Discovering Your Sexuality

"Berrisexual" means you're mostly attracted to feminine, androgynous, or nonbinary people. It's different from lesbianism or sapphic sexualities because men can be berrisexual, too! It usually falls under the bisexual umbrella of being attracted to more than one gender, and it specifies that those genders are typically feminine or androgynous rather than masculine.


There are as many sexualities as there are people, and that's why LGBTQ+ identities often fall under umbrella labels. Uncertain of yours? We talked to sexuality and psychology experts to help shed some light on the magic of sexual orientation:

  • Psychotherapist Kelli Miller, LCSW, MSW, says, "I think the first and foremost [thing] is to know that it's okay to be confused about your sexuality... Sometimes you can be in the gray."[1]
  • Global sex educator Cath Hakanson agrees, saying, "The most important thing is to stay curious. Don’t overthink it... Just give yourself time to see what feels right."[2]
  • Therapist Samantha Fox, MS, LMFT adds, "Maintaining curiosity and working from what you actually feel instead of what you feel is accepted in society is a good way to know where you exist on the spectrum."[3]
  • Licensed social worker and LGBTQ+ identity expert Zoe Stoller says, "If it feels like a label would be helpful in order to better understand yourself, then my suggestion is to read through the definitions of different labels, read through all the different sexualities, and read them out loud to yourself, see if any of the words stick out to you. Try saying, 'I am bisexual' versus 'I am gay' out loud or to your friends and see if it feels right or not."[4]
  • Stoller adds: "Oftentimes you can just automatically be in tune with your body and get a sense of if that word is right or not. Or stick with one word for a little bit and then change the word if you find a word that feels better for you, it's totally up to you."[5]
  • LGBTQIA+ activist and educator NV Gay agrees, and says there's nothing wrong with trying on a label just to "See if you like it."[6]
