I don’t know these and still questioning being a MAP but whatever is most applicable to (in terms of average/normal development) around 15/16? I think it’s because I just really like the fairy grunge girlies its not my fault okay…

Personally the only thing that keeps me from staring at people is my fear of nipples… I’m not even attracted to naked people but my brain is like “LOOK. YOU GOTTA LOOK.”

I don’t even know if I’d label myself a MAP, since it’s sort of like, an exception almost. Not something I ever think about for the most part, but my one “partner” (not sure what else to call her) is intra age 14 (We are similar in terms of chrono). It doesn’t effect my attraction to her much, but considering I do see her as such, I suppose I could be a MAP. It’s not something I think about too much, but, it’s there in a way.

That is the most vague dogwhistle I have ever heard… Like I feel like that’s a common phrase outside of MAP or Radqueer??? Or am I tripping myself out?

I love this story. Thank you for sharing. I don’t know if this means anything, but around 13/14, I was pretty active in MAP circles, and while I felt safe and respected, adults in my real circle were entirely heartless in their response. I was a stupid child to them after it and they forced me into isolation from practically everyone! When I read peoples stories about realizing their love wasn’t wrong, I just wish people understood that, so I wouldn’t have ended up alone. You’re so very valid, and I know your openness is really important and valuable. You’re loved.
