Visibility

[Megan.]

There is no right or wrong answer to this, but for those that aren't 100% stealth, to what extent are you out, visible and active as a trans-person?

I'm a leader on my multinational employers LGBT network, and have spoken on LGBT and trans* issues at several internal and external events including internationally. This was mostly because I transitioned at work (visibly) so I figured I'd make lemonade with my lemons.

But I'm starting to feel I'd like to reduce my profile and just 'live my life'.

I'm not completely out yet. But when I do...my entire workplace will know. And I have about 260 facebook contacts that I know in person, at least 99% of them.

I won't go quietly. It's impossible.

I will propably just go on with my life after I come out. I have too much other things to do than being a spokes person of trans rights.

I am a trans woman and I am out, visible and active.  But I am not very active as as trans person.  I have not spoken publicly on trans topics, and I don't flaunt my transness.  I am quite happy to go about my business quietly.  My main form of activism is the normalization of transness.  In other words, just being a regular person while visibly trans.

However, I do up my visibility for special occasions.  I am planning to wear my trans triangle pendant for TDoV later this week, as well as a trans flag button.  I have gone to flag-raising ceremonies for Pride week, where I hung out with my trans sisters.

Megan:  EXACTLY!!!   Since I went full time a over a year and a half ago that is what I am doing, just living my life and enjoying my life as a female. 
I work long hours at my business, have lots of activities with my male and female friends, enjoy going to the gym with a group of cis-females, enjoy going out to dinner with various friends (including a special male suitor that I have mentioned previously here and there) ....  as the weather warms up I will again go hiking, run some half-marathons and charity events, etc.. like I have always done...   this is what it is about for me, to try to get back to "normal" living my life.  (whatever "normal" is )

Pretty much this.  I don't plan to be an activist, but should fate thrust something at me I won't shy away.

Now that I am out everywhere, I hope go be able to attend a few Pride events.  They usually seem to be in June around here, Pridefest in Milwaukee the biggie.

I am invisible right now so as to speak. Besides my feminine traits and the way I walk like a woman but I've been this way naturally my whole life. Some women are suspect to this but men are not unless they are gay. I have no sexual preference of attraction right now but have been questioned about what I am. Not even who. I do want to start soon transitioning would be a big step especially in the open! Have any advice?
