    I was about six when i realized i liked girls but it wasn't until i was about eleven that i understood that i was lesbian, i was completely into my best friend (who i now know is bi) i kept it a secret but now i'm sixteen i'm starting to accept the fact i'm lesbian despite the prejudice my mum and others give me.

    I ignored it completely until I was around 16 or younger. But I knew I liked boys when I was seven, I just didn't understand how at the time.

    It dawned on me on my way to middle school, years ago. So, I was around 10, at the oldest.

    Seventeen. I was incredibly ignorant of myself. When the thought first popped into my head that I mat be bisexual, it hit me like a f***ing train.

    I honestly didn't even realize that I was gay until my freshman year of college. I was 18 at the time. Then, once I realized some of my earlier behaviors made since and I realized that I had crushes on some girls. I felt really stupid for not realizing it sooner.

    I knew my feelings at a young age, but I didn't start doing something until I was 16.

    I'm very new to being Gender fluidy... Literally, I'd been having panic attacks because of my body for ages, but I'd put it down to wanting to be androgynous and skinny... But like, two weeks ago, I looked in the mirror and thought
    "shit- I'm a boy"
    And it's kind of been a roller coaster since then.

    I think I was 14 when I was first introduced to the thought that I might be a lesbian but looking back on it, I've always preferred girls. Picking a female avatar in games was probably pretty normal for most girls but I remember thinking 'this one's the prettiest' when choosing them. Also that I used to think the barmaid on Tappers (I'm sure there was one big-busted woman in the game but maybe it's my imagination) was pretty good-looking. But I knew for sure when I developed very strong feelings for a girl online when I was around 15.

    My first crush was in kindergarten. I had a dream about a boy in my class, that we were playing tag, but if you got tagged someone had to kiss you. He ran up and kissed me. It freaked me out then, but I wasn't ashamed of it. I realized that I should call myself gay when I was in 7th grade. I think I was about 11.

    I've been attracted to girls all my life. I can still remember I kissed a girl on the cheek when I was 8 because I thought she was pretty. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: But I was 11 when I first actually thought, "wow, I think I like girls," and around 12 when I figured out I was panromantic and gynosexual (attracted to women).

    I figured out I was trans* around the time I hit puberty, because I remember not...well, feeling female. I can also remember looking in the mirror often and being hit with a wave of gender dysphoria (oh, fun). I was also around 12 then.

    I noticed that I liked boys at the age of 6-7, didn't really think about it until I was about 10-11, finally accepted that I was bi at 15, and realized that I stopped liking girls at around 21...

    I really figured it out when I was 17, still in senior year of high school. But I kinda knew a long time before then. I just wouldn't accept it.

    Well I started to wear boys t-shirts (usually my brothers old ones) when i was like 7
    I have refused to wear skirts and dresses since i was old enough to pick what to wear 4?
    I think i was like 10 the first time I heard the word gay/ knew what it meant and I thought "I'm gay" because I like men
    I only knew about transgender like last year thanks to tv programs
    so somewhere between 4 and 17 :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
