How did you know?

[NegaScott_7x7]

I had a crush on the girl next door when I was around 5 years old. Im sure I would have known earlier if I had been into anyone at all but I wasn't. I also knew I had to hide my liking of other girls or I would get in trouble. I just knew somehow that liking boys was ok, but liking girls was not, according to my mom. From way early on my mom pushed our family's religion on me and I remember never liking it at all. I never really believed it but I pretended to. I can even remember never wanting to say the name Jesus. So from the beginning I had things to hide. It sucks having that burden on you even as a kid. As I got older, I realized my sexuality to its full extent and came to terms with it pretty quickly. Now all that's left to do is get my mom to come to terms with it.

So in short, I knew since I was a tiny child.

I had my suspisions for a few years that I might be bisexual. But it wasn't until I met my ex girlfriend Jessica that I KNEW. From the moment I met her I knew she was right for me. She was smart funny and beautiful. Everyon said it was just a phase or whatever, but I knew better. Unfortunatly, we kinda fell apart, but oh well.

First, I noticed I was bi-curious when I realized that all of the men I felt attracted to were rather effeminate.

I flirted with the idea of being attracted to females more than men, but I felt that the idea left something to be desired.

Skip a lot of the confusion I felt from being exposed to yaoi, shounen-ai, (what, am I a gay man stuck in a female body?), etc...

When I found out about T, ladyboys, transgenders, all the in-betweens, I figured that 'bi-sexual' wasn't going to cut if. Pansexual found it's way into my vocabulary and I felt it fit, didn't like the sound of it, but it's a nice blanket term. Don't want any gender-variant left out.

The more I thought about all the in-betweens, though, the more I felt like picking male or female was too limiting. What's it called when you're only attracted to the in-betweens? I'd really like to know. I might be that.

Ideally, I'd want to meet someone who's gender-fluid, comfortable with their biological gender without being rigid in their sexual identity.

Note: I have no actual dating experience, so I've no way of knowing if it'll feel much different than I've imagined.
For Clarification: I am a biological female; though, I consider my identity to be gender-fluid.

I actually have trouble remembering before 5th grade so I'm not sure what happened back then, but I do remember going to family/behavior counseling because I wasn't "Behaving properly" or something.

Most of Jr. High and all of Highschool I felt...weird, off, out of place, you name it. Standard feelings some may say, for most kids they are, true. I don't know, I felt like it went deeper than that. I felt like a robot just doing what I was programmed to do.

I felt like I had twin personalities as well, I'd go back and forth between quiet and robotic, and sometimes extremely giddy/hyper around friends. It's weird when you hear your own thoughts in a different voice. For a while, most of the time, I heard a female voice in my head. I thought I was crazy ._.

When I started hanging out in IRC channels, one day somehow the subject came up, and someone explained that it sounded like I was trans. I refused to accept it for a few months. Literally refused, no matter what it felt like, I couldn't accept it.

My sweetie helped me with that, and now I feel a lot better. No more voice in my head either.

....I'm WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIRD!

same goes with the two inner selves of different genders.
my dreams were also a lot about me being a man, though i didn't want to believe that. well, i surrendered. >w<

Thank goodness I thought I was the only one. ._.

I think I realised I was Bi at about 16 years old, when I had a crush on my female friend. At first I thought something was wrong with me, but then I thought back to all the signs I didn't notice before (infatuation with female teachers & celebrities, looking at other girls in the locker room, etc).

I think my Sims game realised it before I did; it would always pair me up with a girl. lol

N'awwwww! razz Apparently we really can't fight fate razz Still, adorable. ^___^

I got hit on by a friend who I had known was gay, but never even considered could be into me.

I punched him in the face and ran away (stict christian upbringing) and eventually we 'made up and made out', so to speak razz

Ended up dating him for a year.

Hmmmm, this would be a long story to tell but to keep it short, I think it all started when I was about 13 and I started looking at yaoi alot.At first I kinda always lied to myself and told myself that it was just for fun but in reality I was really really into it.I still dated girls though all through my teens, those relationships never lasted for more than a month or so. I took a chance and started flirting with a guy and it turned out to be the smartest move in my life cause' I love him with all my heart and we've been together for going on 2 years now, way longer than any girl I've been with.

I noticed the way I looked at girls
and then one day I really realized I had a crush on my best friend (online) then we started dating.

mine i kinda figured out when i was about 15, at least the trans part. it was after i had gotten sick and was treated for cancer. im not sure, ive always felt like the surgerys i had caused me to realize it sooner than i would have, after that i went for a few years keeping quiet about it, somewhat trying to ignore it i mean i was already different enough, i didnt want to add any more.when i was in high school i made a friend who was really interesting, always interested in manga and things id never even heard of.i had to drop out of high school right when i was really close to graduating for medical reasons and then a few years later she had the idea that i should go get my ged with her husband because he was going for it too so i did and the day i got it my family gave me like 500 dollars and i didnt really know what to do with it so my friend told me about a convention around here called dragon con and that we should go so we went, had a great time and that was when i told her about being trans and she wasnt suprised at all she said.

wait, when we realized...oops
