Ok, so I am considering being lesbian as a way to belong. I don't mean to make this a socio-political issue that stirs people up (so please don't make it). It's just a personal expression and I feel somewhat vulnerable being so open... When I was young and foolish, I dated white guys, to see how I fit in the culture. But I know at least where I am, white people are the majority and the old class haven't fully opened to asians. Asian opinion prompts "Well, if you're don't agree, go back to your country" sort of replies. So, can't have an opinion openly w/o being put in my place as a foreigner I feel like a loner in a majority world. I am struggling to find belonging in this society. I don't want to be further marginalized by being lesbian, but I know I can find community within the smaller culture of lesbians. I want empowerment as a woman, not asian! I want people to see me for who I AM, not see my face! Ok, I am not depressed. I am fine. But at times, I feel down about it all
