Does a straight male cd have a place in the LGBTQ community?

I don't associate with someone just to be accepted. I'll do my thing and don't give me crap about it.

That's a little bit disingenuous Thera. You do in fact associate with others to be accepted, and those others would be your straight male friends that have no idea who you really are. In fact, nobody knows who you really are so how are they gonna give you "crap" about your thing when you "do your thing" in complete secrecy?

I've noticed over the years that a lot of deeply closeted people talk tough about their individuality on the internet but you don't hear a peep from them in real life. I understand how difficult it is for many people to be honest with themselves and others, but I don't understand how someone can be so proudly independent and dismissive of societal classifications here, but completely opposite in their lives.

My religious, teabagger, birther dad, is not thrilled about my transition but he is proud that I at least walk it like I talk it.
