- I absolutely loved it when I got the part of a male newscaster in a school play and had to wear a suit jacket.
- I panicked at the thought of changing in front of other girls in the locker room. I distinctly remember grand efforts to avert my eyes for fear they'd think I was 'looking' at them.
- No concept of flirting. No understanding the dynamics between guys and gals in high school.
- Absolute befuddlement at my friends crushes.
- From the above-mentioned blog: "Avoiding premarital sex never struck me as all that difficult."
- I always wished I could shop in the men's departments - cargo pants, polo shirts, and sweater vests, oh my!
- I craved physical contact from my friends (who were girls) and thought there was something seriously wrong with me. I tried to blame it on a lack of hugs from my mom or some such childhood issue. Simultaneously, I studiously avoided any such contact.
- I felt like a fraud whenever wearing a skirt and a klutz when it came to applying makeup. I absolutely detested pantihose.
- I developed instant 'crushes' (then described as a desire to be mentored) on several older women in my life.
- When watching romance films, I always focused on the woman during the kissing scenes. When fantasizing, I always pictured myself in the male role (which I've since realized doesn't mean I wanted to be a man, but that I wanted to be with a woman).

Early clues to my lesbianism
Just recently I read this post on Butch Wonders about signs from childhood/adolescence that the author was a lesbian. I could relate to many of them so I thought I would make my own list (blatantly copying some points...and in no particular order).
