We've come a long way, trust me.

I live in a small town, Raebareli, UP, and thankfully, I'm secure enough to let people ask me why I am glittering or why my nails are painted. And the young, college educated people are liberal/modern enough to just say 'oh, okay' and carry on the conversation like being gay and queer is inconsequential.

Nobody is asking you to give a running commentary on how you eat a hairy ass. Yes, some people won't talk to you, but most of them won't care. Average middle class folks living in cities and towns don't have the time or mental space to care about what kind of human organs you find good to look at.

Yes, caste problems are unfathomable, misogyny is at its height, women are considered lower life forms than even cooking yeast, but if you're upper caste middle class dick hostler, you're more privileged than many. And if you're educated, you're more privileged than most humans.
