on an aspie forum, about sexual identity

i am very much a tomboy AND a flaming heterosexual, and have described myself as both many times. i started a "tomboy club" in 4th grade, and have always been more comfortable in jeans than anything else. several people have questioned my sexuality, wondering if i might be a lesbian, or bi-sexual, but honestly, i don't feel any particular attraction to women. i don't think i'm repressing anything. i REALLY like men, but i'm not a typical woman, and i tend not to be comfortable around women my own age. i feel a certain kinship with gay men, for whatever reason--that "difference" thing, i imagine, but maybe there's more to it than that. in any case, i sure as shootin' don't want any parents to worry about their aspie kid's sexual identity, because i believe my goal should ALWAYS be to work towards acceptance of all "different" kids. we need to work to stop the bullying, the hate crimes, and the suicides. when a child suffers because of someone's judgmental labeling, we all suffer.
