I'm trying to imagine myself as a 16 year old saying I lacked perspective about...anything. I am reasonably sure that it never happened. You've got a good head on your shoulders. It's sign and I prophesy it.
Norman, thank you for sharing with us. I know from your first couple of posts here, that couldn't have been easy. I have always enjoyed your posts and your humor and wit. You are awesome and this forum is better for your presence.
About the genophobia, like PT says, it will get better. To me it seems like a lot of it might stem from being bisexual and not being fully comfortable with that, combined with the fear/guilt instilled in you by that evil institution. Fuck every last bit of that. You are normal. Who you are is beautiful, and who you desire is who you desire, and nothing should make you feel shame about any of it. I know that's a nice platitude, and I have no idea what Poland is like regarding bisexuality, but dammit if it's not true. I truly hope that you find the strength to be who you are, proudly so, and find your strength and self image from within.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
