Gender, sexuality & identity

Hey hey 🥰 It's totally okay to feel that way! Everyone has their own comfort levels and boundaries when it comes to sex. It's important to remember that you don't have to rush into anything or feel pressured to be like everyone else. It's okay to take your time and figure out what feels right for you. If the idea of sex repulses you, that's totally valid. You might find that your feelings change as you get older, or you might not, and that's okay too. The most important thing is to be true to yourself and not let anyone else make you feel bad for your feelings. You are valid and deserving of respect, no matter what 💖
