I know nussink!
No way. Being trustworthy is one of my cardinal rules.
I am sad to announce that someone, who evidently did not post a reply, has voted yes at this point.I hope they somehow misunderstood the question.

no no hell no
I love being a girl
It remembers me another very intelligent question :
"Are you dishonest ?".
The NO won with 99.999 %, a dictatorial score.

I can't imagine a scenario where I would out anyone.

Never - even if we fell out and hated each other.
I voted no...
However there would be a possible exception.
If a CD I knew, even a friend, was in a position of power and involved in making choices that harmed CD rights, like voting for anti-transgender legislation or if said person was recently involved in the harrassment, bullying or assault of another transgender person to help keep their cover.
In that set of circumstances they lose their right to my silence by abusing the rights of others.
It's also worth bearing in mind that genuine accidents do happen, it's the risk of shared secrets, some aren't as skilled at keeping them as others.
I would only choose to out another CD if they were directly complicit in the harming of other transgender people (and, grant you someone could be caught up in a piece of group violence and be too scared at the time to intercede... not everyone can be heroes... but then I'd ensure they went to the police as a witness or out they go!) or put themselves in a position of power and authority and then contributed directly and knowingly to transphobia or anti-transgender discrimination.
The outing of Ted Haggard was for example a very moral act.
No way....would never do that to a friend. I take friendship seriuosly and is important to me. It is a pleasure and a honor to have friends.
I can't believe that someone voted 'yes'... infact, shame on you Linda3, dang newbies, who haven't posted, but will vote on polls just because you think you're anonymous? well think again, YOU'RE NOT!!! You should be ashamed of yourself...

Missing my Libra babe Sherlyn, I hope she's rocking up there with the angels
Missing our Rianna, doesn't seem right, gone to early, hope she's partying with Sherlyn
Definitely a big NO! I'd be horrified if it happened to me. I'm glad the culprit who voted yes has been revealed. Disgraceful behavior........
Linda3,
Please remind me not to tell you any of my details
I assume you have no idea of the devastation you could cause by your actions
Loss of employment, divorce, refused access to your own children
When you have sat and talked someone out of Suicide because of being outed
I would like to see how you would have voted then
Tell me please why you think outing someone is a good idea
Linda3,
I just hope it never happens to you.
What people do is their own business and it's not up to anyone to go telling others.

Thanks for all the responses.
I simply wanted to show that, although everyone's intentions were good when addressing Stevie B's thread at http://crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86756 the poll shows that it's quite doubtful that Stevie's CDing friend would out her as some appear to have implied.
Only my opinion, of course.
I could be wrong, I guess, if that friend is Linda3(who was a troll, apparently).

If a friend of mine CD'd and told me about it, I would love to be able to tell her about me. If she was in the closet like me I do not think she would share the info. It seems like we'd be able to offer mutual support to each other.
There is just no way I'd breach someone's trust like that knowing how I'd feel it they did it to me , no way.
Not only NO.... But Hell No!!!!!

Everyone who said no FAILED the test.Did anyone actually read the question? It said "how many WOULD". It is typical that everyone chimes in anyway to say they wouldn't. The same thing happens when I try to plan an event. 10 people respond immediately to say they can't make it when all I asked is who could make it. With that said, I will not post my answer. I think you know how I feel.

No way. I wouldn't consider myself a 'friend' to anyone I did that to
Gen, the poll question is:Everyone who said no FAILED the test.

Would you out a CDing friend to others?

9 out of 10 Dr say I'm sane. The 10th one never made it to the hearing. Did you know that California has drop bears ?
First a groom then a bride. Never again.
This posting has stirred a lot of emotion. Allow me to offer a new dynamic that may cause some people to rethink.
What if you meet a CD who is a politician or famous person and whose positions you vehemently disagree with, and possibly despise that individual. Compound that with the potential of destroying that politician and getting some money for it.
Would anybody be brave enough to admit that would be tempting?
Hell no, my old boss is a CDer, he doesn't know I know. I could have seriously paid him back once when he pissed me off.
I wouldn't out an enemy, or a friend? What goes around, comes around..
