So this happened recently and I bad to rant about it. Sorry if I rant to much in the book, but it's my book so screw it!
( peoples names will only have the first letter, For privacy reasons)

Okay! so I was in my language arts class with one of my good friends, who is proudly part of the LGBTQ+ Community. He identifies as gay and soon to be transgender, which I thought was really cool and I supported him. ( he doesn't use any specific pronouns so I can say him/he) he was so extra and loved to talk about girly stuff or makeup, which I wasnt really into and wasnt understanding much either but whatever.
One day during class, we were talking about our usual nonsense when I let it slip that I identify as demisexual but was still confused about it. I never told anyone at my school about it but He was so happy and started asking me a whole bunch of questions like "does that mean you like girls?" Or "if you have any questions ask me and dont be shy!", I was slightly embarrassed but happy that he supported me. Than some guys in the table next to us overheard and joined into the conversation and one of them asked "what does demisexual mean?" I explained what I knew which was basically that 'someone wont feel something for someone without having a strong emotional connection first'. He understood now and continued talking with the guy in front of him.
Than the guy who sat next to me (we are currently dating btw) said that "sexualitys were just preference and were just labels to make someone feel special" me and J (my gay friend) both looked at him completely offended and we started an argument.
The argument cycle lasted for a good 20 minutes before me and J ultimately decided to just ignore him. And I previously mentioned that I'm currently dating him, so I decided to stop talking to him for like two days as revenge. Eventually he apologized ( In his own way), I forgave him but told him never to say something like that ever again.

~skip to a month and a half later~

Once again I was in my language arts class, talking with J (since that's our only class together) and I thought that I should tell J about something that I've only kind of told to a couple of people (mostly on wattpad) I bluntly asked him what the difference between transgender and nonbinary was and he happily explained it to me. After his explanation he asked me why I was asking and (once again) I bluntly said that I was asking because I might be one of the two but didn't really know for sure since I didn't know the difference. That's when he exploded in happiness, he was asking me even more questions that before like " does that mean you want to get top surgery or wear a binder?" And " is that why you mentioned that you want to cut your hair like a dude" and the one that will live on in infamy "it kinda makes sense since you only wear boys clothes lol" I answered all his questions happily but than he asked me something else " are you gonna tell G (my partner) about it?" I shrugged and told J that I already knew that he wouldn't care. J asked me if he could tell him to see his reaction, I said sure because I didn't care. He told G about it and asked what he thinks, G looked at me and than back at J and said " I dont really care. Shes still biologically a girl so it doesn't matter to me. I'll still like her either way" I was actually surprised that that was what he said and I smiled, J squealed. Its nice that now theres a few more people that know about this, even if they probably dont care about it.

~Well that's basically it. I'll be more elaborate about my confusion of my sexuality and identity in another chapter~
