The Stress of Stealth?

It's never been a part of my plan to go stealth although I've wondered what it must be like. I'm pretty open and, since I want to keep my job (tenure and security for life if I want it!), there is no way that I could have transitioned and be stealth anyway.

However, there are certain quarters in which I've tried to be discrete. I haven't really been that open with my students, for example. Because of the perfect timing of me getting PhD funding and being able to take first, a part-time leave, and now a full-time leave, most of the physical changes necessary for me to be consistently read as male were done before going back to teach. And now I won't be teaching for 2 years while I work on my doctorate. So there hasn't been any need for me to deal with students so much.
