I don't know if there's a right label for me and honestly, I don't think it's necessary.
I'm very lucky that my closest social circle is very open, and I only felt the need to out myself to my parents and my three best friends, and it was more an outing to myself.
Also, while I do have some preferences here and there, a person's sex and/or gender is simply not a factor for me when I try to figure out if I'm attracted to someone, so why not just lose labels altogether?
Right? I feel the exact same way. About every word of what you said!! I had a difficult time trying to find a label that actually felt right, since it seemed like you have to choose labels. At least when and where I was/am. It's neat to see someone describe themselves in the same way and to feel 'seen,' so to speak. Yay! Thank you! :)
