'Bisexuality isn’t a phase or a confusion or a burden. It’s a legitimate experience and identity. And any outside disbelief or internalized imposter syndrome that comes up for us likely isn’t the fault of bisexuality itself.' -fyeahmfabello
My best friend and I were on the bus coming home from school in the seventh grade, and we were almost at our stop. For the entire ride, she had been avoiding telling me the name of her new crush, who had been leaving her“I need to tell you something first,” she said, avoiding my eyes. “I’m“Okay,” I said slowly, elongating the second vowel. I had never heard that word before. “What does that mean?”
In the fifth grade, when a friend of mine sneered that I was gay as an insult, I thought maybe I had landed on a name for what I felt. But I went home and asked my dad what that meant, and it still didn’t fit. I wasn’t straight like I was supposed to be, but damn it, I wasn’t this countercultural “gay” thing either.
. I was very comfortable identifying as bisexual then. I had crushes galore, and gender felt irrelevant to my attractions. I also helped start the Gay/Straight Alliance at my high school. Sure, people mistook me for a lesbian and hurled associated slurs at me, but I felt solid in my bisexuality.
