I would love to know what we #transgender people ever did to get every politician in the world to just straight up hate us, and want us dead.. I mean we have done NOTHING besides just try to live our lives in the most peaceful way possible. #USPOL #FuckTrump #FuckMAGA #FuckTERFs #FuckConservatives #Progressive #TransRights #TransRightsAreHumanRights #FuckTransphobes #TransFemale #TransMan #TransMale #TransMasc #TransFem #LGBTQIA

No matter what I will never forget you all exist unlike how society forgets you all exist. I will always love and cherish all of you. You are all so wonderful, handsome, and deserving of validation, and respect. #Transgender #TransMasculine #TransMasc #TransMan #TransBoy #TransMale

In this new year I wanna start it out right.

I love my trans male brothers, my enby siblings, and my trans female sisters! Thank you for being you, and for being awesome! Let's try to do what we can to make 2025 a year worth living despite the hardships those of us in the US are going to be facing. For those of you in Europe and more friendly areas.. be sure to be there for those of us in the US. Immigrants aren't the only ones who are going to be facing severe hardships in the upcoming Trump administration..the Republicans are going to be going after us trans people even harder than they have in previous years.

So with that said! As a trans woman in the US.. I love the transgender community! Thanks for being awesome, and for being lovely!

Anyone who says being stealth is cowardly/privileged/transphobic/etc can fuck off.

I worked hard to get to where I am today. It took a lot of time, courage, pain, money, etc to transition and pass and be myself. I have accomplished what I always wanted--to become a normal man.

If I were to out myself again, it would trigger inescapable, self-inflicted dysphoria.

Going stealth isn't something people do because they are lazy, politically apathetic, or ashamed of being trans.

It is harm reduction and a measure of self care. It is a legitimate and crucial decision for anyone who transitions.

When I was early on in my transition and couldn't pass, I spent every waking hour wrestling with awful depression, anxiety, and dysphoria. I would constantly be wondering whether people saw me as a man or a woman, if they were wondering things about my body, if they were judging me for how I looked, talked, or behaved.

Now, I go outside and simply exist.

Each person's transition is different. By definition, assimilation into the opposite sex is the end goal.

Stealth people shouldn't be expected to come out because we "owe" it to anyone. We owe ourselves personal safety and mental wellbeing over anything and/or anyone--else.

We can still affect change anonymously, or IRL as allies. Surprisingly, we may even openly participate in other sectors of the LGBT community.

There is no right or wrong answer to the question of whether someone should be stealth or not. And the only person you have to answer to is yourself.

The hard part with being stealth is that once you decide to come back out, it's never something you can undo. Whereas you can continue being stealth indefinitely.

Just being able to be myself and live a stress free life, not having to worry whether people are wondering what's between my legs, is awesome.

It's also nice just having my masculinity/manhood/maleness assumed to be legitimate until proven otherwise.

I was outed to a coworker last year. I remember the horror and dread I felt when she walked up to me and kept asking why I never told her, what my old name was, etc. The worst part was when she said she would have never even known.

I felt sick to my stomach. And she definitely thought of me differently from that point on.

To come out all over again feels like I'd be going through the same thing a thousand times over.

On the other hand, it would be nice to be more open about who I am, and express my opinions on trans things freely. Also being visible for other trans people would be nice too. But tbh I don't vibe with most trans people--that's been the case since I was young, and I am so uncomfortable when trans people assume that we'll get along or be compatible just because we are both trans. Or that I want to talk about trans stuff or share my own private information or be explicitly asked about invasive things etc etc.

I think I will probably continue making posts online to have an outlet where I can be fully transparent. I am joining a local trans support group later this month as well.

I have a lot of time to decide, I guess. I think I'm leaning towards staying stealth overall. I would like to be able to put a trans flag sticker on my car or a pin on my backpack or something but I feel like I'd just be so anxious about it. I might just stuck with class rainbow flag and bisexual stuff. It feels safer for me personally.

It's not that I'm ashamed of being trans, I've just achieved what I've always wanted, which is to become a normal, average guy. To sacrifice that just to prove a point doesn't seem good for me in the long run. I feel like I would immediately regret it.

Curious to hear from other trans people especially if you are stealth.

I knew being stealth in the town I grew up in was always gonna be difficult. Thankfully the pop. size is large enough where the older I get, the less I run into familiar faces.

I work food service though so we get a lot of people coming through and every so often I will see someone from high school or something and pray that they don't say anything.

I'm lucky in that most people my age at least seem to mind their own business. Or they either don't recognize me (unlikely) or don't remember me (more likely).

Statistically speaking I'm gonna have a few close encounters every so often.

The long and short of it is: to be sufficiently trans, you cannot be a "full" man.

Once you cross the threshold into full manhood/maleness, your trans status is rendered null and void.

(Regardless of being stealth, considering stealth trans men still need trans resources, support, guidance, and community.)
