(Replay: Ep. 2) Ep: #146: How Do I Know If I'm Really Gay? And What If I'm Wrong?

Some of us went a lifetime having ‘no clue’ we were attracted to women until much later in life. Others, on the other hand, always knew they ‘liked girls’, but stuffed it down, way down. Internal homophobia, deep-seeded homophobic denial, and compulsory-heteronormativity all played a huge role in delaying, and denying, our journey to discovering and embracing our true selves. One thing we late-bloomers know for sure is, if we were straight, we sure as heck wouldn’t be asking ourselves if we weren’t! But don’t take our word for it, keep listening to the Coming Out Late Podcast and hear the similarities in our stories.In this episode, you will learn about…How Robin figured out she’s gay, (using her unique ‘research technique’) How many of us get to the point of: “Ok. Enough is enough already. I have to figure this out! Why am I feeling this way toward women? ”“So this IS a ‘thing’. It isn’t just me.” Robin’s theory on her own deep homophobic denial A few podcasts and books specifically for women questioning their sexualityLinks to resources:SUPPORT GROUPS:MESSY MIDDLE MONDAYS: EVERY Monday, 75 mins; 8pm EST, Zoom, $5 pp each week via Buy Me A Coffee.

You’ll also hear how the other folx relate to their own head of hair, recalling past experiences as well as current day reflections.You’ll hear the group members discuss topics such as:“...Cutting my hair shorter and shorter was a reclaiming of myself; a claiming of myself.”Hair is an essential aspect of our personal identity, self expression, and confidence, and that the right haircut can allow people to showcase their individuality.Going to a salon versus a barber: what’s the difference?“I wanna go by she/they, but a lot of people in my life don’t understand, because I look feminine. My hair has always been long; I love my hair long, and I don’t want to cut it, BUT, I wish my hair looked more like I feel on the inside.”So many of us received negative feedback from the males in our lives when we wanted to cut our hair shorter; so we grew to love our hair long.Feeling dysphoria about our hair from a gender aspect, AND an aging aspect. “I don’t want to dye my hair anymore - I want it to go grey!”Wanna support our “Coming Out Late” podcast?
