Always. I was confused when my parents tried to tell me I was only allowed to like boys.

I’m just turned 40.

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.

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

17. 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 realized I was bi around 21, and probably around 25, I knew I was something other than a cis man. I didn’t know quite what, and examining that question too deeply was scary. Nonbinary felt right, but I actually started presenting more and more masculine, I guess as a way of covering up and trying to deny what I realized just after I turned 29 - I’m actually a trans woman. It’s been such a relief to understand that and be able to start my transition

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

I discovered I was good at flirting at 17. I also discovered that as soon as a girl starts making out with me or getting handsy I lose interest. My brain is like “yay, validation, we won, okay let’s go get a snack.”

Took me over a year to learn that asexuality is a spectrum and that there are other people who like sex in theory but can be repulsed by (or indifferent to) it in practice.

I was 18 when I realized I felt the same way about Ro Laren and Maria Hill as I did about any men I thought were attractive but it wasn’t for several more years that I realized that when most people were attracted to someone they actually wanted to do something about it

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.

9ish? Although due to bullying, homophobia, culture, I wasn’t “ok” with a label until I was in my late 30s.

~30. I can’t be more precise, It was a long process realizing that what I am falls under LGBTQ. Maybe. I’m still afraid of being excluded.

I always thought I was “a little bi.” Growing up in the '80s in a religious household, I repressed tons. I didn’t realize that I was fully bisexual, or consider myself really “LBGTQ” until my forties.

6 or 7 - I experimented with kids my age, and it ‘clicked’. But I would struggle with that concept until I was about 12, when I decided ‘fuck this religious bullshit’. I started dating guys when I was 13, I was out to my friends the same year, the general population when I was 15, and finally my family at 21. Though for my family it wasn’t how I planned. I thought I was going to die soon; my original plan as a teen was to tell them on their death bed, mostly because of fear of physical violence. My family was very not-accepting growing up and through my teens. I lived in fear for all of my teenage+ years, many times not sleeping to make sure I wasn’t attacked in my sleep.

But yeah, at a very young age I was like ‘boys are cute’ and ‘wait a minute…’

12 or 13. but it took until I was 18 before I admitted it to myself and came out.

the 90s were a different time.
