Story #2185

When I came out I was 13. At first I only came out to my best friend. She’s bisexual and uses she/they pronouns so I knew I’d be okay. We both worked on the school newspaper and we were talking about news stories we wanted to write. I said that I want to write a story about gender identity but that my “closeted anxious brain says no.” She had a mini-freakout and asked if she/they pronouns were correct. I told her they/them and later that day I told her I was polysexual! (NB/13/Polysexual)
