Moderate activist... I don't get out and help as much as I would like, but I try to lend a hand when I can, speak out in comment sections, etc... I really want to do more like go to rallies and stuff, but not being able to drive kinda makes that hard :<

Depends on who's asking and what I'm wearing. Guy mode? A few people know. If I'm in girl mode - I'm a girl. Not going to deny anything. :) I'm hoping it'll become more difficult to hide in the next year or so. :D

Only telling allies (including fellow transfolk), a
medical professionals, family and really no one else unless it's absolutely necessary, examples of "absolutely necessary" would be explaining a name change to law enforcement or for a background check. Otherwise NOYB.

I listed moderate, since I do promote understanding and acceptance online anywhere I can. And I am also planning to get involved at my school with helping the LGBT students. A bonus too is that getting involved there may help "prep" my work associates for what I may likely be talking to them about down the road.

Well, I'm really private about at work. I do lots of advocating online but plan on doing much more than that later.

well, so  far I just do my advocating on Susan's by  trying to understand our situation as much as I can. A good approach if I had the energy would be to collect all the data obtained from questions on the forum and write a thesis and publish it online in one of the scientific reviews, but that would take some time. I like the idea of mining our little online community for fresh data on our transitioning to help others who have suffered throughout their lives dealing with this complex issue.
