!!! Slight TW, sensitive topics !!! This is 90% my true story, minus the actual names. I hope you like it! Madeleine: 4-9/She,Her/Straight She’s never heard of the LGBTQ+ Community. She’s lived in the US most of her life, but when she’s four, her parents move with her to Germany. Goes to kindergarten when she’s five, gets picked on for some reason. In elementary School, she meets a girl in her school who has two moms. Madeleine doesn’t understand it, but doesn’t mind it or think very much of it. Maddie: 10/She,Her/Bi Covid hits. She goes to middle school, & reads Meg, Jo, Beth & Amy. Jo comes out as gay, & when Maddie doesn’t understand what “gay” is, she asks her mom, who explains it. Does a lot of research, Starts thinking she’s bi. Maddie: 11/She,Her/Homosexual She comes out to some friends, most of them support, but one of them, Galene, tells Maddie that she’s going to hell. Maddie spirals for several months in her head with moderate anxiety about that. Maddie: 11/She,Her/Lesbian Her parents move to the other side of town. Decides that she’s lesbian, still learns all she can about the Community. has a crush on her friend Leia. Maddie tells her she likes her one day at the swimming pool. The two of them go out for about three weeks, but on a class trip to France, Leia breaks up with her, bc the speculation of the other children at school is too much for her. Maddie: 12/She,Her/Gay Maddie gets glasses, & This is where drama begins. A series of notes written to & from Leia & Maddie forces them to become enemies & despise one another. On a school trip, they become friends again. On the bus ride back home, she gets to know a girl she’s had next to no conversations with, Elaine. Maddie: 12/She,Her/Abrosexual (forgot the Abrosexual flag for this one, my bad!) She starts seventh grade with a new friend group, some new people, some old friends, including Elaine, Galene & two new friends, Ally & Lora. Her new friends are much more friendly towards her, but soon escalate, making fun of one of another. Galene leaves the friend group, & soon, it’s only Elaine, Ally, Lora and Maddie. Maddie also thinks that she had a crush on a boy, & sometimes had the feeling of her sexuality being fluid, so she labeled herself as Abrosexual. Maddie:12/She,Her/Gay Went back to being gay, came out to her cousin and her Grandma. Also comes out to her parents who are very supportive. She also finds out that her aunt & her cousin are also queer! She starts getting panic attacks for various reasons. Her parents don’t realize that something is going on. Mads: 12/She,They/Lesbian/Demigirl Mads starts thinking she’s a demigirl. She tells her online community on scratch. She likes identifying as demigirl, but doesn’t tell anyone else. She & her mom watch ‘Queer Eye’ (Netflix) & she sees her mom crying while they watch it. Her mom tells her that she is scared that people will hurt Mads. Mads wants to tell her that she’s a demigirl, but doesn’t. Being lesbian is one thing, changing your gender is a whole different thing. Maddie: 12/She,they/lesbian Starts wearing A LOT of flannel. Her ex, Leia, & her try being a couple again. it only lasts three days, but the relationship was definitely less toxic than the first time, & afterwards the two of them stay close-ish friends. Mads: 12/She,They/Queer Goes back to Mads. She decides that she’ll go by queer & mainly she/they pronouns, however, in Germany, there isn’t really a way to use they/them pronouns, so they go by she/her in Germany. On scratch she is still a demigirl. She still hasn’t told anyone. Her dad thinks she needs therapy due to a drawing she made that he found. Mads also decides to go by queer, since lesbian & gay don’t fit her anymore in her opinion. Maddie: 12/She,They/Queer Has a crush on two classmates Laura and Evania, but doesn’t know if they are straight or could be into her. Thinks she might be Polyamorous because she’s into them both. Is super excited for pride month! :D Madison: 13/She, They/Demigirl, Polyamorous, Lesbian, Queer I’m not gonna go into detail of what happened, I don’t wanna talk about it. Something with my cousin. Changes name & parts of sexuality, listens to (probably) way too much Jessie Paege & Billie Eilish. Ainsley: 13/She, They/Demigirl, Aromantic, Queer Thinks she has a crush on this other girl, Lydia. But realizes soon she realizes that she doesn’t really have feelings for her. Wonders if she ever had feelings for anyone. Experiments with term aromantic. Still identifies as Demigirl. Ainsley: 13/She, They/Demigirl, Queer, MASSIVELY CONFUSED!!! Cut and curled hair, is confused about sexuality. Aromantic doesn’t fit well anymore ‘cause she does want a relationship with someone, but just never experienced romantic feelings. When she thought she had a crush, it was always for attention. She decides to be less self-conscious. The Description is getting too long, so the story will be continued in the credits:
Ainsley: 13/She, They/Demigirl, Sapphic, Demisexual Queer, Still Confused! Decides that she is somewhat gay, but calls herself sapphic, and needs to have a deeper emotional bond with people before she likes them. (Couldn’t find the Sapphic flag and forgot the Demisexual flag, my bad!) Ainsley: 13/She, They/ Demigirl/ No Label Decides she is somewhat queer but doesn’t label it to take pressure off of herself and be happier. The school year is coming to an end & she’s excited for a 5 week trip to the United States! Ainsley: 13/She, They/Demigirl/ Queer, Sapphic, Gay Just decides on being sapphic for the moment bc she’s most used to it, and doesn’t wanna worry about her sexuality while she’s in the United States. Anne: 13/She, They/Demigirl/Queer, Omnisexual Crushes on Legolas and Eowyn a little in LotR and starts going by Omni with a preference for non-cis men. Is still a demigirl, got her ears pierced in the US. The boys in her class start bothering her about being “gay”, which she still goes by in school, and also about being in the United States. She starts being quieter in school. Really wants a relationship, would probably be a total U-Haul. Anne: 13/She, Her/Gay/Lesbian/Queer Goes back to being a girl after trying out the demigirl gender and deciding it doesn’t fit, and still goes by queer, but also going by lesbian and gay, after realizing that a lot of people in her environment don’t know what queer means. Really wants a frog and to go to an Olivia Rodrigo Concert. Her mom allows neither. Anna: 13/She,her,/queer,pan,idkkkk (wrong pin in the image, lol) Wants to be more aesthetic, cuts hair again and wears elf ears. She‘s doing relatively well, other than her anxiety and worrying about some friends who aren’t doing well. Feels pretty good about herself and her schoolwork is getting better. Starts making videos but only shares them with her sister. Listens to ABBA and Baby Queen. Ally says she might be queer.
