How old were you when you realized you like girls/women?

I’ve rewritten this a few times now, because I keep writing too many details. But I’m so curious. I grew up in a family/religion that discouraged same sex relationships, so while I started questioning when I was a teenager, I didn’t accept it until I was closer to my late 20’s. I was already married to a man and had two little girls of my own when I finally accepted I like women. I’m Demisexual and bisexual, and happily married to my husband who is also my best friend, so even though I’m bisexual I likely won’t ever date a woman.

However, my 5yo (who will be 6 next month) has been telling us since she was 4 that she is going to marry a girl like mommy when she grows up. I’m just curious if could be a phase or if it is her knowing who she likes. (We’ve told her we’ll love anyone she marries, and that she doesn’t need to marry anyone if she doesn’t want to, and we really couldn’t care less who it is as long as they treat her right). So, when did you first notice your preference?
