[This...is not exactly what Hades was going for, nor what the take away thereof was meant to be, however, it serves the same purpose, and so...]
Indeed.
These private and personal matters can be complex and trying. Withering, in some ways. You have the right of it, that this is something Dirk must needs contend with when he is good and ready, not when others have decided for him. I do believe he will feel better once the truth is out, but there is nothing to gain by sullying the truth with hastily robbing him of control over it.
I myself have no qualms with how others perceive us, and neither does Dirk in a more general sense, however, matters of kin certainly holds a unique power over us that none other does.
As for your time as an Amaurotine, it is a shame that such a state could only be temporary for you, but I am gladdened for your broadened perspective on such matters nevertheless. It can be difficult to imagine such with naught to go off of, as I had attempted to live like mortals countless times, but truly being one in this world has given me a perspective I otherwise could not have. I am sure now you can see why the frailty of mortals begets the tragedies that otherwise ought not exist. When one can live forever, create aught they imagine, such petty things like differences matter so very little compared to everything else.
Did your family truly have such a problem with your sexuality? For a time, mortals of my own reality cared about such pettiness, and I do suppose some still do, yet more pressing matters seem to keep them occupied. Though, not too occupied that they stop warring over such trivialities such as race and cultural differences, but I digress.
