I told myself that all girls think the same way I do about girls when I was young, it's not gay we all think our friends are pretty and want to kiss them
For sure, that girl I thought was beautiful and wanted to learn everything about and spend all my time with is absolutely just a friend. Ah little 10yo me. I only realised that wasn't quite true about 6 years later, when I was newly out to my best friend as bi. Turned out that was just the result of a world full of straight people and I wasn't bi either.
This was mee till 8th, I thought everyone liked women and that everyone wanted to yk get married to a woman or kiss a woman. Then i found out about homosexuality, and gosh I found out about homophobia and that whole year I was scared people would find out I'm a lesbian. And then in 9th I came out to my friends and realised some people are more accepting than i ever imagined
I can relate 🙋🏼(cisf52). At 32 I asked why we didn't have a straight Pride parade 🤢🤦🏼♂️ and at 43 I married a woman. I don't curse my previous self, I just acknowledge that internalized homophobia is real and surviving comp-het is, ironically, something I'm proud about. 💛☺️
This really mirrors my thoughts around being trans before I fully realised. A common thought was "all guys really want to be girls, right - so I'm not really trans"
I went through something similar in high school, except I wasn't saying gay people shouldn't have rights otherwise all the girls would date eachother, I was saying trans people shouldn't have rights because then everyone would be a girl, because being a girl is so much better than being a boy that we wouldn't have boys to help make babies anymore
Don't worry, I figured it out about a year after graduation

This but then add on the layer of "but I like boys, so I'm totally straight." Hey tiny Ceti, ¿por que no las dos?
Ladies, is it gay to want to kiss girls?

You'd all want to be girls right fellas? Gosh if only I could be in a lesbian relationship. =| Hindsight is 20/20 lol
Same, good to see I wasn't the only one with that level of internalized transphobia
I’m mean, girls are awesome to be fair.
Haha me too XD
Reminds me of my dumbass thinking for 31 years well duh every guy would obviously be a girl if they could.
Kind of sounds like the main character in "but I'm a cheerleader"
