Saw people talking about it on trans forums back in the late 00s and how it was a real thing and it freaked me out. Being over a decade into it at this point though I'd argue my sexuality is not different but I just know more details about it. At 16 it's pretty easy to be like "I like girls," paired with internalized homophobia and transphobia then going "I like girls thus I'm only into cis women." Once you take a hammer to some of the foundational parts of your identity it's a lot easier to reexamine some of those broad statements you made as a teen and find that maybe you're a bit more flexible than you thought or sometimes you push a bit too far and find that actually you're still not into guys even if they're easier to hit up because chasers are easy early validation when you're stuck in a dark place.
