“It’s okay to change. Maybe for a whole year, you thought that you were just bisexual, or maybe you end up coming out as trans—it’s all fluid, it’s never just going to be one thing. If you find a label and you stick to it, that’s perfectly fine, just do what feels right for you…you don’t owe anybody anything.”
