No, but the fact that it is now annoying rather than heart thudding, sweaty palms, etc is progress. I celebrate that every time I have to come out again.
Haha, I think it’s annoying for all those reasons!
Be more stereotypical and let them assume? Idk. People would be shocked if I were straight
That’s why I put a question mark and “idk” because only some happen to fall within those lines. I also don’t suggest adapting to the stereotypes if they are not innate for the sake of others
No need to come out over and over again, just be you and eventually they’ll figure out and if they ask just say “yep”. You don’t owe them any explanation or have to come out to everyone you meet, you are out and that’s that 😊
For me, after telling certain people (parents/close friends) I stopped caring. The hardest were always the people closest to me. There is no need for me to come out to new people since it should not concern them.

Funny story: when I was in private practice a junior associate asked me if I “had a girlfriend.” I said “no.” Then she proceeded to tell me she had the perfect person (a girlfriend of hers) that I really should meet. My response: “I didn’t say I was single.” Her: “Oh. I get it!” Point is it never stops and I still think she’s great, but it is one of those things one has to do over and over. It doesn’t bother me though.
Find a flag - sometimes carrying a pink or purple iPhone cord or an HRC sticker on your laptop is enough to remove the need to keep discussing it. :)
