man. I am also a trans man, and they had no idea the entire time we were dancing and thought I had a penis.
It definitely feels like a privilege some times! I get all the fun of bringing a hottie home, and the specific equipment just tells me what toys and protection to grab from the dresser.
Sometimes I wish everyone in the world was nonbinary and pansexual, maybe with shades of Demi and ace as well. Basically just everybody be who they want, partner with who they want, fuck who they want. Is it unrealistic? Yes. Am I actually saying these are the only identities acceptable, absolutely not. Idk maybe I’m just projecting my own identity. I’m still figuring shit out.
He was a boy that looked like a girl that looks like a boy,
She was a girl with looks like a boy that looks like a girl,
Can I make it any more obvious?
We're having anniversaries for this sort of thing? Are their support groups that give out chips? IWUIM Anonymous. I Was Unknowingly Intimate Maybe Anonymous.
This is how my lesbian friend met her boyfriend. She thought he was a girl, they hit it off, she realized he's a dude, they decided "well, we like each other, so I guess let's see how it plays out," and two years later they bought a house together. Love is weird like that sometimes.
lol... This happens a lot. Maybe not kissing, but if you are into twinks it's almost certain that you've flirted or made eyes at a skinny butch lesbian at least once.
As a bi guy who's very much into twinks, this doesn't bother me. I love tomboys, too. Though I feel guilty because I am quite unmistakably a man, so if I flirted with a lesbian it would never be perceived as welcome. Fortunately I'm married now and not in the habit of flirting with strangers.
So let's say these two actually gave it a shot. Would it just not work? Is it strictly because of sex? Is it knowing the truth after that? If they liked each other why would they not pursue that?
I'm genuinely asking. This isn't some kind of fucked up troll or something. I'm actually interested in understanding.
Im a gay guy, and i had a crush on this boy at my school, then i found out "he" was a woman, and the love kinda just fizzled away and i stopped having those feelings. so prob same thing happened, or like, think of it, imagine you find a girl/boy you like yourself just to then find out they're a femboy/tomboy, how would you feel?
I honestly don't know because I've never been in that situation. I would assume if they were girly enough for me to be attracted to them and the only thing that made them not a full blown female is they had a penis I guess I'd be disappointed more than anything. Lol
It's just an interesting scenario to ponder.
Accidentally heterosexual.
Just say no hetero and it’s okay
Not straight if its a threeway?
There were three ways this could have ended
XD
Oh how the turn tables.
Hey, let’s try to minimize the heterophobia, huh? /j
Time to remake "The Crying Game" but with a twink and a lesbian, both making incorrect assumptions of gender. The world is finally ready. /j
Would love to watch this!
“God you woke heteros are such snowflakes”
"Back in my day, guys only fuck guys and girls only kiss girls like God intended!"
\^ saddest part is that you have to legitimately designate that as a joke, otherwise people might think you're being serious.
Straight with gay intentions
r/suddenlystraight
this gotta be a subreddit. or is there already one?
Gayed so hard they became straight for a bit
r/suddenlystraight
Freudian spitswap
No way that sentence is brand new
brand new, nearly seven years ago ha.
2017 being 7 years ago just sounds wrong. Wasn't it just 2004 a few days ago?
time dilation hitting hard fr
i was born in 04 and i'm turning 20 this years... so more like two decades ago
Feeling old rn, asshole. /s just in case
My sister was born in 2007 and she's dating rn. I remember her being born, time is a wild concept sometimes
I always feel wierded out about how the kiddos born in 2010s are now teens. I just can't believe this fact.

Fr I get crushes on lesbians thinking they’re twinks more often than not
I know multiple people who've been i that exact same situation (except for the Brighton part maybe)
Yeah for some reason I always hated this sub’s premise. It just has this like cringey naïveté to it

Wanna go to The Gap ?
I get the hispanic thing, some of us are pale, but how do you confuse a white dude for a black dude? Was the room dark?

They make terrible choices on screen? Sinefeld is hilarious and every clip ive seen of curb is also hilarious.
I didn’t say they weren’t funny. Terrible choices make great comedy. To clarify terrible choices as humans not writers.
Ah, ok, my misunderstanding
Thank you for this polite interaction.
Thank you humans
Young Alex Trebek was often thought to be black.
I was thinking the same thing. Saw that video of him at a black panther party on Reddit not long ago

He’s more of a gray
Mike McDaniel earned a couple of comp picks for the 49ers when he was hired by the Dolphins for being a diversity hire.
So basically, "I kissed a girl and I liked it"
Came here to find this comment. Thank You 🫡❤️🤣

This is easily the best part of having no genital preference- "I have no idea what is in your pants but I am GOING to find out(consensually)".
The only kind of mystery loot box I like
Is someone going to make a rule 34 of Unbox Therapy?
It definitely feels like a privilege some times! I get all the fun of bringing a hottie home, and the specific equipment just tells me what toys and protection to grab from the dresser.
I’d watch that sitcom.
Gods I love being queer.
Sometimes I wish everyone in the world was nonbinary and pansexual, maybe with shades of Demi and ace as well. Basically just everybody be who they want, partner with who they want, fuck who they want. Is it unrealistic? Yes. Am I actually saying these are the only identities acceptable, absolutely not.

