I am a woman entering into my 30s. Since a small kid, I remember growing up among mostly male cousins. So much so that I used to be a tomboy. I grew up among female classmates and have had mostly female friendships. 👩🏼❤️‍🔥🌼[…]

Being a Tomboy or experiencing protective feelings as well as comparisions with other women does not suggest that one is a lesbian or a bisexual. What matters is a clear sexual orientation, of  feeling physical attraction towards the same gender. All the rest is a …
