It drives me crazy that I am being driven crazy by this, but everyone seems to be so nasty about my percieved sexuality! At school, the juicy debate for years has been whether I am a 'closet dyke' or a 'fesbian' (fake lesbian). I feel ostracized by the gay kids for not being gay enough, and taunted by the general population for not being straight enough. I am an activist and an outspoken member of my school's GSA, have been since sixth grade. I don't feel the need to label my own sexuality; it is fluid along with my gender, and I don't generally talk about my orientation because it is not the whole world's business. But because I have a boyfriend, because I have never been in an actual relationship with a woman, the queer kids sneer at me for being 'one of those trendy bisexuals that will grow out of it in a couple years'. Even though I don't label myself, it kind of really hurts my feelings because I do kind of feel emotionally allied with the lgbt community. How do I stop this kind of talk? What do I need to do to 'prove' myself? It's just frustrating...
People being catty about my sexuality!?
