To all the post-transition guys-

How do your views compare now to when you were pre- or early in transition? 

I, for one, never thought I'd desire a stealth lifestyle but now couldn't imagine anything but.  For me, I think it had something to do with being seen as male and not wanting to be seen and treated as anything but, so i do not disclose unless it's totally necessary.

I haven't had any surgeries. Been on T 10 months, and have lived "stealth" since I had my name changed when I was 16. I used to never tell anyone, and now only tell my partners, and have told a few close friends. Nobody at my place of employment, or previous employers have ever known. I can't imagine being any other way.
One of the reasons I choose not to tell people, is because of that, I don't want to be seem as "trans".

Transition is still new to me, though done for the most part.  I want to live fairly stealth, only because it's just recently that people have started seeing me as male, and I like it.  It's been a while since someone said ma'am, and my voice cements it.  I'm dating a straight woman I have not disclosed to yet (still early) but plan to if things progress.  I do not want to be seen as anything other than male.

I don't think my views have changed much at all.  I am stealth where I live now, but where I lived before transition everyone knows that I am trans. As far of my way of thinking, people I'm interested in, and things like that I haven't noticed anything changing.
