Coming Out Late

(Replay: Ep. 2) Ep: #146: How Do I Know If I'm Really Gay? And What If I'm Wrong?


Listen Later

Some of us went a lifetime having ‘no clue’ we were attracted to women until much later in life. Others, on the other hand, always knew they ‘liked girls’, but stuffed it down, way down. Internal homophobia, deep-seeded homophobic denial, and compulsory-heteronormativity all played a huge role in delaying, and denying, our journey to discovering and embracing our true selves. One thing we late-bloomers know for sure is, if we were straight, we sure as heck wouldn’t be asking ourselves if we weren’t! But don’t take our word for it, keep listening to the Coming Out Late Podcast and hear the similarities in our stories.

In this episode, you will learn about…

How Robin figured out she’s gay, (using her unique ‘research technique’) 

How many of us get to the point of: “Ok. Enough is enough already. I have to figure this out! Why am I feeling this way toward women? ”

“So this IS a ‘thing’. It isn’t just me.” 

Robin’s theory on her own deep homophobic denial 

A few podcasts and books specifically for women questioning their sexuality
