Re: "Bisexual Erasure"

Or just part of figuring out who you are.

I dated guys through my first two years of college because at that time, in the environment I was raised in, girls grew up and fell in love with guys and got married. That was the narrative. No one really talked about sexual desire except in vague, clinical terms in sex ed, so - love is like liking, right? I liked my guy friends fine, so clearly there was no reason to say no when they asked me out, and if I was put off when they kissed me, and still put off when I slept with them, that was something wrong with me, right?

Realizing that my disinterest in guys, and my very definite interest in women, was something that other people felt too was a fucking life-changing revelation. The fact that I was sheltered growing up in ye olde pre-internet days and did the "normal" thing because that's just what you did doesn't make me any less a big ol' lesbian.
