There comes a time when you just have to stand up and shout: ‘This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me… or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don’t fit your idea of who I should be. And don’t try to change me to fit your mould. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision’
