Can you really be 'too young' to know you're gay

About 6-7

I think it varies from people to people.

For instance, I was taught that being gay was the epitome of evil long before I was taught what it even was. So I never really thought about it, because I just assumed that it was not an option.

Thinking back on it, I can see many "tells" that were there, like 6 year-old me going out of his way just to look as not-gay as possible. As in, I was actually quite concerned about others thinking I was gay, "even though I am not".

It even got to the point of me rationally picking girls from time to time to crush on. Like, it didn't just happen, I'd think about it and pretend it did. Again, back then I didn't really know being gay was possible (to me), so I guess I was just severely repressed and sort of hiding in the closet from myself as well?


In the end it took me half a decade of soul searching and fighting off suicidal thoughts until I could accept it, too.

I thought I was a lesbian from 9-21. thankfully I grew up and realized that wasn't the case

I think I was 12 when I discovered it.

I say they can't be sure. I'm a transbian, but sexual attraction didn't kick in for me until I was late 14 almost 15 years old. When I was around ten or so I had a hardcore gay voice and was aware of what trans was, and was pretty sure I was trans but I wanted a reason for that not to be true. So since all of my classmates and also my dad always made fun of me and called me a faggot I figured I must have been, so ages 11-14 I thought I was attracted to men. Like I even regularly got stupid girly crushes on my guy friends. Then one day during freshman year of high school me and a female friend were joking around and she sat about on my lap, and something about that moment just did it for me. It was like 'oh, girls are fucking amazing and beautiful and wonderful.' And then I was pretty happy for the rest of the day knowing that thankfully I wasn't really gay, up until I got home and started crying because that meant my desire to be a girl wasn't coming from some type of budding adolescent homosexuality after all.

> start playing with ass at age 12, using "toys" aka everything I can find that has a long, roundish shape
> watch some gay porn with 13
> "I'm not gay" phase kicks in
> start watching trap porn with 15
> i"t's not gay if they act like women and have a feminie benis"
> discover twinks at age 16
> can't decide if gay or not
> at age 17 haven't fapped to hetero porn for about a year
> finally admit that I'm gay
I'm either completly retarded or just didn't want to admit it.

About 10-12
I ended up crushing hard on this popular girl in my class because she had some perky titties. I was like "Damn her titties are amazing I wanna play with them" and I realized I liked girls too.

I went back and forth between being unsure if I was bisexual or gay for literally years, but finally came to the decision that I'm just a lesbian about two years ago.

I always knew that something was up but I did not connect the dots until high school.

I was 22.

Fuck my life.

Please elaborate.

>>7002843
"Gay" refers to males hun, its not the equivalent to "homosexual".

>>7002914
It has both definitions.

>>7002920
So long as we have to be LGBT and not GBT, no.

>>7002914
All lesbians are gay but not all gays are lesbians. So as far as definitions are concerned gay = homosexual. Stop nitpicking at literally nothing.

I knew I was asexual at age eleven or twelve. I don't know how but I just saw it on Wikipedia and it instantly clicked. I'm twenty now and I still consider myself ace.

I just started to accept it at age 23, but I guess that there has been signals all along. I remember picking a backstreet boys poster instead of a soccer poster. I remember playing with my mother's dildo (relax she was a sex ed teacher), I remember fapping to gay porn every once in a while and I remember not being able to have an erection when I laid with girls, several times over several years. But I just accepted it.

>>7002613
I was 14 when i told my friend "oh look! This guy is damn cute!" And my friend was like : eeeer anon, you're gay?
Me: No! I just like this guy.
My Friend: Whatever.

Yes. I'm fucking gay. What the fuck was wrong with me.

>>7003012

Your mom being a sex ed teacher doesn't make that less weird.

>>7003567
Well what I was trying to say is that it was the dildo she used for her classes, it wasnt like a personal dildo or anything, and I put a condom on it anyways

>>7002903
I've dated 7 women in my lifetime and they're not the best. I woke up one day and my attraction to women pretty much just died, went pretty asexual for a few months and then I found myself wanted to be protected and supported for once and men provide that, never met a woman that would.

>>7007597
Oh man you're gonna wake up one day and crave pussy and just be like "wow I'm fucked".

>>7007631
>what are threesomes
I've never really been interested in sex that much either and can fuck anyone and not really feel anything desu senpai

Yes and no.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. The entire notion that someone "can't know they're gay/bi" is biased, because it implies that being known as gay is something dangerous or adult that kids have to approach with caution.
If a kid walks around calling themselves gay and grows up to realise they're straight, who the hell cares? Kids walk around thinking/pretending they're straight only to realise the opposite later all the time.

If a kid says they're gay, take them at their word, because telling them they're too young to know and that they have to think hard about it while acting straight for some undetermined amount of years until they can trust how they feel is just a recipe for regrets and emotional issues.

