Kairi,
I totally understand - what shut up the 'gay taunts' for me was marriage, although some kids still feel the need to carry on. I'm not suggesting that for a moment, but I was fortunate that by accident, it worked for me.
Socially, I am much more feminine in my nature, and it is a struggle to become friends, without the dreaded male barriers being raised - in some ways I wish I was 'out' more, as it could help in these social circumstances. I would say I'm 80-20 F-N
Being nb is by its nature mis-aligned in a mainly binary society, if you have interests, pursue them, the regular social contact, if nothing else, does help.
Big virtual hug, with a large dose of tea and sympathy
Sno.
Pass the cake Cynthia.
