when did you discover your identity?

Question

Answer

I’m in my mid 20’s, just kind of figured out I’m bi the past few years.... annnnd I’m married to a man...

Answer

I’ve known for almost my entire life that I was attracted to women. But because I was raised in a very strict and Christian house, I felt I HAD to be attracted to men. So I pushed what I wanted aside and only slept with and dated men. A little over a year ago I got in contact with one of my OMF friends from middle school who had always been out and is non-binary. As soon as we got in contact I was thrown into a panic and identity crisis. And now am out and proud to be a pansexual woman. Though I’m pansexual, I cant see myself ever being with a man again. So does that just make me a lesbian? 😂

Answer

I identify as asexual (biromantic).  I never felt sexual attraction to anyone and just never understood the hype so I kinda went through my middle and high school years pretty oblivious since there wasn’t like this big change.
In college, one of my friends and I got on the subject and they introduced me to asexuality.  Since then, I’ve been exploring that identity, trying to sort through my feelings (am I experiencing sexual vs. romantic attraction) and finding what fits me the best.

Answer

I didn’t realize until middle school that i had an attraction to girls since i was young. Looking back, when i was in like 4th grade id look up girls making out on youtube 😭. It was 7th grade and i had my first crush on a girl. It all made sense after that. I had questioned my gender since 7th grade as well but identified as a girl until freshman year. I finally figured out who i am and i love my identity!

Answer

I feel like I've always known. 
When I first hit the sexuality part of puberty I fantasized about females often. I came out to my mom as Pan when I was 11 or 12.
Although I presented as straight for most of my years untill my 20's because that's what I thought I was, I think I felt like me being Bi/Pan was a 'phase' and that I should get over myself. Which I feel some type of way about.
Now I'm 21, and openly Bi/Pan.

Answer

I mean, I’ve known I like girls for a very long time, but only in my twenties did I realize I’m pan sexual. This whole sexual and gender is entity thing isn’t a one and done, it’s a lifetime of self discovery and it fluctuates, just like everything else in our personality.
