Episode notes
Language and Personality
- Denis' personality shifts with each language: German (formative years), Chinese (early childhood), English (recent years).
- His formal Chinese makes him sound like a middle-aged person, contrasting with his more colloquial English.
Delayed Awareness
- Denis' school environment in China lacked LGBTQ+ visibility, reinforcing heteronormativity.
- This, coupled with a focus on academics and fitting in, delayed his awareness of his own sexual identity.
Small-Town Life
- Denis' time in a small German town further delayed his self-discovery due to its conservative environment.
- He focused on other aspects of his identity, like values and career aspirations, rather than sexuality.
