Living your true self is the most powerful thing you can do. But for me, my true self apparently needs to be visibly queer. I felt like I was losing myself when that wasn't the case.
In my case, the "fuck you" part is in being able to give a shit eating grin to people who are uncomfortable with my existence, as opposed to those people just assuming I'm one of them. I want them to know that I am not :)
