A post in one of the ftm subs honestly shocked me by how many binary trans men can’t seem to grasp the concept of being stealth any more.

I’ve seen countless non binary people or Non dysphoric not respect being stealth or try to redefine it but to see this problem grow and become the default narrative in spaces for binary trans men, it’s just sad.

Is the concept of being stealth really is too hard for the vocal majority to understand these days?

How the hell can you honestly think you’re stealth if you purposely out yourself to multiple coworkers.

Even if the coworkers are trans themselves, that still would mean none of you would be stealth if you all know each other is trans.

Claiming to be stealth but purposely outing yourself to everyone you know is a trans man around you is just othering trans men even further. It’s just another example of how the trans community doesn’t see trans men as men.

Someone replied

Dude he could have met each of this guys separately, or disclosed to one of them who knew the others. You’re assuming so much stuff of a few lines of text.

That makes it even worse. If you told just one person and they went on to tell other trans people then they just went and outed you.

I’m not even assuming anything. Stealth means you live life passing as a cis man. No one knows you’re trans unless they have to such as a spouse, parents, or are directly involved in your transition such as your T provider. If you are outing yourself to other trans people, especially ones that live near you and consider you a friend, you are not stealth by definition.

But apparently being stealth is actually impossible to point of not even being a thing and I’m not stealth because of this anonymous Reddit account.
