i honestly think mine was sometime in 8th grade when i realized that i didn’t just admire this guy, i wanted to go out with him.

i got jealous when he jokingly flirted with guys, but at the same time hoped that he was hinting that he was queer and not just joking around.

Mine was in highschool, when I realized that I'm trans and therefore also lesbian. Well, at least that's what I thought until I started HRT and began to find myself being attracted men as well and that I'm actually pan. Thinking back on it though, I think I found guys attractive years before I even realized that I'm trans and just didn't accept it for some reason.

A safe space for GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space
