And to a certain extent, still do today.Ĭoming out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community is a journey. Now, at 31, I think back to how anxious I felt back then a masculine-presenting lesbian. People would call me “gay” as a slur, and while I rejected the idea that I could be queer to them, my mind knew I was attracted to girls. At secondary school, I would bunk lessons with them. From the age of three, I played football with my male neighbours and friends.
I have been a tomboy for as long as I can remember.
