In this new year I wanna start it out right.

I love my trans male brothers, my enby siblings, and my trans female sisters! Thank you for being you, and for being awesome! Let's try to do what we can to make 2025 a year worth living despite the hardships those of us in the US are going to be facing. For those of you in Europe and more friendly areas.. be sure to be there for those of us in the US. Immigrants aren't the only ones who are going to be facing severe hardships in the upcoming Trump administration..the Republicans are going to be going after us trans people even harder than they have in previous years.

So with that said! As a trans woman in the US.. I love the transgender community! Thanks for being awesome, and for being lovely!

Anyone who says being stealth is cowardly/privileged/transphobic/etc can fuck off.

I worked hard to get to where I am today. It took a lot of time, courage, pain, money, etc to transition and pass and be myself. I have accomplished what I always wanted--to become a normal man.

If I were to out myself again, it would trigger inescapable, self-inflicted dysphoria.

Going stealth isn't something people do because they are lazy, politically apathetic, or ashamed of being trans.

It is harm reduction and a measure of self care. It is a legitimate and crucial decision for anyone who transitions.

When I was early on in my transition and couldn't pass, I spent every waking hour wrestling with awful depression, anxiety, and dysphoria. I would constantly be wondering whether people saw me as a man or a woman, if they were wondering things about my body, if they were judging me for how I looked, talked, or behaved.

Now, I go outside and simply exist.

Each person's transition is different. By definition, assimilation into the opposite sex is the end goal.

Stealth people shouldn't be expected to come out because we "owe" it to anyone. We owe ourselves personal safety and mental wellbeing over anything and/or anyone--else.

We can still affect change anonymously, or IRL as allies. Surprisingly, we may even openly participate in other sectors of the LGBT community.

There is no right or wrong answer to the question of whether someone should be stealth or not. And the only person you have to answer to is yourself.

The hard part with being stealth is that once you decide to come back out, it's never something you can undo. Whereas you can continue being stealth indefinitely.

Just being able to be myself and live a stress free life, not having to worry whether people are wondering what's between my legs, is awesome.

It's also nice just having my masculinity/manhood/maleness assumed to be legitimate until proven otherwise.

I was outed to a coworker last year. I remember the horror and dread I felt when she walked up to me and kept asking why I never told her, what my old name was, etc. The worst part was when she said she would have never even known.

I felt sick to my stomach. And she definitely thought of me differently from that point on.

To come out all over again feels like I'd be going through the same thing a thousand times over.

On the other hand, it would be nice to be more open about who I am, and express my opinions on trans things freely. Also being visible for other trans people would be nice too. But tbh I don't vibe with most trans people--that's been the case since I was young, and I am so uncomfortable when trans people assume that we'll get along or be compatible just because we are both trans. Or that I want to talk about trans stuff or share my own private information or be explicitly asked about invasive things etc etc.

I think I will probably continue making posts online to have an outlet where I can be fully transparent. I am joining a local trans support group later this month as well.

I have a lot of time to decide, I guess. I think I'm leaning towards staying stealth overall. I would like to be able to put a trans flag sticker on my car or a pin on my backpack or something but I feel like I'd just be so anxious about it. I might just stuck with class rainbow flag and bisexual stuff. It feels safer for me personally.

It's not that I'm ashamed of being trans, I've just achieved what I've always wanted, which is to become a normal, average guy. To sacrifice that just to prove a point doesn't seem good for me in the long run. I feel like I would immediately regret it.

Curious to hear from other trans people especially if you are stealth.

I knew being stealth in the town I grew up in was always gonna be difficult. Thankfully the pop. size is large enough where the older I get, the less I run into familiar faces.

I work food service though so we get a lot of people coming through and every so often I will see someone from high school or something and pray that they don't say anything.

I'm lucky in that most people my age at least seem to mind their own business. Or they either don't recognize me (unlikely) or don't remember me (more likely).

Statistically speaking I'm gonna have a few close encounters every so often.

