    Not too long ago, I was eating some ice cream and I was doing a lot of thinking and it dawned upon me, "I like guys. Wow, I'm gay." Not talking about the realization, but like it pops in your mind that you are who you are.

    Yep, particularly when I'm around a lot of straight couples.

    Happened to me when I was in high school, but I really didn't want to believe it. But it did happen.

    It happens occasionally. I have had it happen with other things as well, such as age. Its a weird feeling.

    I'll just have days like "I am so gay" just randomly pop into my mind constantly.

    Indeed.

    Sometimes I forget I'm trans, or that I'm queer. Until someone slips a "she" or fawns over a straight couple. And I realize that I'm not like that, am I? I won't marry probably, and definitely not a woman. And I'm certainly not a woman, but a man.

    So much swimming around in my brain all the time I often lose track till such a 'reality check' happens.

    It's been on my mind constantly. Usually I think it when my friends say something like, "Go flirt with that girl."

    Yes. Sometimes it hits me in the way that you mean. it follows with a sense of looming doom.

    This describes what I was about to say. Sometimes it's easy to forget; I don't spend my entire life thinking about what I am, much like straight/cis people don't.

    But then someone calls me by female pronouns or by my birth name, and I feel like I got smashed in the chest with a sledgehammer.

    Every. Damn. Time.

    Yeah. Walking along and your mind wonders along with your eyes, and you realize you are staring at a woman and wonder how long you've been staring and whether they've noticed. It usually ends with "I'm so damn gay lol"
    Sunglasses are great :grin:

    I actually haven't, but that is likely due to the fact that I have literally made no in real life progress of who I feel I am. I'm still unsure about myself.

    Haven't noticed it anymore as it's who I am. I remember thinking though when growing up that I was looking at boys. When you see straight couples and I am staring at the guy, I was like, I must be gay then!

    With men, it's a secondary attraction - takes me a while of getting to know them/their character to find them attractive. And with women it's more or less instantly. So I'm in English class where there's only heterosexual women and a homosexual man so I can't really join in with the conversation. Like with Star Wars, they all liked Oscar Issac [Po] but I found Carrie Fisher [Princess Leia] attractive. They'd probably laugh at me for the fact I find older women attractive rather than my around own age anyway. Luckily I didn't see the film until after the conversation, so I wasn't asked for my input.

    Anyway, to tie into your question, things like this make me question whether or not I'm homosexual rather than bisexual, but it's probably just the people I'm around and who they're talking about.

    Pops in quite freguently. Sometimes without a reason or whatever.

    I had one quite resently at school.
    We we're doing a critique on each others work. I was standing in the Contrapposto ("one leg bent pose) whils wearing my rainbow coloured alpaca scarf and pointing on someones work saying it's cute.

    In my head I was thinkin "Wow I'm gay"
