1. This is sexist because it refers to the person only by their sexual identity and not by any other aspects the person may have. It uses totalizing to represent the person. "Totalizing is responding to a person as if one label totally represents that person" (Wood 76). Instead the person could use person centered communication.

Also, there isn't any use of sexist language. The person applies their perception of them being short to both the men and the women of the heritage. It doesn't just single out one sex.
3. I believe this is heterosexist because
