Alex Erin

Alex’s favorite holiday destination is Hawaii and his favorite food is Pizza & Pesto.

Right from his childhood, Alex could neither accept the fact that he is a girl nor could he behave like one. He had a tough time growing up with a confused state of mind. While he was studying in his elementary school, Alex knew he was different, but could not figure out what exactly his problem was.

Alex was tagged as a tomboy by his friends and schoolmates as he loved dressing up like a boy. He was not a likable child, for people thought he was weird in many ways. When he was in his first grade, he had a crush on a girl who was in her late teens. Alex even thought of jumping off a cliff just to impress her! Though he was interested in girls, he wasn’t aware of his sexuality, until he started attending his middle school.

When Alex developed a sense of fashion, he realized that he had a natural inclination towards apparel and accessories meant for boys. Unlike other teenage girls, he did not like wearing makeup and was not interested in doing other things that a teenage girl would enjoy doing. He was then completely convinced that he was not heterosexual.

Initially, he thought that he was bisexual and tried dressing up like a girl with the help of his sister. Unfortunately, it did not help as his confusion regarding his sexuality continued to linger on. He also developed a few body image issues as he started developing breasts at the time of his puberty. He hated that phase of his life and was deeply disturbed by it. This eventually led to anxiety and Alex secluded himself from the world around him.

Things got better in his high school freshman year. By then, he had started dressing up like a boy and felt more comfortable. Though his body image issues were beginning to fade off, he was still unaware of his sexuality. To know more about himself, he started dating both the genders with little success.
