@BI-WRITING's Interview

What do you identify as (gender, sexuality, romatic etc, etc)?: 

I identify as a bisexual women/demigirl And I'm panromantic

Do you mind explaining what those terms mean for those in our audience who might not understand?: 

Okay, well I identify as bisexual because I'm attracted to both men and women yet that's just my sexual preference. My romantic preference is different in which I don't look at someone's gender when it comes to love. Pan - meaning all genders attraction. So, romantically I love all sorts of people. My gender is still something I'm questioning, at the moment, but I'm pretty sure I'm a demigirl. This means I am biologically a girl and feel like one, but sometimes I don't feel 100%. It doesn't mean I feel like a man, I just don't identify with a gender at times. Mostly, I feel like a girl but I really don't mind they pronouns. But yeah, that's basically who I am.

Did/do you ever struggle with accepting yourself? If yes, why?: 

Ooh, well that's very long story and kind of sad so I won't go into all the details. But I thought I was gay back in sixth grade because I was questioning it. I didn't like the idea and everywhere I went everyone was saying that being gay was bad. I thought that liking girls was "unnatural" so I pushed my feelings about girls to the side and tried to focus on liking boys. Around this time last year, I came to terms that I was actually bisexual since I've learned what bisexual meant and why being part of the LGBT community is okay. But weirdly enough, my sexuality changed a bit and I started having more feelings for girls than boys. I thought I was gay again and I just accepted being bi but not a lesbian. So, I had to get help because I was so depressed because of it. Through a month and half process. I learned to accept being gay. Then, after a while, I started developing for boys again. I know this is confusing, but sexuality can be very fluid. Since then, I came to learn and accept who I was and made some LGBT friends along the way. I embraced that I liked both boys and girls and found out about being a demigirl which I started identifying myself with.

Have you come out of the closet to your family? If so, how did they react?: 

My family was very accepting. The first person I came out to was my sister since we are pretty close. I told her over FaceTime and ended the call by saying "I'm bi, bye!" It was a big deal for me at the time but it's almost been a year since that happened. My mom doubted I was bisexual at first but I'm still here mom lol And my dad was good with it which was a blessing

What advice would you give other member of LGBT who may be closeted or struggling to accept themselves?: 

You love who you love and you can't control that. I think, as being in a minority group, it's hard but the best feeling in the world is to accept yourself. It's a long process but when you get there you'll feel free again. Trust me. Also, whether you're gay, bi, pan, ace, that doesn't define who you are as a person. You as a person > your sexuality is most important. If they're judging you for liking the same sex or liking nobody at all, it's on them and they don't deserve you, you deserve happiness, not negativity.

Thanks to @bi-writing for letting me ask questions about their sexuality and their story. If you want to be next, feel free to drop a comment or a PM and I will get to you as quickly as possible.

Live life, love who you want, and find something to smile about daily.
