    I thought everyone was sexually attracted to all genders at least a little bit until I learned that no, straight people are actually straight.

    I was 17 I realized I was trans. A revelation that helped me better understand my sexuality as well. Turns out I’m bi/pan. I did spend several years just assuming I was ace because the idea of sex didn’t interest me until I realized I was a woman.

    Around 15-16. I used to browse 4chan during it’s heavy trap phase and realized I don’t mind if they have a penis as long as they look like a girl

    I was 26 when I realized that romantic attraction is even a thing. It was a year later before I realized that I am ace as well as aro.

    1. I stopped denying that being attracted to femboys was gay.

    Really I should’ve recognized I was bi when my first boner to a man was the same year as my first boner period.

    I was a teen when I found the word asexual and knew what was “wrong” with me. I had known way before though, I just didn’t have a word for it. On the other hand I was over twenty when I finally figured I was trans too. In hindsight the signs were already there when I was six years old or so, it just wasn’t a thing people understood back then

    Don’t know what I am yet, but definitely confident enough to consider myself LGBTQ last year at 30

    I should have realized it when I was experimenting with friends but I had my first real inkling at 13. Tried opening up to someone who said “ew” which scared me into full denial for a good long time.

    Early teens:

    D’Angelo’s video for Untitled (How Does It Feel)? made me realize I like dudes too. Round the same time I remember blushing heavily watching the male gym teacher do pushups.

    Knew I liked women earlier when some kid snuck a stack of porno mags and a bunch of kids flipped thru em ogling the titties etc.

    37- My spouse realized they were nonbinary, which made me do some self examination and realize I wasn’t as cis as I thought I was.
