Just read the article. Not that I am a lesbian, nor a CIS woman, but I found it interesting. Is there any scientific/social research for this? I knew what I was and what I was not when I was a child, but social and parental pressure made me suppress it heavily until it exploded; still it took forever for it to come out and for me to resign myself to it.

It would be interesting to read a more thorough article about the subject. Apologies for intruding.

I have to find the article, but I read one showing that lesbian women have more difficulties affirming themselves as lesbian, the same way autistic women have more difficulties showing they are autistic, both because of the societal pressure that want women to fit way more in the norm than for men

Thank you. If you ever find the article and remember about it, please send it to me. I really am interested. :)
