šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆMy Experience of LGBTQIA+šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ

šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ Sharing my journey within the LGBTQIA+ community: šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ


Growing up, I realized quite early on that I didnā€™t just like ā€˜boysā€™ like my peers did. But due to not knowing anyone who was gay or queer, or it being something that was known to me, I hid that part of me.


I also always felt that I didnā€™t fit the normal ā€˜femaleā€™ stereotypes. I didnā€™t feel like a girl or a woman, just a person. It was hard to explain, but something that is apparently really common in autistic people.


When I was older, and married, I finally was comfortable enough to be able to express myself and reveal who I really was and how I really felt.


I came out as bisexual in 2020 and enjoyed being out and proud. After a year or so later, I realized that after having non-binary friends, that there was finally an identity that fit how I felt about myself, that I wasnā€™t weird. I was just me.


I looked into different gender identities, and toyed with Demi-girl, but for me, it didnā€™t feel right, and soon learned that non-binary fit me much better.


Itā€™s a weird feeling, I donā€™t feel drawn to either gender at all, I just feel like a bottomless pit of nothingness. I suppose itā€™s hard to explain to someone that hasnā€™t experienced it.


So I decided to come ā€˜outā€™ in my gender, and I also realised pretty soon after that pansexual fit me much better than bisexual, and started identifying that way.


Itā€™s hard. I donā€™t correct people who misgender me, in fear of backlash or confrontation. Which is the hardest. We just want to be accepted and loved, like anyone else.


Please donā€™t forget non-binary people when celebrating pride and being an ally. We need the support, more than anything! šŸ¤šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļøšŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ
