And like I said it took me years to realize it-- although I tried to own my sexuality from an early age. I remember raging at the double standard, trying to flaunt it, not realizing what I was up against. I was "sex-positive" before there was such a term and discarded it as soon as I realized the real sexual and gendered inequities that existed.


One thing I've always puzzled over is my strong heterosexuality. I think most people are a least a little little bi, but that wasn't the way I leaned. So sorting through so much gendered baggage was difficult because there was so much of male behavior I actively disliked.
