It turns out I’m the only queer person a lot of people know. Not the only LGBT person, but in Missouri a lot of people try to downplay their queerness for obvious reasons.
This means when well meaning cishet people want to ask questions about queerness, I get a message. Want to make sure people know your business is queer friendly? Ask Sylvia. Someone recently came out to you and you don’t want to fuck it up? Ask Sylvia. Having a later in life identity crisis? Ask Sylvia.
And I don’t mind. It’s just funny feeling like I am The Ambassador for The Queers.
