I remember my first real girl crush. Beautiful, baby-faced. Well, we were both six year old. From then on I began to question who I was, I didn’t hear the word “sexuality” until I went to high school nicknamed hell. I spent four long hiding my social identity due to the terror of not being accepted. I couldn’t handle it. Do you think it is easy putting on a mask every day?

I know this shouldn’t happen, as you should love your child no matter what gender they are attached to, but it’s a step to a bright and happy future.

Though coming out as an open Bisexual, it has inspired me not to hide away anymore. I now fight for LGBT rights in the community in which live. This helping me understand and met new people, because let’s face it a woman’s body is beautiful and you can’t blame me for being attracted to it.

Bisexuals of both binary genders suffer a disregard of their identity from the outside heterosexual world. Females deal with their sexuality being seen not as an identity but as a label that pornography companies throw around as an erotic bonus to anything that needs it. The female bisexual label is entirely normalized. Jenny Kangasvuo (2007) writes: In porn magazines, the term 'bisexuality' serves multiple purposes and it is not pinned…

    Although being a simple idea, accepting nontraditional gender identities results in a beneficial outcome for both parties. There are many ways to show acceptance, most of them merely being common sense. Treating everyone as equals despite their gender is a widespread goal that has existed for more than a hundred years. Respecting and using one’s preferred pronouns may take some practice, but is not a significant challenge. Constantly misgendering someone can cause them anxiety, stress, and even suicidal thoughts.…

That summer was very hectic because of how I grew up, my family 's values, and how I felt about all of it.…