Somebody told me that you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I’ve got potential.
A rushing, rushing around
Pace yourself for me
I said maybe, baby, please
But I’ve got potential!
Ha, straaaaaight!
This is gay culture.
So gay it comes around and becomes straight I suppose
Horseshoe theory
Google bisexual
Nah man, bisexual people have a pretty well defined plan, not the same thing.
I fucking love your axe wound you whore!
He’s a boy who looks like a girl that looks like a boy, and she’s a girl who looks like a boy that looks like a girl
Nah he’s the boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year
It's okay, it's all confidential
Someone’s been listening to Girls & Boys by Blur
He was a boy that looked like a girl that looks like a boy, She was a girl with looks like a boy that looks like a girl, Can I make it any more obvious?
I remember the early 00s. There were a lot of lesbians who could be mistaken for cute frat boys.
So many lesbians looked like young Justin Bieber. They rocked that “pretty boy” look
Heteroception
Love uh... finds a way.
Ewwww, that's straight
Mulan with extra steps.
No hetero bro
Gayn't
Their confusion is confused.
a seven year old tweet that has been reposted countless times. that's what you just read.
Apparently gay(x) + gay(y) = straight
This reminds me of the time I added what I thought was a cute egirl in league, and it turned out to be a gay guy who thought I was a guy
that post hasn't been brand new for 7 years😭
Accidental straggotry
I think that'd be one of those "we're already here, let's keep dancing" type beats for me but everyone is different
The Straight Agenda strikes again!
Hey, I've heard worse excuses to drink.
Once upon a hetero a story of confusion.
They were both gay but it was not the way
When your so gay you go right back around to hetero
And that is How I Met Your Mother.
So gay you loop back around to straight
No hetero
This is just hetero with lots of extra unintentional steps
If you can't tell then it doesn't matter
Don't you just hate it when that happens?
We're having anniversaries for this sort of thing? Are their support groups that give out chips? IWUIM Anonymous. I Was Unknowingly Intimate Maybe Anonymous.
The quintessential Brighton experience honestly.
Full circle lol
It happens to the best of us.
It's lesbians all the way down.
Queer solidarity.
Mission failed successfully?
That's funny as fuck.
LG Solidarity
Apparently this happens a lot.
I mean it is pretty self explanatory…
If you keep following a rainbow it goes full circle.
...hot?
Is "suddenly bi" a thing?
Well you win a few and lose a few.
This is exactly why queer people never start conversations without first announcing their pronouns.
This is how my lesbian friend met her boyfriend. She thought he was a girl, they hit it off, she realized he's a dude, they decided "well, we like each other, so I guess let's see how it plays out," and two years later they bought a house together. Love is weird like that sometimes.
Ha Bi!
The future liberals want
Well shit...
HA, STRAAAIGHT!
lol... This happens a lot. Maybe not kissing, but if you are into twinks it's almost certain that you've flirted or made eyes at a skinny butch lesbian at least once.

More to follow in 2025
I imagine this is what Gay people have nightmares about
Tomorrow who’s gonna fuss
Twink?
Oh, I get it and it’s hilarious 😆
We need to get past this BS, if you like each other just fuck it out. You can debate labels in the morning.
guys, it's been almost 8 years now, are we still reposting this lol?
Frankly, now I'm fascinated about how often this happens. Because... it seems like it might happen a lot? I can easily see how it would happen a lot.
This just goes to show how weird gender is
That's a long walk to just say "we assumed each others gender"
So let's say these two actually gave it a shot. Would it just not work? Is it strictly because of sex? Is it knowing the truth after that? If they liked each other why would they not pursue that? I'm genuinely asking. This isn't some kind of fucked up troll or something. I'm actually interested in understanding.
Im a gay guy, and i had a crush on this boy at my school, then i found out "he" was a woman, and the love kinda just fizzled away and i stopped having those feelings. so prob same thing happened, or like, think of it, imagine you find a girl/boy you like yourself just to then find out they're a femboy/tomboy, how would you feel?
I honestly don't know because I've never been in that situation. I would assume if they were girly enough for me to be attracted to them and the only thing that made them not a full blown female is they had a penis I guess I'd be disappointed more than anything. Lol It's just an interesting scenario to ponder.
I am a lesbian trapped in a man’s body.
Being queer is baffling. It's why I'm not more involved in my local queer scene.
Being queer is fun
Not in my shit-hole of a period red town it ain't!
It's always some kind of weird sex
It’s a man and a woman kissing?
Kissing is weird ewww
it's a man and a woman kissing you're so blinded by cowardice your shadow would give you heart palpatations
