I am a Lesbian
from The Current Podcast Hosted by Maria Fefelova
In this episode, perfectly aligned with the Lesbian Visibility Week, I share my journey of self-discovery and understanding my identity as a lesbian. I reflect on my early-age crushes and first dates, briefly discussing my relationships with boys in middle school and high school and the confusion I felt about my attraction to them, since it always felt like I am playing a competition game (and that apparently other girls actually DO feel things for boys). I explore the societal pressure to have a boyfriend and the realisation that I didn't actually like boys in that way. I recount all the experiences ranging from dealing with a stalker in high school to embracing my bisexuality and eventually identifying as a lesbian. I talk about my first intense adult lesbian love, how equally intense the breakup was, then later jumping straight into a second relationship, all while drawing a parallel to how I saw and treated men vs women in my life (sorry in advance, boys, i was clueless). Join me with a drink of your choice, reflecting on the lessons I learned and the challenges I faced while figuring out my sexuality and relationships.
