So many are stealth and most likely will never have the courage to come out.Out of close to 30 girls that I know here only 3 of us are out full time We are 65,66,and 71 those that are younger and working fear for their jobs and marriages and I do not blame them. Doing this is unbelievably difficult for all of us, what it really boils down to is that those of us who are out really need to be active in the community to gain support.
Laura I am so sorry I offended you or anyone else here it was not my intention to. The whole context of the message stated why some are not able to actually be the person they truly are,there are circumstances beyond our control that do keep many of us stealth for our whole lives and it is a shame.
I made a decision when I melted down at 63 to do everything possible to help our cause so that others who follow in the future might have an easier path to follow without as many problems as we face now. At 65 I really don't have anything to lose but everything to gain for our younger members just by educating those I come into contact with that we are special people . I am transitioning in an area that I have lived and worked for 40 years and boy did I raise a lot of eyebrows. I totally understand for our younger members this is almost impossible to do ,but never the less some are able to do it. I admire them because I would never have had the courage myself, now I just don't care and will continue supporting our cause for as long as God keeps me on this earth in a human form. Patty BTW I was stealth from 18 to 63 even my wife did not know. I have been and suffered there my whole life.
