I won't forget when Peter Pan came to my house, took my hand
I said I was a boy; I'm glad he didn't check.
I learned to fly, I learned to fight
I lived a whole life in one night
We saved each other's lives out on the pirate's deck.
And I remember that night
When I'm leaving a late night with some friends
And I hear somebody tell me it's not safe, someone should help me
I need to find a nice man to walk me home.
When I was a boy, I scared the pants off of my mom,
Climbed what I could climb upon
And I don't know how I survived,
I guess I knew the tricks that all boys knew.
And you can walk me home, but I was a boy, too.

I was a kid that you would like, just a small boy on her bike
Riding topless, yeah, I never cared who saw.
My neighbor come outside to say, "Get your shirt,"
I said "No way, it's the last time I'm not breaking any law."
And now I'm in a clothing store, and the sign says less is more
More that's tight means more to see, more for them, not more for me
That can't help me climb a tree in ten seconds flat

When I was a boy, see that picture? That was me
Grass-stained shirt and dusty knees
And I know things have gotta change,
They got pills to sell, they've got implants to put in, they've got implants to remove
But I am not forgetting
That I was a boy too

And like the woods where I would creep, it's a secret I can keep
Except when I'm tired, except when I'm being caught off guard
I've had a lonesome awful day, the conversation finds its way
To catching fire-flies out in the backyard.
And I tell the man I'm with about the other life I lived
And I say now you're top gun, I have lost and you have won
And he says, "Oh no, no, can't you see
When I was a girl, my mom and I we always talked
And I picked flowers everywhere that I walked.
And I could always cry, now even when I'm alone I seldom do
And I have lost some kindness
But I was a girl too.
And you were just like me, and I was just like you.

Dar Williams, "When I Was a Boy"

By the way, liking the Indigo Girls isn't enough to make you a lesbian. If, however, Dar Williams, Ani Difranco, and Emmylou Harris are all on your frequent play list as well, there may be reason to start asking yourself some serious questions.

It never ceases to amaze me just how much you bring to this community Gilda. Thank you for always sharing so candidly.

As to the topic, I'm bisexual and have acted on it in the past and enjoyed the experiences with women. I enjoy sex with my husband now just as much though. I'm a 4 on the Kinsey scale.

For some women, I think they tend to go through the curious phase, we seem wired to question our sexuality a little more than men *seem* to be. I'm glad to see people opening themselves up to a discussion within themselves about their sexuality. I think, in general, at least where I live, people are becoming a lot more honest and forthcoming about same sex attraction.
