I was raised in a Catholic home and was constantly made fun of in the catholic school I went to for being feminine. I’ve had crushes on both boys and girls since I was kid, but would never recognize them. I would deny that I had those feelings and I’d push them down. Now I have a wonderful partner (who is gender-fluid) who has helped me recognize these feelings and at least begin to try and accept them. I’ve been trying really hard to understand my feelings and accept them as part of who I am, but it’s really hard and I have no idea how. I know they’re sincere and legitimate, I just denied and pushed them down for so long, now I don’t know how to embrace them. I’m pansexual and I don’t even know even know how to accept that part of my identity. If anyone has any advice I would really really appreciate it because I’m done denying who I am. Thanks
