When did you know this about yourself? Everyone else BSN when did you know you where straight or LBGT ??
Sure, why not, I'll indulge a bit
I had started experiencing dysphoria from a relatively early age, though I can't pinpoint the exact time. But I would cross dress in secrecy at home as early as age 9, and also not-so-secretly when I spent time at my female friends' houses (the number of female friends I was able to make throughout my whole life greatly outweighed the number of males, and I'd like to think that spending so much of my time around them also helped me to really start to gain awareness of my female side). I can't even remember a time when I passed urine standing up. And my interests developed over a complete lack of care as to what was collectively referred to as "feminine" or "masculine". My favourite show during childhood was Sailor Moon, but I also grew up loving DBZ and corny action movies, among other things. I played with dolls on some days and traded pokemon with the boys at school on others. Childhood was an easy time since I didn't have to think about it too hard and nobody gave me crap over it. It was evident though, that I had two sides to me that would pull a switcheroo depending on the day/mood. The teenage years, however, were a time of some hard emotional turmoil because many people feel the need to give you a hard time if you don't fit their preconceived moulds of "normality" (there's that word again). And puberty, but that's a given.
I think it was through pilfering through several books or sites or something that I stumbled across the term "bigender" and it was a time of great revelation to me. Just one of those times where you discover something and it really clicks. Life only improved after that. Sure, I still underwent a pretty difficult depression because I feared my family's reaction (their kind of upbringing gave me the impression that they'd respond negatively to it), but I've been on the come-up ever since last year when I finally decided to come out and experienced tremendous surprise at their lukewarm reaction, so I consider myself reeeeally fortunate that I have that kind of support system. And it made it significantly easier to remove affiliations with any toxic people that may have still been in my life. I still get the confused questions from some who think it must be so difficult for me to maintain two names and identities (which is funny to me? cause no matter what I identify as on any given day I still feel like at the core I only have one identity lol), but whateva.
I don't really have a fancy story for coming to terms with my sexuality. It's just something I've always looked at passively, I guess.
