Why are so many people confused about their sexuality?

It's trendy now to be "confused" about your sexuality. Too many young people have bought into the bilge that is being put out by the transgender crowd. You never heard of anybody being "confused" about their "sexuality" 50 years ago. They actually knew what they were. Now, it seems every teenager is "confused" and doesn't know what to "self-identify" as, because gender is just a "social construct." And they actually believe they can be whatever sex they "feel" like at the moment.

Remember we live in a world that's dominated by heterosexuality and about 90%-95% of the world's population is heterosexual. Plus penis, vagina, makes sense that they fit together. Pretty basic thinking.

But we are also flooded with heterosexual images not on TV and movies, but out there were you see a husband and wife with kids, man on a date with a woman, and so forth.

But with all these images, you have certain expectations in the heterosexual world, and all of a sudden you are aroused by homosexuality, where you become a man who loves a man, a woman who loves a woman, or will take either.

Growing up believing to be hetero, then you develop feelings for homosexuality which of course then confusion sets in.

You must have felt the same way when you found out about the Easter bunny.

No, I don't mean the Easter bunny is gay.

Because a majority of people are raised to believe that people who are gay "chose to be gay" and they know they didn't choose it, so they are confused to why they are having feelings for the same gender and not for the opposite gender.

That was my problem. I never once had a crush on a boy, when I was clearly having every symptom of crushing on girls I actually didn't realize it just because I had no thought in my mind that it was physically possible for a girl to only be attracted to girls. I was under the impression that if a girl liked girls that she "chose" to like girls over boys and I clearly did not choose that.

This is what I've been saying, it's not that complex, people are in denial though "Am I gay? I'm a guy and I get turned on by guy on guy porn." YES, you're gay, full stop, no exceptions, PERIOD

Some people just don't know what they like. Your hormones can make you feel one thing but then at other time you can feel differently. It's normal for people to go through a confused stage. It just takes time for some people to figure out what they're really into.

I think people have always been confused, and it's only now that they can be more open about it and discuss it freely. I mean, not only has the internet fueled discussion, it's fueled discovery. Do you know how many asexual people have thought they were broken because they didn't want to have sex with anyone?
Adding onto this; there's a large difference between knowing that a label exists and freely applying that label to yourself. If you've identified as one thing all your life, it can be hard discovering that you aren't what you thought you were after all.

You forgot 'If you like neither then you're asexual". Apart from that, it can be difficult for people who like both, but have a preference to one. I had this problem; even at 13 I knew I liked both, but until I was about 17, my crushes were all on males.

That's how I think about it too. BUT...... some people just take a lot longer to get to that point. Heck I was 26 and married when I figured it out. I just couldn't understand why marriage was so sucky. THEN.... I finally got it.

Nope, that sums it up.

Do you like dogs?

It is more complicated than that. There's also pansexuality (which is being attracted to all genders), asexuality (not being sexually attracted to anyone, but they could be romantically attracted to someone), and polysexual (being attracted to some, but not all genders), plus probably other ones.

Teenagers. Puberty. Hormones.

Wrong. There are men with vaginas and women with penises. Pre-op transgender people, my friend.
