I've likened it before to finding a vocabulary for a language you sort of spoke but lacked the nuances for.
It wasn't until I understood through peers and self examination that nonbinary didn't equate to androgyny that I could finally say I am a non- binary femme. But I was always a non binary femme.
A Christmas tree is still a tree with or without its adornments.
No one made me that way.
I simply knew how to express a concept that I hadn't fully flushed out yet.
But queer culture didn't put me there.
It empowered me to better articulate my identity.
Just because some people find their sexuality at a different time in their life does not mean that media exposure is responsible for that. It just means they are gaining a level of self awareness that perhaps is helped by that representation, but the fundamental queerness was always there.
No one makes you gay.
No one put the dick in your mouth and told you to suck it.
Unless that's within the contract of your incredibly sexy, consenting relationship.
But otherwise, you cannot be MADE gay. You either dig it or you don't.
