3. Do you believe that your sexual identity will change again?
-
Yes - sexual identity is a fluctuous thing and prone to changes.1
-
Maybe - it has in the past.2
-
Maybe - I might not hold all the information yet.24
-
It might get more precise, but not change completely anymore.12
-
I don't know mine yet, so it might reveal itself at some point.3
-
I hope not - this one finally makes sense.27

4. Do you think identifying as a certain sexual orientation at a young age (lets say ≤ 21) makes it more or less likely to change again?
-
More likely - there's so much going on developemntally still.12
-
More likely - the younger you are, the less likely you are to have "all the information" yet.20
-
Neither more, nor less likely.34
-
Less likely - you will automatically grow into what you chose.0
-
Less likely - if it shows that early, you can't really deny it.3
-
-
5. Would you recommend giving yourself a "label" concerning your orientation early on?
-
Yes - you will learn more about it earlier (and might realise even sooner if it doesn't fit after all).9
-
Yes - because finding your place and your "people" is very comforting/validating.10
-
No - you might get "stuck" with something (and have a harder time realising it doesn't fit).6
-
No - you'll be wrong 75% of the time anyway.1
-
Only if you make sure you stay open-minded enough to allow this might change.32
-
Undecided/I don't have an opinion on this.11

My whole live, and then I found out I was wrong.12
