I don't see how those two are related at all and honestly treating them as interchangeable is... cringe.

There is no harm in suggesting you thought someone was gay or straight, especially because sexuality has nothing to do with outward appearance and can be kinda nebulous to infer at all. If you're not comfortable with the idea of being lgbt+, how are you an ally? Nothing differentiates a gay man from a straight one, outside of attraction to other men.

Whereas so much of trans struggles and validity relate to how they're/we're perceived. Do I pass enough to shit in the restroom that conforms to my identity?

Intuition - "quick and ready insight; the power of knowing things without conscious reasoning."

Iunno, I think that's covered by "social cueues and tendencies". Your intuition is still fueled by the things you perceive and isn't magic, or necessarily accurate.

I feel the need to emphasize that there is no difference between a straight person and a gay person outside of where they fall on the kinsey scale, just as there's no difference between a trans person and a cis person, outside of the difference between their physical traits and preferred gender.

People are made up of tens of billions of neurons firing in a complicated puzzle, every one of us is unique and different. We should use caution and discretion in defining and perceiving the labels we use to categorize people using any trait that is not directly influenced by that trait.

I feel that was covered by saying "trends/social queues"

"Gaydar" is just making a guess based on social queues. Maybe it's an educated guess but it is a guess.

I think that's more of a tell on your own insecurities if the notion makes you uncomfortable. You can't tell if someone is gay, even if there are some trends/social queues.

Nah, this week an ex al qaeda member/leader visited trump in the white house. Lots of smiles and handshakes.

Yeah, US as well... Nothing more important going on nationally so we we've got plenty of legislative time to federally negotiate sportsball rules,.. since the leagues aren't capable of determining fair rules on their own.

A handful. Importantly the ban isn't backed up by science or data.
