(Note Hi everybody : So I wrote this years ago, and decided to expand on it, and post here so you’ll know where I stand at the moment, also keep a lok out for asexuality what it means to me, and what trans pride should be both coming out today)
It means holding my first girlfriend’s hand in the locker room setting on the bench inside right before gym class during my middle school years
It means the stares that I’d gave to my elemntary school crush that he’d never even notice because I stared at everyone back then
It means the smiles I’d see from that girl in my creative writing class that warmed my heart a little more with each passing meeting
Nothing but little playful jokes and my own social awkwardness to sort of go off of in any of those situations
It means seeing a two people of the same sex on screen who like each other and squeeing with delight as they come together happily (but being happy still if it’s a healthy straight relationship)
It’s wearing my shirt with the words both 3 times over that shows my romantic orientation in the most subtle of ways
It’s knowing who I am without needing anyone else’s belief or confirmation of anyone else first
It’s wondering why my so-called friends couldn’t be more supportive of me when I came out
It’s finally starting to feel comfterble in my own skin again after 3 years of feeling off about everything
It’s understanding and loving who I am not in spite of my biromanticsm but in part because of it
Loving the way that I am and loving who facing these challenges and caring about these people in such a way has made me
It’s something I didn’t understand at first but something once I learned to understand I never wanted to forget
It’s a part of me and it means the world to me that I can say all this finnaly feeling like who I am and being honest with myself and others about it just feels right
It’s knowing that bi means 2 or more and that we’re not transphobic
It’s not being ashamed or bullied into silence by the majority for any bs reason they can make up
