I felt this way because I am also a mother and I think I would lose it if my daughters were questioned about their sexuality just because another person is "curious". With as many resources out there and the simplicity of using something so simple as google or even youtube, there is no reason for anybody to make another person feel uncomfortable just to satisfy their curiosity and especially if that person is a stranger whom know nothing about the person they are being intriguing about. As a matter of fact with the amount of time we spend on social media or technology it seems fairly unusual for you not to be able to simply use it and do a bit of research I know I do it all the time if I come across something unusual for me and for which I am curious to learn more about. I also agree that heterosexual people are very priviledged in terms of not having to explain or give reasoning as to their body parts or anything because it falls within societies "norm". That stinks because why should you have to be looked weird at or different just because you were born different to what you identify yourself as. That is just not fair and why should we even care? I think we should follow the saying our parents most likely told us growing up, "mind your own business", and I am not going to say I haven't looked because that would be lying but I will say I haven't judged because that is simply not my "business" nor does it concern me. I mean, would you like to be questioned about why you dress the way you do or why you have the body parts you do? I highly doubt it.
