i've always felt somewhat different than everyone else growing up, in terms of just...sensibility, or how i'd act or react to things, and especially with who i was attracted to. lots of straight girls, sure, but also this meme (sorry for reddit --> https://www.reddit.com/r/pansexual/comments/nw4fmv/ahh_who_can_relate/). it's good to know there's a real framework behind it and i'm not just some lecherous monster

i already feel this noticeably difference sense of presence, of comfort and ease with myself; just having a label like this makes so many little things click into place that i never even realized were making me feel different or self conscious before. similarly, i thought i might've been trans for a summer, but transitioning felt maybe too drastic or scary and too much of a departure from a body i had some level of peace and experience with.

but yes that's me, typing words. it's a lot to process

I'm very happy for you, and I feel the same way about labels. I know some people deem labels harmful/reductive but whenever I've found a label for myself it has usually given me happiness and understanding. I've got a lot of labels, and before I found them my life was a confusing mess - I didn't match other people's behaviors and I couldn't figure out how it was so effortless for them. Now I know where all the stuff I do comes from and that there are a lot of people like me.
