Sexuality by Yessica Avila https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21 Do you feel like you have the freedom to explore your sexuality? en-us 2020-11-16 04:34:18 UTC 2025-10-30 13:45:06 UTC hello@padlet.com Yes, I am old enough now to feel free to be myself. As a young person, I didn't even know I had this choice. Or that it was a choice. https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929585468 2020-11-16 22:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929585468 https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929585936 I am currently still trying to figure out my identity in that sense, but when I think about it I experience feelings of fear about how my life might change and all the parts that may move around. I think it is the uncertainty of it all that is scary, but also just wanting experience the process of experimentation]]> 2020-11-16 22:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929585936 https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929585961 I definitely do not feel like I have the freedom to explore my sexuality. I identify as bi, but I have never really dated or "explored" dating womxn. As the oldest daughter, I feel like I have responsibility to have children and get married (to a man). I am not out to my family for fear, but to be honest it's mainly my dad I am scared of "disappointing" him. I also helped raised my four siblings and so I always joke around and say that I was made to be a mom although I have complicit ideas on marriage and kids. I know that I have internalized biphobia but as I've gotten older I have come to not only accept my sexuality, but to also accept that other people's opinions should not and do not matter.]]> 2020-11-16 22:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929585961 Before I felt I didn't have that freedom but after sometime I feel that now I do have that freedom to be able to explore my sexuality. https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929586186 2020-11-16 22:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929586186 yeah, I do https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929586431 2020-11-16 22:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929586431 https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929587036 When I was younger and I had identified as bisexual, my mother did everything she could ( take me to confess, had nuns and priests talk to me, and guilt trip me ) to turn me back to "normal." Although I am now married and have children, I now have the freedom to be honest with him and express my sexuality. I would not like my children to have the same experience I did, therefore my husband and I promised to each other to always be accepting of our girls ]]> 2020-11-16 22:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929587036 for the most part, the only thing that stopped me was my parents finding out but then I came out and https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929587658 2020-11-16 22:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/justyess051/pikfunqqu1hvsu21/wish/929587658
