this is a long time coming, but it has to happen. i am planning on slowly going stealth over the course of the summer. i will be restricting access from my tumblr and i will be deleting my twitter accound. I also plan on purging everything from before my transition on facebook. i am not afraid of my past, but it’s not anyone’s business.
i made this decision at the start of my transition, that i would go stealth and leave my identity as trans behind me. i identify only as a woman. i will still care for the cause as an ally, but i don’t see my identity as political, and therefore it will be kept to the back burner.
it’s a matter of survival and self-esteem for me. if you want to keep in touch message me and i’ll direct you to my facebook. it’s just now that i pass well enough to conduct my life with comfort and i am legally female, i need to go underground for a time. i may come out again in a few years time, but i don’t know. i need this more than a lot of things right now, and that i pass at work and none of my co-workers know i am trans is really keeping me going.
i’ll be posting this again tonight and a few times throughout the week before i officially close off my tumblr in case people want to talk to me about it or w/e. i mean i don’t really have fans, just a couple of friends who follow me. but i’m gone now.
In which Red Dwarf demonstrates what Douglas Adams knew to be true:
the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can’t cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.
The major problem is simply one of grammar.
