It’s an experiment.
I’ve written two books with such a protagonist. Pantomime, which just made a top ten title for the 2014 ALA Rainbow list, and the just-released sequel, Shadowplay. The first one is set in a circus and the second on a magician’s stage.

Invisibility means coming up with an arsenal of excuses for your lack of Normality, an army of justifications for living a life that makes you just a little more comfortable.
Invisibility means “acceptance” comes at the price of breaking up and stuffing away the things that make you you, and struggling to force yourself into a hole that doesn’t fit.
Invisibility means forcing yourself into relationships and acts that you don’t want because the alternative is taboo.
Invisibility means you can never really tell them who you are.
Invisibility means you can’t even feel pride in your community half the time, because the world is intent on destroying what little of a community there is.
Invisibility means facing a world of people who would have you bow your head and let them rewrite your identity for you; who demand your complacence while they redefine the things that make you who you are.
Invisibility means your suffering doesn’t even matter to those supposedly fighting to End All Suffering.
Invisibility means shame.
Invisibility means denial.
Invisibility means loneliness.
Invisibility is not a privilege.
