Too many people here on Jewcy just seem to be burned by the fact that they are products of intermarriage, (and given intermarriage trends in this country most likely the father is Jewish and the mother isn't), making you most likely not Jewish and people making this known to you after your parents LIED to you and told you that you were Jewish.

But Halacha is clear. You can continue to ignore it if you like, bit it is what it is. And unless you want to become a big Rabbi and put out a psak din saying patrileal decent is now OK to be called Jewish even in Orthodoxy (unlikely, especially since if your mother is not Jewish and you haven't converted you will now have to convert before becoming a Rabbi). Or you can just stick with thr Reform movement which has its own rules on this matter and leave everyone else to what you perceive is their own "mishegoss".

When feeling like others think you don't measure up somehow, you can either accept these people's perception of you and do something about it or you can reject these people's perception of you and stay as you are. But you can't expect to not change yourself AND force other people to change their perception of you. You can't make people think/believe anything they don't want to.
