I cannot find acceptance within my own community.

For the last ten years I have been struggling to find acceptance within my own community, but to no avail.
It's a long story, but as a white MTF transsexual living in the Bay area I do not feel like I am apart of the Transgender community. Anyone can Google my name and see the work I have done, but not once does anyone from that community ever ask me to directly participate in any public events.
