There's no one way to be Queer. We certainly don't owe anyone a presentation style, a set of mannerisms, a cultural affiliation, or a personality type.
And it's also important to acknowledge that in our primitive society the more you deviate from the accepted norms of patriarchy (straight, white, cis male supremacy), the more likely the gatekeepers are to try to punish you.
So, by all means, be yourself. And maybe hold space for those who might be risking a little more by presenting a little differently at the moment.
