This. This one is a little more tricky. Firstly I’d explain the social and health implications of being outed. What that could do mentally and socially to a person. Then I’d move onto the physical safety aspect of it, and try to get the “outer” to understand just how rude it is to go about disclosing other people’s stuff.

Any other followers have some advice they’d like to share?

Hey – not too sure. Just take it slow and don’t overthink things. It’s difficult but being stealth really isn’t that hard after all the documentation has been changed and you “pass” – you simply neglect to tell people about one aspect of your medical history. I hope that helped in any capacity; I feel like I vaugepost a fair bit and I apologise for that.

Thanks man. I don’t present myself wholly here, nor do I pretend to. It’s just too risky with a family.

What I do present is accurate, except for changing names obviously. And that’s all I’m willing to give.
If it’s not enough for some, that’s thier loss.

Yeah, a few times. Thankfully it didn’t spread any further.

Hahaha thanks for the kind words. I don’t think that’s what anon meant to say, but luckily in Australia that particular slur is used anecdotally with friends as a term of endearment. No, seriously, it is. Ha!

I’m happy for everyone to have their own opinions of me. 

What matters is how my family and friends see me – and in that regard I’m doing just fine.

Thanks!

Flattered – but you only know what I present on here, not the “actual me”. 

If by goals you mean post-transition and a Father/Husband; then that’s totally possible and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. 

Sure – I don’t use a harness for packing. I use briefs or tighter than usual boxer briefs.
