To the girl that wanted to come out as bi, just thought I’d share my experience. I’m almost 17 and I came out to my mum last summer. She still doesn’t believe me. She isn’t biphobic, she just doesn’t think I can know until I’ve started dating, even though I’ve known since I was about 11. My point is even if she takes it well get ready for a lot of judging, and ‘are you sure’ and ‘it’s just your hormones’. It can be hard to convince people literally right up until you come home with a girlfriend.

So true. This is extremely common. People have a hard time understanding the fluidity of sexuality when it’s been branded into our heads that it HAS to be one or the other. No “in between”.

That’s why I don’t even like the term “bisexual”. People fall in love with people. It has nothing to do with gender. I feel like it’s easier to understand when you think about it in those terms.

Thanks for sharing!
