RIP to the thrill and joy of not knowing whether someone believes in reproductive autonomy when you're contemplating having sex with them?

I get feeling like it's unfair to be rejected because you don't check someone's boxes, but nobody has an obligation to like, or to consider liking, anyone for any reason. That's not how liking people works.

And that's before we even get to the straightforwardly practical relationship between having sex with someone and wanting their sexual ethics and values to be compatible with yours.

"As a libertarian, I feel like I'm missing out on friendships and relationships with people who'd like me if they gave me a chance" is a frustration I totally get, and even sympathize with. But "the people who are rejecting me are wrong to do so" is where I get off the bus.

(And yes, that's an MTA bus. Yay public transit!)
