I don't present as gay. Duh. Naturally, it bothers me to be seen as something I DON'T see myself as, or try to present as.
Sorry to jump into the flamery at such a late date.
How do you know you do't present as gay? And, saying such, how can you make a judgment about the idea of "presenting gay" -- do you mean stereotypically gay? There was a point that I was in a complete fog about the fact that some people sure did think I "presented" as stereotypically gay. But then I accepted it, bought my Trannyfag t-shirt and pranced around the Castro and helped other trannyfags to come to grips with themselves (my comfort with myself helped a couple to come out of denial/the closet/leave their fears behind). But at the same time, I made sure peeps knew that I'm completely bisexual. *g*
I think some of the question goes to these entries and the things you say on your User Info page as well. ::shrugs::
Anyway. Just popping in. May not pop back to this particular post, but hope to see you around somewhere nevertheless.
