thoughts on "girls to men"?

I didn’t watch it because of information circling the queer grapevine that channel 4 had been misleading/exploitative of some of the participants, and that it was an insensitive and sensational piece of voyeuristic spin.
There’s an increasing amount of trans representation - some is really beautiful and encouraging, whilst unfortunately much still seeks to make a quick buck on the back of a ‘trans trend’ within media. Because I’m neither looking for basic documentary-esque info or doing a review/research on mainstream media trans narratives, I tend to be picky about what I go in for (Louie Theroux’s documentary ‘Transgender Kids’ was excellent, for example).

Hello! I'm really struggling with my sexuality: am I straight? Am I gay? Bisexual? Just curious? I think I want to try to figure it out, but there is such a stigma associated with "girl on girl experiments" & I also have a super shitty support system (parents are homophobic, friends aren't supportive) Also, if I discover I'm not gay, then what? I also go to church so I'm kind of struggling with my beliefs and everything. I really need some support on how I should approach this!! Thank you!! 💕

Let me just start out by saying that you don’t need to label yourself unless you want to! But that said, I know it can be really helpful to have a label for your sexuality so I completely understand. Do you think you could potentially fall in love with/date another girl? If so, you’re probably bisexual or something close to it! A good place to start exploring your sexuality is reading about it. Autostraddle is really cool for girl-on-girl culture, and tumblr has lots of great resources for this kind of thing too! Since you’re exploring this from a not so supportive environment, make sure you keep yourself safe while exploring. That should be your first priority. Another distinction I’d like to make is that you don’t have to just label yourself as gay or straight! Maybe you’re bi, or pansexual, or any other sexuality. If you’re questioning, chances are you’re not 100% straight. Let yourself take this period of exploration and have fun with it. Be easy on yourself, and do what feels right. Good luck and let me know if you need any more help!
