I am a gray-asexual, bisexual genderqueer female (she/her) who has only ever been with men with the exception of experimenting with a childhood friend as children do when left free of “thou shalt not”s. (My parents were the “you can come to us about anything” type. “We may yell, but we’ll never turn you away.”) I realized as an adult that I dearly loved that best friend but didn’t know bisexuality existed at the time, and since I definitely liked boys I thought she was just *that* friend. 1/2
