LGBTQIAP+ Milestones: Book 3

accepting myself

By Starr

~

from a really young age i was interested in how people's emotions worked. for example, when my friends told me about their crush, i'd always ask them what they liked about them. i soon got crushes and started to like people, but then i got to the age when i started to think about my sexuality.

did i like girls? yes. did i like boys? yes. so i classed myself as bisexual, and everyone gave me weird looks. when i got in relationships with boys, i was treated no different than if i was with no one. but when i was with a girl, i'd get all sorts of homophobic insults thrown at me, saying i wasn't quite 'normal'. so after that happening each time i liked a girl, i gave up with relationships altogether.

then i met a transgender boy. he was bullied all throughout school and me being a part of the lgbtq community, i stood up for him a lot. we ended up being together after a while, me not caring about what others thought about us. of course we'd get a few remarks but we didn't care.

i now class myself as pansexual, someone who'd be in a relationship with anyone who refers to their self as anything. i may not be with said trans boy anymore, but i thank him for opening my eyes a little more.
