Also correlation doesn't equal causation.
>>How the fuck was it confusing? As soon as I could feel any sort of attraction to others it was always guys and never girlsWasn't that way for me. I was always a bit on the girly side, grew up moderately religious, just enough to become a bit homophobic as a teenager, which created a problem, so I rejected my own attraction to not end up in hell, which I thought was a real place at the time, even though I was attracted to men, even older men. So I questioned my gender. I wasn't sure I was meant to be a man, since I had somewhat the demeanor and the sexual attraction of a woman, also being gay was a no-no cause imaginary skydaddy. But the Bible didn't really say anything about
becoming a female.
And I was also having zoophilic tendencies, which made things just 10 times more confusing.
I eventually untangled it all, being a girly male is ok. God's fictional, so being gay is also ok (this took me until I was about 17-18 to process, and about until 24 to completely get rid of lingering "what if I'm wrong" fear). I don't need to be a female, not missing out on much. And most of my zoophilic desires were pleased by being a furry, though I have embraced it to a degree, I'm fairly certain I'm not imposing myself or being a bother so there's no harm in it.
Thank fuck Tumblr wasn't a thing back then. By the time I joined tumblr I embraced my masculinity.
