Was having this conversation with some new friends earlier and was curious. When did you guys figure out your sexuality/identity or whatever? Was there a person that helped you or a particular moment or event?

I figured out that I (cis fem) was into other women when I was in junior high school, probably around age 11 or 12. It helps that I am in an accepting part of the country (California) with accepting parents, so there was never any demonization of that possibility. One of my earlier memories about it was seeing an underwear ad and thinking that that model was really hot lol.

It took me longer to realize I was actually bi and not a lesbian.
