Pride’s over everyone! It’s now illegal to be gay again.

The first time I actively remember hearing about someone being transgender was when Kaitlin Jenner came out and did an interview about it. Interviewer asked if her being trans and attracted to women meant she was gay and I remember her saying no and I got really confused after that. I was super fascinated by the idea of changing ones gender but at the time I kind of decided that the topic was too complicated for me to investigate further.

I found it difficult to disconnect the sexuality vs gender aspect at the time, I found it weird that an afab would transition if they’re attracted to men, wouldn’t they only make it harder for themselves to find a man to date? Bad straight-normative thinking on my part and I’m glad I grew out of it.

Funnily enough 2 of my childhood friends are transmen who came out and transitioned after I lost contact because we went to different schools. Would have be interesting to share experiences with them when I was younger, maybe I’d have figured out my own identity sooner.

It doesn’t really matter though, I see lots of people on here who are transitioning or transitioned later in life and even though it might be a bit more difficult because we’ve been through puberty already, I’m sure we’ll all end up fine :)

Caitlyn Jenner didn't solely keep me in the closet, but I feel like she contributed to it.
I remember cringing whenever I would hear my family talk about it, or see them watching her on KUWTK and not wanting to be associated with it.

So do cishets, many of them are confused and doggedly follow this "logic"! Always funny to see em do it. "but you'll never find gf now!" as if cool lesbians simply do not exist... cisgender cowardice bridget-pride-stay-mad

Yeah now I’ve realised that gay relationships are superior and that straight cis people are weird for not choosing to become gay
