haii!! happy national coming out day!! soooo, i've decided that today is the day i finally fully come out and share a little more about who i am! it's something personal to me, and i want to be open about it. ~so here we go!! first, i'm genderfluid. this means that my gender identity can change over time. sometimes i might feel more masculine, feminine, both, neither, or somewhere in between. my gender doesn't always stay the same. second, i'm bisexual. this means that i can feel attraction to more than one gender. it doesn't mean i'm attracted to everyone, or that i have to like different genders in the exact same way. it's just part of how i experience attraction. third and lastly, i'm orchidsexual. this means that i can experience sexual attraction to other people but don't necessarily desire or want it. i hope i've explained this ok- i’ve spent the past three years finding and figuring these things out about myself. and tbh? yeah, it’s been a little rough. between being raised Catholic and with the political views my parents come with…… i’ve been scared before to claim this out of line identity. but slowly, with the encouragement and help from amazing people, i dont feel as afraid anymore to put my preferred pronouns somewhere, or enjoy a queer book or song, or celebrate pride month, which i am really happy to do!! i know this is new info for some people, and you might have questions, which is totally okay! i'm happy to explain what i can. :) you don't have to understand everything immediately, but i do hope you'll respect this part of me and who i am. i'm still the same person i've always been. still gia. ;D these are just parts of myself that i feel ready to share. i've spent lots of time understanding myself, and i want to be able to express who i am without feeling like i have to hide it. whether you've known me for a while or we're just getting to know each other, i hope this helps you understand me a little better. and even if you don’t agree with or support me, i hope we can still get along the same. <33 please be respectful and patient with me and with others who are figuring themselves out, too. this is me, and i'm proud to be me. happy coming out day!! ^^ love you <3 alright, im gonna post this before i decide not to lol spam _pride_ in the comments!! >:D
