Well, for me it went like:

Discover fanfiction > Discover slash fanfiction > Read a lot of m/m at first because it was more readily available > Become slightly more comfortable with the idea of a same sex relationship/simultaneously start noticing girls more because I was at that age > Struggle with confusing feeling for a few more years > Finally accept self as a gay woman.

I would have discovered my sexuality eventually anyway. This was just how it happened. Suppose I never read fanfiction, but instead befriended a group of gay dudes. That probably would have led to me questioning myself. Yes, they're guys, but since we're lumped together in the 'gay' category, we'd have that in common.

Sexuality and gender identity kind of crisscross a lot too. For a lot of us, especially during the teen years, it's like a puzzle that we have to figure out and we might try on different identities. Some girls spend their early years wanting to be a boy, and later realize that they are in fact, a gay/bi/queer woman. Some people identify as lesbian, and later come out as trans* guys.

Basically what I'm saying is we all have different experiences and different ways of seeing the world and figuring things out.
