Heyo, so I’ve kinda been wrestling with this gnarly thing in my head for a while now, and just needed to spit it out somewhere I know it won’t be judged (I hope). Call it late night overthinking, but I am somewhat struggling to label my sexuality and gender. The logic behind my giant muddle up? Stick around and I’ll try to make sense of it for both of us.
Basically, I grew up in a pretty traditional household. Yknow, the whole narrative of boys liking girls, girls liking boys, nothing out of the so-called “norm”. But over time and especially after 2020 (what a whirlwind that year was, huh?), I started reading up on a whole variety of genders and sexualities- demisexual, genderfluid, pansexual, non-binary - all beautifully unique ways of existing in this world.
Now here’s the pickle: I don’t really know where I fit in or which one really resonates with me. Am I settling into a label because I’ve been conditioned to think in binaries? Or is there ambiguity in our so-called predisposed matches? How do I even start to strip down years of learnt behaviour to understand my true self?
Ya know what’s funny? Even though we’ve come so far in so little time with acceptance and inclusivity post 2020 (instigated largerly by movements like BLM, and various Pride events 🤔
