Fair warning, the interviewer is a religious podcaster who may have some questionable beliefs about LGB people. The interview itself is pretty fascinating, though.
Interviewer: If I can ask, sexually, do you identify as lesbian, bisexual, or...?
Helena: Straight.
Interviewer: You do!? I thought you were bisexual. Or was that-- is that a whole nother podcast, or--
Helena: No, it's hard. I used to think I was bisexual, but, I realized, so-- I was in a pretty long relationship with a woman who also used to be a trans man, and like, we both got into a relationship when we were very confused, and like, in my head, a trans man was the same as like a biological man. So, like, we ended up becoming really close friends, and then, I guess just like, got confused... It was a really insane part of my life. So, this was, we met right after my mom and I had a huge fight, a huge falling out, where we ended up like, blocking each other and not talking to each other for like, six to twelve months...
... Probably six months before we ended up breaking up, I started realizing that like, Oh shit, I'm not attracted to women, this is not working, this is not gonna happen, this is really unhealthy, the only reason we're-- together like this, is because we kind of bonded over these traumatic experiences that happened to us. And so I started realizing I was straight. And we eventually broke up. And then now that that's over, and I don't have that influencing me anymore, it's very clear that I got majorly confused, and I am... pretty much as straight as it comes.