Personally for me, I knew literally all my life. It was never even a question. I didn't know that how I felt had a name or was rare, I just knew I liked the same sex the same way I knew I liked chocolate. I don't even really understand how someone could NOT know (though of course I acknowledge that it's very common, at least among gay/bi kids).
Unless you grow up with very vocally anti-gay parents and learn from a young age that it's seen as something weird and bad, I feel like being a kid is like the purest age to know how you feel about that shit, before social norms add all this baggage and weirdness to it. I only became confused about shit once I realised it was rare (thus improbable) and weird (thus dangerous), which added all this pressure to the concept.

>>7008295
walking around calling yourself gay IS dangerous, even in very liberal areas

>>7008308

Even if it is, there's a difference between telling a kid "keep that under your hat until you're big enough to beat people up" vs telling a kid "haha, no, your brain is just lying to you, don't trust it!"

>>7008331
"even if it is" it's undeniably dangerous, sis, and you can't deny that
kids do have to approach it with caution the same way many (most) adults do, but without the experience that comes from being an adult

>>7008422

...See previous post, since you didn't address my actual point?

But fine, if you're going to push this point, no, being gay is not automatically dangerous and you have an incredibly limited and sad world view if you think that's the case.

>Making Fiends
I love you, OP. Such a cute show. It's a shame it got cancelled and now Amy Winfrey can't do much with it anymore cause of legal BS.

I think it comes from the fact that gay people are deviations from the default, and it's heavily discouraged to deviate from the norm. So parents often get into denial when they see their kid acting gay at a young age. I know my parents did.

I personally didn't know I was a lesbian until I saw my first yuri anime at the age of 12, and I really hated myself for it, since I was immensely homophobic. I would even fantasize about guys in my early teens, though these fantasy boyfriends always had some kind of feminine aspect, like long hair, hairless bodies, or high pitched voices.
In retrospect, there were a lot of signs.

Apparently all my lesbian friends took the clothes off of their Barbie dolls, and I was no exception. I also just...really liked looking at girls, especially their boobs, and I just didn't think anything of it. I also had intense friendships with other girls in my early childhood, and I was also the stereotypical tomboy playing with cars and video games, and never wearing dresses. I am femmier now, though.

>>7002613
I think you definitely can be too young, but the age varies. And some people will continue to be "confused" about what their sexuality is their whole lives because of their environment or simply because their sexual tastes are hard to pin down.

Personally I had "crushes" with girls in elementary school, but in middle school I hit puberty and realized I was attracted to guys and had zero attraction to females.

>>7008436
His world view is much closer to reality than yours. Being openly gay IS dangerous, even in the civilized world there is a lot of hate and it does kill people. Openly queer people should carry weapons.

>>7007889
It's not the same. The only lesbians willing to do that are 300 pounds with bad fashion taste. Also it just isn't realistic anon, even if you are a cute skinnu girl you can't claim you'd protect me more than a 6 foot muscular male.

>>7002613
>No one says kids are too young to be straight.

This is the sort of thing that a pedophile would say. Let me introduce you to a new concept you may not have heard of before:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent

>The age of consent is the age at which a person is considered to be legally competent to consent to sexual acts, and is thus the minimum age of a person with whom another person is legally permitted to engage in sexual activity. The distinguishing aspect of the age of consent laws is that the person below the minimum age is regarded as the victim, and their sex partner as the offender.

In conclusion, I suggest that you stop thinking about preteen dicks immediately.

>>7009675

You're the weird one if you think all romance is sexual. Do you get mad when watching Gumball or reading Babysitters Club because the kids have crushes? I had crushes at age 8 but it was completely nonsexual.

>>7009675

Having crushes when you're a child =/= adults wanting to fuck children

How does your mind even go there?

>is it possible for children to develop cancer?
>wat r u saying that we should perform medical experiments on children get fucked mengele

>>7008658
Most of the world is not civilized. I'm assuming you're from a first-world country, yes? Your paranoia is on the same level as chicks on tumblr seeing rape behind every corner.

>>7002914
you were born in the latter 90s, weren't you

gay means the same for men and women, but like the phrase trans came to mean something entirely different.

now if you say you're gay, it means you like dick or pussy, just like saying trans means you have to have a gender and identity and what all else.

>>7015325

I don't understand why 'lesbian' is needed in 2016 when 'gay' is perfectly unisex. Maybe fifty years ago it made sense when both sides were segregated and the lgbt rights movement was different, but now it just seems silly.

>>7015411
because identity

how else can I call myself a gay lesbian trans non-binary pseudosexual sexygender Japanese dmab boy with hys/hyr pronouns and my favorite activity is being gay?

if we had a genocide of all millenials, we could solve the problem immediately

>>7015432
To rewrite in English:
>An arrogant, asexual gynoromantic transfeminine AMAB.

>>7008658
>Openly queer people should carry weapons.
Finally somebody who gets it. The problem with all these "rights" marches and peaceful "protests" is that changes are only made AFTER someone gets beaten to death. It's not a win at all. You LOSE because you will inevitably become outnumbered to such an extent that all your "rights" will then disappear.

Rights can't be given. They can only be established through literal fighting.

>>7015411

Because feminists

Was attracted to girls during puberty, gradually lost such feelings during teens-early 20's while just as gradually starting to like dudes. Now im full homo.
