    Been looking at males that way since I was 7. Then, starting to question at 11. Accepted that I liked guys at 16.

    I didn't accept that I was bi until my mid 20s, and trans until about 30. Definitely was questioning gender younger than that, though...

    Guess I fully accepted it by 14, though I was more or less aware since 11, when I started having dreams of a sexual nature involving boys in my class.

    Realized it? About 13-14 I started noticing the guys in the locker room while they were starting to notice girls. Though I repressed it and tried to ignore it, it was always there. I guess I was in my late 20s before I actually started to deal with it and finally started accepting myself and started coming out to my closest friends about 30-31.

    Started checking out guys (and subsequently questioning my sexuality) when I was 18 and accepted my gayness a year later.

    I might not be gay or a lesbian,
    but I am a Transgender Pansexual person and I didn't come to accept that about my self until some time last year.

    and I was 26 then.

    Had my first crush on a girl at fourteen, came out to the first person at nineteen. Still not all the way to acceptance

    12-13 when I started questioning myself here and there, but 15 was the big age for me. This was also when I befriended one of the only openly gay girls at my school. I started really considering my sexually and now a year later identify mostly as a lesbian
