    I’ve told men I’m trans after being intimate before and if anything that just makes them less likely to lose interest, tho I do admit I absolutely could have just gotten lucky and dodged a bunch of bullets, cuz yeah I know that some men will respond violently.

    I really do get wanting to remain stealth. Getting to just live life as a “normal” person for the first time In your entire life is kinda indescribable, and I’ve definitely had periods of time where I wanted to do only that. There are trade offs tho, as I’m sure you know, and it’s up to you to decide if the price is really worth it.

      I might consider it, but I’m just scared of his reaction, especially because he knows where I live and we live like 5-10 minutes from each other😭

      I hate that it has to be so difficult to be trans😭 There seem to be awful trade-offs both when stealth and non-stealth. Are you fully stealth or out to friends?

        Oh im out to all my freinds, I dont need the stress in my life of being stealth arround freinds. And like, all I’ll say is, obviously you need to protect yourslef, but dont let fear be the primary motivator in your life. Its not worth it.

          It’s quite hard not to😭 I feel like I’d be stressing too if I was out to my friends, like I feel that I’d be missing out on things that would not happen if I was open about being trans, and it’s risky career-wise as I’m in medschool and connections and reputation matter a lot as it’s kind of small community😵‍💫 idk in any case my goal is to be fully stealth by the age of 25 or I’ll off myself, so I have to minimize all risk😅
