    Was sexually drawn to females since around 9 years old, pursued boys I thought were cute because that is what I was "supposed" to do in middle school and highschool, knew something was different about me but dated a man anyway. And then at the ripe old age of 25, I had a lapdance from a stripper which pushed me over the edge and I stopped questioning. Now I'm a full time follower of Sappho.

    I knew I liked boys for as long as I could remember, even in those little kid "crush" phases. I knew I was trans* as early as 12, because that's when I leaned it was actually called something.

    I think I started questioning it around 12. I'm in my 20s now and I think I've finally got it basically figured out.

    Probably.

    I think for me, the confusion about my sexuality started at around 13 and i think only now at the age of 19 have i figured it out :slight_smile:

    I was about 12, took me a while to even think about what it meant, I think I was about 14 before I understood the word gay applied to me.

    I began questioning when I was 14 years old. It took me until I turned 16 before I ended my "denial stage".

    18, up until then I fully repressed my homosexuality and stopped questioning anything.

    I started questioning when I was twelve and didn't admit it until a little after I turned sixteen

    15 and leaned in to kiss my best friend on our way to class. I freaked out when I realized what I was doing and changed it to a hug half way through, then ran and spent the next day and a half suppressing the notion that I could possibly like girls. So, yes, majorly in denial for... several years, actually. Less so now, but still working on it.

    Definitely feel like I should've realized it sooner though - hindsight is definitely 20/20!

    I guess I always knew I was different from the other boys, but I was more like 13 or 14 when I started noticing it, but I did not understand it. I really did not fully understand my own sexuality until I was like 18, but then accepting it has taken a lot longer.

    Knew I was different at 9, sorta-accepted it at like 12-ish, came out at 14. .... That was for being a lesbian. Still not totally sure what I *actually* am.

    I was completely clueless during childhood. I had a gnawing dread (religion! bah!) during my 20s and 30s. Followed by a slow awakening in my early 40s. And this is where I find myself.
