Heteronormativity

Heteronormativity treats heterosexual attraction and cisgender identity as the default, invisible baseline against which all other orientations and identities are measured as deviation. It operates not primarily through loud condemnation but through silence, assumption, and institutional design—making it possible to discriminate without ever naming what you're excluding.
