Yesterday, I spent my time in the library with some friends. Each of them explained what they identified as. One demisexual and another, bi. Then, they turned to me and asked what I identify as. I told them what I always knew I was. "Straight. Just an ally."
Because I really don't feel any kind of attraction to fellow women and have only ever been attracted to men. I also stay true to my biological pronouns: She/Her. (Although my country doesn't really use pronouns with our native tongue.)
But then, they deadpanned, "Nobody's straight at 2k19." ..... Sooo I rethought about it... Earlier that same day, when I tried explaining myself to some classmates (since we're a very supportive Catholic private school anyway), one of them suggested that based on my description, maybe I'm an "androgynous." I didn't know what that was, but that's what I answered to my library friends and they understood immediately.
I only found out what androgynous means after researching and now, I'm here to confirm that: Yes. I am Androgynous. At least not completely 50/50 percent masculine or feminine. Though I'm still figuring myself out.
But I really DO like the idea of dressing up as both a girl and sometimes... a boy. Or either and neither! At some fancy occasions, I remember looking longingly at males and silently wishing to wear a tux myself without being discriminated for it and at some days, I feel wonderful wearing a frilly dress with satin ribbons and flower prints. Both make me feel happy and valid and... I like that.
I hope that clarifies Me and I hope I didn't offend anyone with this. I just wrote this so I could explain myself to some friends.
I don't know what to call this. Awakening? Out of the closet? Ehhh... It doesn't feel that grand, but at the same time, it feels like a weight is off my shoulders explaining this.
It may seem too fast to you guys, but not for me. I've been feeling this way for a very long time now and I've been troubled for so long. I only just found the name for it recently, but I have never resonated to anything more.
So, with love-of-every-flavor,