The long and short of it is: to be sufficiently trans, you cannot be a "full" man.

Once you cross the threshold into full manhood/maleness, your trans status is rendered null and void.

(Regardless of being stealth, considering stealth trans men still need trans resources, support, guidance, and community.)

I said I would make a post earlier about the exclusion of trans men, both within the trans community and the LGBT community at large. In the future I intend to set up a blog and write proper essays with sources, references, etc to back up my ideas. But for now I’m just airing out my thoughts. Don’t take anything too seriously. I’m just thinking out loud.

The modern trans community has a serious problem when it comes to the visibility of trans men. I believe this issue lies partly in how much of modern trans discourse has become overtly politicized. This politicization takes the form of far-left populism.

Populism is a theoretically fickle thing to define. Broadly speaking, it is a form of politics that rests largely on social/cultural cues and justifies itself through identity politics to create a binary in-group/out-group mentality. It’s normally used in reference to far-right politics, but if you’re an old school liberal like me you will see it applied to far-left ideologies as well. It is not my intention to argue politics here; I just want to be clear about how I frame my perspective on this.

As I said, populism necessitates an in-group and an out-group to be effective. The in-group self concept is one of an oppressed community that is inherently legitimized in its beliefs and behaviors due whichever social metrics are taken to be true and qualifying. This self-identification of marginalization is binary and absolute, and comes from within the in-group itself. That being the case, the out-group is necessarily regarded as the oppressor.

According to large swathes of the trans/LGBT community, women, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender people, and nonbinary people are all part of the in-group. Keep in mind this is just from a political/populist standpoint–I’m not referring to gender or sexuality as social and personal identities, but rather in how they are turned into political signifiers.

The out-group is of course straight, cisgender people–primarily straight, cisgender men. This puts trans men in a difficult spot. Our status as trans people puts us in the in-group, but our manhood/malehood puts us in the out-group.

Populism trends toward extremes. In this case I am referring to extremist misandry. Men are firmly outside of the LGBT in-group, unless they posses certain caveats such as being gay, bi, ace, trans, etc, which puts them back into the in-group.

Even still, the LGBT community is uncomfortable with traditional manhood. I believe this is why we have seen such a stark rise in the emasculation of trans rhetoric.

Trans femininity and trans women are celebrated and encouraged. Trans masculinity is not afforded the same treatment, particularly with regard to trans men. Our masculinity and malehood is diminished so that it may be more palatable. We are infantilized, so that our manliness is softened into boyish qualities. The terminology we use that explicitly establishes our association to men and maleness has been overruled by generalized umbrella terms like “transmasc” or “queer”, which provide plausible deniability toward our identities as men. (I have nothing against transmasc people or identities; I simply disagree that it is appropriate to lump transmasc people and trans men under the same ontological banner).

I have been in real-life social settings where people who are very aware of my identity as a trans man will go on to decry men, say how terrible men are, etc. But of course, I don’t count. Because I am not like the “real” men from the out-group. I’m trans; my masculinity is different, it’s other-ed, it’s subversive.

But as soon as our transitions reach their stride and we pass as male, the more we resemble the out-group. The better and safer we’re able to assimilate into manhood, our positions within the in-group become uncertain.

I am a binary, bisexual, stealth trans man in a straight relationship. I do not feel that the mainstream LGBT or trans communities reflect my needs, beliefs, or concerns. For all intents and purposes, I might as well be a heterosexual, cisgender man. And in truth–that was the goal of my transition (and a side effect of marrying a woman, lol). But achieving that goal cost me my place in the larger trans community, as it no longer serves to represent people like me, too.

I feel like I’m stuck between two worlds. There is no place for my manhood/maleness in the trans community, and there is no place for my trans identity in the cisgendered, general society.

That’s it for now. I’m interested to see whether anyone else feels the same.

