I’ve heard this before, and don’t get it. I mean, sure, I’m a late bloomer, I was about 20 when I figured out my sexuality and even older when I figured out my gender. But people don’t experience attraction before puberty, right? How do they know what groups of people they’ll grow up to be attracted to?

Well, we all have crushes when we were kids, don’t you agree?

  we have not all had crushes as kids, no. there was a very definite point where the flip in my brain switched and i started considering the concept at all, and that point was around the time of puberty.
  
  Until then i was utterly confounded by all the other kids who insisted they were dating each other, especially since they barely even spent any time together lmao.

  I genuinely didn’t think this was the case, but makes sense!
