This was very relatable, thank you. I don't know why everyone thinks I'm a lesbian. I used to be "butch" but in my adult life I'm more in the middle. I'm guessing it's because I just wear a lot of flannel and am very into softball/baseball, as well as the being perpetually single thing. Stereotypes are awesome /s.

I also think I would've been caught up in the whole gender transition nonsense if I were just a few years younger and had parents who pressured me to conform to gender roles. I had a lot of shame from not being classically feminine, which I think is part of why I repressed my female crushes. That and just being uncomfortable with how women are sexualized and not wanting to be a part of that.
