Nat Regis 33 | Bisexual Cis-Woman I always knew I was “different”. Different in the sense that I knew I was interested in women. I also knew it was not safe to talk about, glorify, or celebrate it. I was a child navigating the sea of homophobic slurs in music, at home, and school. Did I mention that I was Haitian and indoctrinated into Catholicism? Growing up Haitian in the 90’s was tough! Tack on navigating, suppressing, and hiding the confusion of my homosexuality. Sex was taboo. You didn’t talk about it or think about it at home. As a child in high school, we were spoken to about sex in Health class. That was it! Thinking back, 15+ years ago, Mx. Fisher (Health class instructor) definitely gave off some gender queer vibes. In Mx. Fisher’s class, or rather the curriculum we were taught, we were supposed to believe that sex occurred only between males and females. Like in a mechanical system, the male fitting slides into the female connection. Perfect fit! At church, marriage was reserved for a man and a woman…blah, blah, blah. I remember these narratives affected me deeply. There was no room to be myself. In this fragile stage in life, there was no one I could trust with my thoughts and questions about my sexuality. To hell with all that BS and propaganda. Misleading and confusing children! I always knew sex, sexuality, and pleasure was never clear cut. It wasn’t until I left home for college that I discovered sex, sexuality, and pleasure. I learned that sex can feel good and be pleasureful. Sex should be consensual. Sex should be safe. Sex, sexuality, and pleasure is a natural phenomenon. Sex is a beautiful connection. It feels good to see this in writing. It feels good to know that I’m facing and slowly breaking away at generational traumas regarding having, talking about, and enjoying sex. I am a Haitian woman having and enjoying homosexual sex; a spirit having and enjoying homosexual sex; and a Haitian spirit engaged to a Boricua spirit.
