Questioning is the process of wondering what one’s gender, sexuality, or romantic orientation is. Questioning can happen at any age, and can take anywhere from days to years. Questioning is normal for anyone, whether they turn out to actually be LGBTQ+ or not.
Questioning can refer to both the process of questioning one's gender/sexuality as well as a person who is in the process of questioning.
