Made It Out · How Queerness Makes You Question Everything w/ Zoe Branch · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

And there's just like a there there that I sensed about her and that I remember I wanted her to sense it about me.

And I didn't even know, of course, what it really was.

Like she was probably the first gay person, the first gay woman I had ever met.

And I remember I was such a tomboy and I was always wearing my brother's clothes.

But on this day that I met her, I was wearing this little green skirt that was very like fairy-ish and

And I remember feeling like, I'm upset that I'm wearing this because I feel like if I was wearing my normal clothes, she would be able to recognize me.

But because of what I'm wearing, I feel like she maybe can't tell.

And this is all rushed back to me when I was like 23 and I met this butch lesbian who was older who reminded me so much of my dad's cousin.

And I was like, oh, like it just like felt like all these pieces kind of clicked into place that I had been kind of like denying or feeling like I wasn't necessarily allowed to claim.

And I was like, oh, I actually think this is,

a big part of me and maybe always has been.

And I've just been like on my long roundabout journey as we all go on in order to kind of like figure out what this even is.

But it was really helpful to have that memory come back from my childhood when it was like, oh, this was not about, you know, like trying to like perform something or trying to,

I don't know, like be interesting or something, you know, like I always worried when I was a teenager, I was like, oh, am I just kind of like trying on identities?

And this is like one of the identities I'm trying on.

But when I had that remembering from my childhood, I was like, oh my God, like I didn't even know what that was at that time.

But now I'm able to recognize what that is, which is just like, I saw my aunt Lisa basically and like,

knew she was queer.

And a part of me knew that the part of me was similar to her and I didn't know what it was, but I wanted her to be able to see it in me.

Yes.
