    That’s why I said “looks like” and not that it is. Sad truth is LGBT people aren’t often found in jobs like that… and it would be statistically unusual for most or all of them to be LGBT.

      Neither gender identity or sexuality is defined by appearance. That’s not any better. All you’re doing is prejudicially perpetuating stereotypes.

      I have a feeling if someone said that a person “looks gay” or “looks trans”, you wouldn’t defend them responding to being called out for saying that with ‘I didn’t say they are, just said they look like it!’
