Sometimes I notice myself anticipating things out of people based on associations around them - not even consciously, it just emerges out of commonalities of interaction. For example, girls with blunt bangs and short haircuts tend to be artistic and queer.

Was I told this? Did I consciously decide this was the association? No - I just noticed one day that I had this association. What are some totally unconscious associations you have about people? I'm particularly interested in negative associations, or ones you use to avoid ppl.

I ask cause I'm swiping on tinder right now and like 98% of it is just negative associations.

Interestingly they don't seem to be stereotypically consistent. I have a strong negative association with facial piercings and anybody who uses the word 'queer,' but neutral/slightly positive associations with trans people and cis men wearing women's clothes.

there's a lot of stuff you've been sharing recently that all points to the possibility that like everyone else (myself included)... you've probably got a lot of unlearning to do.

Maybe, but also maybe not. It's possible these associations were developed after repeated reinforcement.

Also I'm surprised at how I seem to recognize nonbinary female bodied people even when present femme.
