The internet and the option of stealth
http://www.tsroadmap.com/early/netstealth.html This is the first in a series of upcoming articles on practical information that is intended for those in their teens and 20's who are interested in complete assimilation, although much of this applies to anyone. I am painting with a broad brush and making some sweeping generalizations in order to try to raise awareness about as many online security issues as possible. Thanks to all who have given me helpful input!
For the vast majority of women in our community, deep stealth is never an option, simply because they will never be accepted as female at the level required. However, the younger you are, the more likely you'll have the option of stealth at some level. Having the option of stealth is about control. I'll discuss the pros and cons of this option separately, but in the meantime, you must decide early on whether you want to have that option or not.
If you decide you'd like to keep the option of stealth available, you need to think carefully about how you use the web in order to stay in control of your options. At first, you won't want people to know about your history until you're ready to tell them, and afterwards, you won't want personal information floating around that could get you outed. Pretty much anything you do online leaves a trail, so it's important to be aware of some of the ways you might jeopardize the option of stealth.