ETA a couple of notes:

I think this stuff can be expanded upon into a discussion on the schism between trans people who intend on subverting/abolishing gender roles, and those who seek to assimilate into them. I’ll write that eventually too.
I would also add that another forced term on trans men, like transmasc and queer, would be AFAB which puts us in the same league as women, nonbinary people (transmasc or otherwise, i.e. totally disconnected from masculinity).

It's unfortunate and a bit saddening to see older terminology get phased out of the larger FTM/transmasc community.

As ideas change and the community grows, it's understandable that we need to extend how it is defined to accommodate a broader gradient of gender identities. But it feels like in doing so we've neglected to preserve the specific context, philosophy, and history that came before us. I don't see it here in this instance, but I've been "online" to differing degrees for nearly two decades, and witnessed a lot of exhausting discourse surrounding the subject on multiple platforms.

I've had IRL experiences as well. But one experience stuck out to me in particular that illustrates what I'm getting at.

I got to an LGBT clinic for HRT. The staff is all lovely. But one day I was discussing what surgeons are in my area for top surgery. My PCP pulled up a clinic and showed me their top surgery page. It was titled as something like "FTM Reconstructive Surgery." My PCP scoffed dismissively and made a face and said, "I hate that word, FTM--I wish people would stop using it."

I didn't object at the moment, but inside I felt extremely crestfallen, hurt, and sad. I love using the term FTM to describe myself, and seeing it used by others is likewise affirmative for me. Highlighting the explicit transition/journey from female-to-male is the most accurate and descriptive label for me. It feels comfortable, correct, and contextual.

It just makes me sad that the terminology I prefer, which has such a strong historical background, is almost considered outdated or even offensive. I understand that it isn't broadly inclusive like transmasc, but I dislike how it's been replaced/sidelined by some, as if it is no longer relevant or appropriate.

I haven't been active in trans spaces online for years, but as I come back into things I want to make a point to describe myself how I see fit and emphasize the terminology and history that is so important and affirming to me. I hope to find other FTMs who still identify with the label as well. I feel like there is an instinct to over-correct and downplay our own attachments to certain labels/ideologies--but it is okay to want to be firm in how we view ourselves and our gender identity/transition as something independent from within the larger transmasc lexicon.

I'll probably end up writing a long essay about this one day, but for now this post will do haha.

The past year or so I've started trying to find a balance between passing as stealth and being authentic in myself/identity.

I was quite effeminate as a child; I didn't realize I was trans until puberty hit and I was suddenly a Girl TM. As soon as I was expected to "pick a side" so to speak and become a woman, femininity no longer felt safe. Neither did masculinity for obvious reasons. Both triggered immense dysphoria.

I spent several years in adolescence and well into post-adolescence unable to express myself fully. I didn't feel comfortable being feminine or masculine. As I started my transition once I was an adult, my masculinity developed and became my own, something unique to me. But I struggled with my femininity. As I grew more confident and comfortable with myself, I started rediscovering parts of my personality, interests, hobbies, etc that had been stifled for so long. Deep inside I held femininity that I yearned to express, but I couldn't jeopardize my transition or passing.

As time went on and I started passing more this conflict started easing. For the past year or so I feel like I've truly been able to pass 100% stealth, and with that I've finally felt like I could afford to be feminine again.

I've been growing my hair out for the past 2 years and it's quite long now. I've figured out a hair care routine and I love it. I've been more open about feminine interests. I LOVED Hello Kitty as a kid--just recently I bought a men's Hello Kitty hoodie from Walmart and I wear it all the time around the house. I even went to the grocery store in it! That was nerve wracking, but felt good. I've also started painting my nails again.

It's ironic how the more masculine I am, and the more male I become physically, the more I'm able to express my femininity.

I always joke that if I were born cis, I don't think my childhood interests would have changed much. I liked playing with dolls as much as I liked playing with Pokemon. I would have still watched the same Barbie movies on VHS every single day. But I would have done it as a boy, then man--from a place of manhood and maleness. As I transition, I'm slowly but surely achieving the basis of maleness I've always needed, from which I can express my femininity safely, confidently, and joyfully.
