I am an 18 yo straight/"cis" male attending a highschool in Southern California. Many of my friends are active in tumblr and fairly strong feminists, which I supported for many years until recently.

They have one by one come out at bi, then pan sexual, then asexual and homoromantic, and it has degraded into more abortrary forms sexual orientation that I have to look up the terms whenever someone comes out to me now.

It has gotten to the point where I am constantly surrounded by people judging me for being simply straight, and particularly for being born male and still identifying as male. It's like its not socially acceptable to identify as the same gender I was born with, and the only gender I have ever know.

Last night I found myself at a small party of 7 people and part way through realized there was only one other straight person there, a 17 yo male. The rest of the group was mostly female, including pansexuals, lesbians, gay men, and pansex/homoromantic. I've never judged them purely for their sexual orientation, but just the way they treat me.

At one point, one of the girls said something to the affect of "God, boys are such douches, why do you even like boys??"(this was directed at a gay male). I am fairly shy but interjected that "hey that was rude", and nearly everyone said "oh of course not you, just everyone else".

I took that and was momentarily satisfied thinking that they didn't actually judge me, but as I thought about it more, if I had said "God girls are idiots, why do you even like them??" And pointed at a lesbian girl, I would have probably been kicked out, regardless of how I tried to defend the statement.

I am just sick of being judged for being straight by so many people I used to consider close friends, and last night it really hit me and I've been upset about it since then.

If you guys have any advice on how to confront this issue to them I would really appreciate it. I don't want to be rude and I don't dislike their identity, I just need to find a way to make them realize they are being hurtful.
