Re: When and How Did You Realize You Were Queer
I'd considered myself mildly fluid for a good while, maybe since I was fifteen or sixteen after having a sort of erotic experience with a friend that I had. I also used to read a lot of radfem lesbian lit when I was around that age. But on the whole I considered myself to be not really significantly everything, everyone thinks other people are pretty sometimes etc. Also usually the only pleasant erotic dreams I would have would be about women, which was a confusing thing to wake up to. I didn't feel like a lesbian, because boys are pretty, but there really were a lot of those oddly pleasant dreams :P
I always end up dating and crushing on very effeminate men, super masculine men just don't do it for me.
Then this Christmas break I was beta-ing this REALLY HOT femslash piece for a friend and I hadn't really told her my sexuality because at that point my feelings about its ambiguity were like several billion paragraphs long. I ended up apologizing for finding her femslash extremely hot because I said I felt bad for objectifying the female form, not wanting to appropriate the struggles of queer women by merely looking at them as sex objects, as I was not sure if I was "queer enough" to be allowed to enjoy her porn without guilt.
And then I stepped away from that statement and was like. . .wat.
And she was like. . .wat. And also "I'm glad you love my porn."
And thus I had a think and determined that I might want to consider myself as queer after all.
