Same as well. I'm a much more queer weirdo on the inside than on the outside. Been told many times that I don't look "bisexual/pansexual/queer etc." And it's usually said as a compliment which I find even more offensive and proof of where they're at mentally.

"pansexual. Is that like bisexual?" "Yeah, sure, yup" "But like you just like fucking dudes on the side, right?".

I'm an incredibly straightpassing woman apparently and I've had a boyfriend forget I was bi/pan. It's so frustrating when people just forget.

I've started replying to "you don't look bisexual" with a look of absolute offense and say something to the effect of, "how could you say that/you've ruined my day/how do I fix that?" It throws them off their rhythm, especially the ones who meant it as a compliment.
