Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

Everyone progresses at different rates. Not everyone gets a lot of dating experience as a teen, and --for some-- it can be quite bad over all.

For sure. I actually rewrote that because my original post included the term "choose," which was obviously inaccurate. I guess I didn't quite get it anyway.
I guess...it's up to them how they want to express how they identify? If anyone has a better way to say that, please let me know.

I'm very sorry I'll use the cliche schrodinger's cat metaphor, but it's the best way I know so far to explain my gender situation.
So my gender is more complicated than just male of female or some other fixed gender in the space of possible genders. It's also not just that it varies depending on the circumstance (fluid gender), but sometimes, there are multiple genders that I am simultaneously (polygender? I don't remember what the word for it is). Even more complicated than that is that of all the genders I could be, sometimes I'm in a "gender superposition" of some of those genders, and I do have some control over how the "superposition" "collapses" to one of those genders. It's weird for me to think about, too, and I don't exactly understand it all yet, but I do, sometimes, have some choice over what specific gender I am a given time. The point is that even if it's not a choice in many cases for many persons, forcing me to choose the gender that someone else want's me to choose when I can choose, is really oppressive.

They may neither have dealt with this scenario in a male on male interaction.
Lots of people who discover their queerness later in life report a feeling of repeating teenage experiences because of the new context. I can personally attest to this to as a recently out person in their 30s.

As I read through the comments here, I realized that Jeph probably wouldn't be the type to have an accidental "because of my sister" comment come out of Clinton's mouth. (That, by the way, is what I was thinking when I mentioned about accidentally "outing" Claire to Elliott.) Clinton is very careful when it comes to his sister, and has shown he can keep the secret.
