Where do you come from, and where you wanna go this time?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Seriously though, first I found out I was interested in men (thought I was bi at first), that made me start seeing more lgbtq-related stuff. One day I found someone saying they were "questioning their gender" and I was like, "what is that supposed to mean?" So I looked it up.
A few weeks and an existential crisis later, I finally figured out I'm a woman.
Later on I realized the feelings I've always had for women weren't really attraction. but envy and admiration. (And yes, I know those are not mutually exclusive.) So everyone assumed I was a man attracted to women, but in reality I'm a woman attracted to men. I did a full 180 and yet, I'm still straight. Ain't that something
Where'd you come from where'd you go where'd you come from cotton eyed joe
Now I have two songs stuck in my head.
By the way, how'd you get your pronouns to show up next to your username like that?
Added it to my display name. It's not a special flair. You should be able to go into settings on the site and click on profile and change it there.
It works! Thanks man
