18. I blend in with heteros.

Survival mechanism. With heteros, I've only observed that as long as I hide my "fairy instincts", I'm treated as a real person. I rather like that.

But I've increasingly found that I'm not liked in the gay community as a person.

These days, I know which state of mind is preferable: Being considered a person, even if it means having to hide. Doesn't bother me. I've no "relationship" to "protect".

You have nothing to apologize for.

I have to apologize. For being me.
