I'm bisexual, but I haven't written about it in secondaries because it hasn't really played a central role in my path to medicine in the same way that some other aspects of my life story have. I'm entirely open to talking about it in interviews, reflecting on how it's shaped my perspective, etc., it's just that I've never really thought of sexuality in general as being pertinent to my life story (other than in the context of personal relationships, of course).
However, I'm working on a secondary now that explicitly asks if I identify as LGBTQ+. While I plan on answering yes, I'm wondering if it's unusual that I've otherwise made no mention of it. I don't want to give the impression that I'm being inconsistent or haven't done any introspection on the topic. Has anybody else done something similar? Is this a common situation to be in or should I have been reflecting on it in my responses up to this point?
