Well...
A couple of months ago I realized that I thought sex was 'gross' and that I didn't feel and romantic attraction. I felt this a lot when I was younger (like 8 or 9) I also thought crushes/bf/gf were 'weird' and 'disgusting'. I found out about Asexuals a while ago, but I never really looked into it, but a month or two ago I started looking up this stuff and I found out I was aroace/asexual. So that's how I found out I was aroace and asexual.

Now I found out about my gender like this. I had hated my gender for a couple of years, but I never called myself anything other than female. I mean when I was young I used to pretend I could change genders whenever I wanted to. Later on I liked the 'male' gender more. Now a month ago, I asked someone about it. I go on this website called Quotev and I made an online friend that was transgender. I told this trans friend of mine about my gender dysphoria and he told me to use he/him pronouns and if I liked it I could use them more. So I started using them. I liked he/him pronouns more but I knew somewhere deep inside I still felt somewhat female. I looked it up and I saw the result bigender, but I didn't think I identified with it much, so I kept on researching different genders. Then one day I saw on someone's Quotev profile that they were demigirl and the definition of demigirl. I knew that I was demi gender then. I looked up demigender and I figured out I was demiboy.

That's my story. Sorry it's long.

Well, in all honesty it was when I was maybe 5 or something and I was watching Harry Potter and Hermione did something cool, and I immediately thought wow I wish I could kiss her. But, at my age I thought I just wanted to kiss her because I thought she was cool not because she was cute. So, a few years later I'm 9. And, I have this really close friend. She would hang over my house and whenever she would hug me, brush shoulders, or basically touch in anyway I would blush and my heart would beat out of my chest. I eventually figured out that this wasn't a normal thing to feel for someone to just be friends. My one other friend that was the only person that new I liked her told me to go for it. I did and when I was telling her my friend pushed me into, making me pin her to the wall. I didn't move out of pure shock, but after a few minutes I did. She told my that she was happy that she felt comfortable enough with her to tell her that I like her, bit she was straight. We were still best friends after that, but the next year she moved.

That's how I found out I was bisexual. I found out I was non binary by waking up one day and looking in the mirror and crying. I didn't understand why I was crying until I calmed myself down and looked at myself. I realized I hated how I looked, and at the time I thought it was just because I had low self-esteem. But, on days like that it would get me super angry whenever I had to wear girl-ish clothes or I was being called she/her. It took me a lot longer for me to realize that I was non binary than bisexual because it wasn't something I was aware could happen. So, I did a bunch of research and realized a lot of other people feel the same as me, and I'm not a weirdo. So, that's basically how I found out I was bisexual and non binary

I'm like TheSunnySideOfThings. I love being a girl but I hate dressing up. And I'd rather go play street basketball or spend the day at the pool then go shopping for makeup.

Oh, dude. I think the first sign was that (this is a bit wierd) I had a neighborhood boy who would miss me on the lips nonstop. I felt nothing. Like, no shit, I just liked being kissed. But there was also The one girl that I really was into, But I was like.
"GEE, WHAT A GREAT FRIEND HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
but I had a crush on her. Pretty soon I moved and I still REALLY miss her.

*oh gosh*

So before I came out as lesbian I was out as bisexual and before I was out as bisexual I had this friend. We had literally been friends since third grade, and I always had been so drawn to her. One night in December 2019 she invited me over for a sleepover. When it was time to go to sleep, we didn't have the time to make a blanket fort like we always did so we slept in her bed. Her bed I swear was so so small so we had to get really close, and believe me when I tell you I was sweating. I was sweating in winter in her room with no heater. My everything went into overload and I couldn't think straight in many ways. My heart was beating so fast I couldn't sleep. I was so confused and didn't know this feeling was so I just slept it off and tried to forget about it. A few days later at school that same friend was waiting to get out of class and I was just sort of pulled to her. I don't know how but my brain was practically singing "kiss the girl". And so I walked to her and the feeling got stronger, and stronger, and I was saved by the bell. (And at this time I had a boyfriend.) So I went home and I was on my phone and couldn't stop thinking about it. I knew I loved my boyfriend, but I was starting to think that I might like girls too. I don't remember if I already knew what being bi was or if I had to research it but either way I came to the conclusion that I was bi and was completely cool with it. Like I don't know how I was just learning all this information about myself and I was 100% calm 😅

Wow. How early you all realized. 🙈 I think I only really thought about it when I was at university. Looking back, the signs have basically always been there but I never realized it wasn't "normal" to like both men and women. I just assumed everyone was basically bisexual and most people would just lean more one way than the other. I didn't know most people don't experiment... And even after realizing that that's what made me so different from most people it took me another four years to figure out I just don't care about someone's gender and that's why I never noticed. I mean, yes, I grew up as a boy and I only had girlfriends and all that but that was mostly an issue of who likes me.

So, long story short: I'm pansexual and panromantic, I don't really care about my own gender either, I'm ok with being identified as a guy and the use of he/him, I wouldn't mind being identified as a girl either but I guess with my beard that's not going to happen a lot. Sometimes I do have days where I wish I had a different body but most of the time I'm ok with myself. I don't know what gender that is but I'm also not very anxious to figure it out. Anything else you wanna know, just ask. 😉

I figured it out when I was about ten. I had a friend That was going through a lot, and she p confided in me. I would hug her, I would sit with her, and she would Pay her head on my shoylder. And no matter how hard I tried, My heart cluttered when she did. It was a big realisation, and I was a bit scared, but It's been some time, and I'm more open about it now! I am a proud lesbain, And no-one is going to change that. 🌈
