I actually face very few issues, I'm in a comfortable middle class sort of life, I've come out to friends and my family and they've been wonderful about it. My grandparents are a bit old fashioned catholics but they've never tried to change my mind. And it's not really straight people for me, the T at the end is for Trans and trans people can be straight or gay, so it's not straight people. It's just Normal people in general. 1% of the population isn't even a blip on the radar of a nation with 350 million people I never expect them to have met someone like me. If I introduce myself as a man they don't think anything of it.
I don't find anything oppressive, straight people rather normal people are a wide variety of cultures, I think the religious fundamentalists are probably the only people who really can't stand the idea of LGBT people, and perhaps it means that religious culture needs to update but that takes time. Culture is a many faceted thing and there's no way to force it to conform you have to let it naturally evolve as the culture around it evolves.
We've already had incredible strides in rights, and I think in general the average person is okay with LGBT or have no opinion at all, and that's for the best. If you want to be seen as just another person then the best way to do it is to be unassuming, and in generally a good person. You get what you give and if you give support and love you'll get it in return. It's not always easy to do as you preach but it's always been my philosophy, that if I want good done onto me I have to first understand and be good onto others.
