@OctaviaConAmore posts like this are exactly why I spend Trans Day of Visibility soap boxxing "don't out people without their consent".

Some of us have that fire to be open and to be that walking middle finger to cis patriarchy. Others don't and that isn't shameful. Everyone has their own reasons as to why. Be it their job, family, etc. If they ain't out, let them be.

The "nazi anime pfp" thing has always smacked of at best holier-than-thou and at worst people saying that come off as fascist themselves. Anonymity doesn't auto-magically mean that person is evil and it's kinda sus if you say it does. Dysphoria sucks butts and I didn't always use my face and name so publicly. I do it now as a challenge to the broader USA zeitgeist. I do it because I have that fire. I'll gladly paint a target on my back to protect other trans siblings. To normalize our lives.

Cis people:
Fucking listen to us more. Don't. Out. People. Who. Aren't. Out.
