I'm one of those that it just doesn't bother being trans.

I knew I was trans for a long time but decided to go with Medical transition later in life.

I hid for a very long time

I wouldn't say I am stealth, but I rarely mention my past. Sure, the way the world looks at it I used to be a man. I also used to be in 4th grade, but I'm not any more.

I chose 'Other' because all of them have applied at some point in my life when the subject of the area twixt my legs was, is or will be the subject of discussion.

I've become more or less stealth. I go about my day passing without even a second glance. I feel if its no ones business then why tell em? Even the people who've known me since before transitioning, they've more or less forgotten the person from before. Obviously the memories are there but they recount them like the me now was the me then. (If that makes sense?) Even in the changerooms at work, there's been 'gossip' that there's a trans person in our changeroom, one lady asked me what I thought of it, I responded with 'I think we should be absolutely awful to her for no reason other than some of us think she isn't the same as us.' with HEAVY sarcasm. Everyone laughs, and tells the lady to stop being such a B and mind her own business.

My mother asked me once how I felt about the 'old' pictures around her house, and if I wanted she take them down, I said 'no, I'm not going to pretend that was never me.' This opinion may change in the future..

I believe in full disclosure with people in a relationship, I also see it as a good 'filtering' system for crappy people I wouldn't want to spend time with anyways. I don't ever 'lead' with 'HEY GUESS WHAT, I'VE GOT A DONG..!' though.

Depends who I'm talking to.

I will tailor my responses to individuals. Not likely to admit it outside of an individual conversation. With an individual though, I can usually figure out how best to sugar the pill for their "type", if I absolutely must. Or maybe there'll be someone I'm just happy to tell out of solidarity. For instance someone who had a TG family member and was obviously looking for some way into more knowledge. Might be happy to share it then on a one to one basis.

In terms of just admitting it outright - why? Usually there's no appropriate reason to just dose someone with that info, unless you're close to them personally.

I´m not stealth and it really hurts badly, when someone starts to ask from me if I´m trans....hurts...
