Do people not understand some of us are stealth???

I like being very vocal about being trans in the spaces I'm out. It's obviously not my whole personality (Also before anyone goes looking in my profile, I use this account to specifically talk about trans stuff) but to me being trans is a highlight of struggles I've gone through and how far I've gotten, I'm proud about very few things and being trans is one of them, and I'm very passionate about trans rights. I'm trans, I'm gay and I'm here. Tbh I think this is all due to the frustration of not having proper access to trans healthcare, I refuse to be erased

But people really need to understand that despite all of this, at the end of the day we are all different. Whether people want to go stealth or be incredibly open about it that's up to individual people and people shouldn't be pressured into going stealth if they're open about it or to out themselves of they're stealth, even if another trans person is doing it. Even with me being vocal about trans rights, I hate being seen as a walking political statement or be expected to have to engage in discussions I don't want to engage in just because I'm trans. I just wanna live my life in peace, just like any other person, cis and trans alike

What cis people need to learn is that we're not all cookie cutter copies of each other and that we're just regular people that exist and just wanna live our lives by our own terms
