This story really resonated with me.

I think I’m more lesbian than bi, I’m like a Kinsey 5, but due to compulsory heterosexualality, I was with my first partner, a man, for nearly 20 years. Everyone thought I was straight and I deluded myself a great deal. I knew I liked women, but a lot of people didn’t believe me because I had never been with one. I mean I was monogamous and faithful, that doesn’t make me straight. Someone who is bi can be mono and that doesn’t make them a mono sexual.

After I first slept with a a woman, one of my queer “friends” shook her head and went on a rant about how she’s done with “trying to convert bi-curious straight women.” She also liked telling me how I’m “not a lesbian”. Fucks oh her, I’m way more into women than men.
