Looking back do any of you see that there were 'signs' that you were gay?

1. When I was about six-years-old, I would sit in church and because of how boring it was I would make up stories about the grown men around me. These stories involved one bumping into another repeatedly, by accident. Or one would climb into the shirt as another was still wearing it. I didn't think anything of it, it was just entertaining for some reason...
2. Goosebumps. Monster Blood III. Evan accidentally swallows some and begins growing bigger and bigger. Any sort of physical descriptions like these were really intriguing to me...
3. At the doctor's office they have that treasure chest where you get to pick a toy after getting a shot or something. I chose a blue gel bracelet once. Then another time they didn't have blue, so I chose a red one (it was kind of pink, though). My mom made me give it to my female cousin.
4. My mom had all these diet books and there were photos of people who exhibited the different body types. I used to look at the men sometimes when she wasn't there. I also have this thing for overweight men now, kind of...
5. This one guy in my class always had sleepover birthday parties every year. On his eleventh birthday (5th grade, I was ten), it was a sleepover/dance party. Slow-dancing at age ten?? I hated it. I thought I just wasn't old enough to like it yet...

 

Pffft! You silly boy. XD

 

I owned a hello-kitty plastic stove for playing house lol and i was always the mom XD

And I was damn good at it too

 

Iti s quite amusing

 

Last time I did the signs that I was transgender. This time, I'm doing the signs that I was a lesbian.

Well, when I was in younger teenage years, I thought that I had to like guys because I was a girl. For some reason, though, I thought very few guys were "cute" and when I did find one that was cute and interested in me, I didn't feel anything when he kissed me.

During this time, I developed many crushes on girls. This made with confused and I questioned if I really was a girl after all. I didn't understand how I could like girls. I really liked kissing girls and messing around, but things never progressed far. Most of the girls I experienced these events with found it strange when I would prefer taking the submissive role. They thought it was interesting at first, but it eventually made them feel strange about it. Plus, things never progressed farther than making out because I hated my male part and didn't want to use it.

It was a very confusing time. What was I? A girl? But I still liked girls. Am I straight? But I don't want to use my male part and my fantasies always involved me being a woman. When I learned about lesbians, suddenly everything clicked for me.

 

My hair has always been, and will hopefully always be, short and spikey.
Guys have never been more than friends for me.
I have never worn make-up in my whole life.
I have never worn dresses in my whole life voluntairily. (my mum made me wear dresses and skirts when I was younger)
I dream about girls.
I thought I had to like guys, so I pretended to like guys. I had a few female friends, and whenever they said 'he's hot', I'd agree, even though it did nothing to me.
I've always liked rainbows

 

1. Cinderella was my go-to video as a kid.
2. My Power Ranger adventures of ended with the Blue and Red Ranger kissing.
3. I used "walk like a girl" as my mother called it.
4. I remember being like 3 and running back and forth to my mm with different outfits asking if they matched. (they did)
5. I watched more Mary Kate and Ashley shows/movies than anyone I knew
6. I always knew there was a reason I never fit in.
7. I had a friend-crush on a girl.
8. My first kiss was not enjoyable. My first boy kiss was bliss.
9. I dreamed of having my own Cinderella story (see #1)
10. The little white plastic things that come in pizzas? They were the tables that my action figures had meals on. I also used home poker chips as plates.

 

I used to play with my action figures more like dolls. I rarely had them fight. They just sat around talking and being weird.

I was an odd child...

 

I'm a mixed up kid caue I've got bothmasculine and morefeminin attributes about m chilhood. perhaps somebody herecan analyze them? Iused to play basketball, soccer an soft ball. I stayed at home most f thtime cooking, cleaning and socialing. I had actin figures, video gams (supr nes, nerf ball gns, etc. However, I rubbed my sisters feet, ran awayfro fights, lety big brother take care of me, hit on by friends in Tx, Nm and now Al and etc. I also had a friend sho his six pack to me and his pubic har underneath a sheet tent whenI was like eleven or twelve. Any feedback?

 

lets just say that my mom knew when i was five cuz i asked for a pair of heels......enough said lolz

 

When I was seven years old, thinking back I thought Devon Shawa (Casper) was hot.



Apparently I've been bi longer than I thought... I just shrugged it off back then because the rest of the movie I fell for Christina Ricci.

 

I was molested for 13 years and always thought my aversion to sex came from that. Never occured to me that I was repulsed by men because they were men... thought it was just because the men I had experienced were all assholes. (Sigh...) Could I really be this dense?
Things I didn't pick up on:
My friends were all boys (because the girls were catty bitches?)
I brought my Dad's porn to school to look at with my male friends (Grade 3)
Trying to see down a camp counsellor's shirt
Kissing guys just felt slobbery & gross (but I was good at it and liked being able to get a reaction from them. Too bad they didn't have the same skill for me...)
Things I am beginning to pick up on:
Maybe it wasn't all "them"...

 

I knew I was attracted to guys around 8 or 9 years old, when me my best friend were wrestling in our underwear, and he was laying on top of me I didn't want him to get off. Let's just say we hand many more wrestling matches.

 

When I was little I used to enjoy my sisters barbies and easy-bake oven more than she did.
In elementary school my only frinds were the four girls in the class. At recess we would often play house and I always thought it unfair they would never let me be the mother.
I always wanted to paint my nails and wear my mom's and sister's clothes.

 

Exact. Same. Book. And. Experience.

 

I've known from a very young age when I got attracted to boys but I tried to deny it.

 

I posted a ridiculous answer back in April (even though it IS true I did see that video in middle school, haha), but, I feel like actually saying real things now!

One particular instance, I remember watching Bladerunner and rewinding the scenes with Pris in them, over and over. For some reason, watching an athletic, powerful goth chick in revealing clothing, moving as gracefully as a panther, really, really interesting. I liked the rest of the movie too, but I got to the point where I'd start fast forwarding just to see her.

It did not occur to me until high school that it was possible for little ol' me to be anything but straight. Gay was for Other People, who I was dimly aware that my family disapproved of (at the time - they have changed their views). So I, much like many other girls my age, put pictures of boys on my desktop. Of course, I tended to pick people like Boy George (but, uh, like from back in the '80s, not more recent years) and Brian Molko. I only liked boys who were pretty, wore makeup, and generally looked like girls. Bonus points if they dressed like girls too. I used to have fantasies about having an androgynous, crossdressing boyfriend who, in retrospect, also acted like a girl. (And to this day, I might actually consider dating a dude like that. The trick would probably be finding one who likes women.) But as far as I was concerned, I was straight and being gay was icky.

I could also barely contain my boredom when my female friends would go on about how hott some actor was, or some boyband or other, or how they'd love to go make out with Anthony from math class. I just assumed it was some fault of mine for being socially awkward. Rather than it occurring to me that, hey, you sure do like Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine a whole lot, like seriously why does your heart skip beats when they come on the screen, maybe you like girls... I just thought there was something wrong with me. Sad!

My female friends in high school would sometimes hold hands and pretend to be gay to elicit reactions out of people. I knew that's why they were doing it, but I got so jealous. SO JEALOUS. I wanted to do that! I wanted to hold hands with a girl! Why couldn't I pretend to be a lesbian too?! ... Which was probably one of the first things that made me wonder.

 

i used to look at pictures of naked women on the internet...and for some reason, it took me forever to realize i was less than straight lol

Other than having sex with my friends on sleepovers when I was 12, no, nothing I can think of that would have been a sign I liked boys as well as girls....
