Exploring sexuality and gender identity

Exploring your sexuality and what your gender means to you is an exciting part of growing up and figuring out who you are.

However, when your sexuality or gender is something other than what you expected, it can be tricky for you to fully accept this ‘new’ version of you. You might worry about what people close to you will think, or how this new version of you will play out in the world.

But the thing is, this has always been you.

You have always been this way – and that’s brilliant. There is never anything wrong with getting to know deeper layers of yourself and to understand yourself more.

Sexuality isn’t new – different variations of sexuality have existed since the beginning of time. They’re a normal part of what it means to be human.

Learning to not only accept yourself, but to also be proud of who you are is one of the bravest, most rewarding things you can do.
