I resemble your remarks.
Thank you for the validation of my opinion.
I believe that it is a "drive-in" closet, because there are so many. You are certainly not alone.
I have also known those, who despite societal pressures, refused to be a slave to them. One, a professional colleague, did have a hard time of things many years ago. He had a challenge in securing employment, although his qualifications were excellent. He did find his place eventually, and, thrived. He became respected in our field.
Younger people, both from our discipline - German language and literature - and others, will approach him at conferences, and, state that "he made it easier for them". He was always very modest about it all, because he said that he was "just trying to get through life".
