Yet another clarification...
People are free to make whatever assumptions they like about my sexuality. I don't worry about possible misperceptions (if any) - and trying to compensate for it is one of my arguments - we shouldn't. "All male dancers have to deal with this..." - only if they choose to, only if they choose to...
I think what I was trying to say is that we should strive to be Belly Dancers who just happen to be male, NOT as males who just happen to be Belly Dancers...
Ok, so I'm weird!
