I wrestle a LOT with outing myself to others. Especially when I was in Social Justice Warrior mode about my companies health insurance and Trans Exclusion for my HRT coupled with all the fallout at the time from a state whose name I dare not speak. All sorts of "Diversity" platitudes in our multi-national policies yet..... where the rubber meets the road, diversity can go suck wind. I outed myself to HR in hopes of someday the injustice will be corrected.
Then came to the ..... Euphoria? I survived so why stop there? And, my sister with whom I've really been wrestling about this with since we were pretty close....
Of course there is always the "You are Only As Sick As Your Secrets".
I've come a long way in loosing a lot of the Shame I accumulated over a lifetime of actively fighting being trans. I've done a few, totally out of character, things to further loose the shame and guilt like therapy and doctors for HRT, even having Transgender officially 'On the record'. I don't WANT to feel like a freak.
What I want, and what others can feel......
Only you know if it's worth the risk
