To be honest, I don't know. After some time I just stopped thinking so much about lgbt related issues and I realized that being gay doesn't have anything to do with who I am as a person. I'm attracted to the same sex, that's all it says about me. I didn't want who I date to be a political thing. I didn't want people to assume my political stances or my personality based on my orientation. And after some time, I didn't want to be associated with the kind of people that are loud and thus 'represent' the lgbt community at all. I began to be more and more annoyed with lesbian communities getting overpopulated with trans related posts and I eventually joined r/truelesbians. I slowly started to be a little more 'conservative' about lgbt issues, started joining GC communities etc.

At this point, I think I finally accepted myself enough to stop caring so much about my orientation and if it means anything, if that makes sense. I'm gay, that doesn't have anything to do with being trans or with who I am as a person. And that's just that.
