This is for US Ladies, full time only (it will be obvious why in the question). No politics!
We see our environment changing. Without getting political, I sense most feel it is getting more adverse. So the question is, how out were you as far as being a transgender individual before, lets say, last fall, and how out are you now or are you moving to a different level? In other words are you advocating more? Have you stopped telling people you are trans? Are you relocating to start over where only someone investigating your past would know? I sense some might be pulling back and others may be rearing up for the fight, so I am interested in everyone's thoughts on how out they are.
So for me, I made a decision right about two years ago. The choices, live a life as a woman without talking about being trans, or advocate and volunteer. I choose to advocate and help run an organization (later two). I am still doing that and would be lying if I hadn't sat down late last year and thought over my involvement and exposure. But I still easily landed on "I am in". I still am feeling the recovery from surgery, so my involvement hasn't totally ramped up to pre-surgery levels, but I am almost there and am debating being more vocal and hands-on. One of my thoughts has always been that visibility educates people and then we become normalized in their mind. If we pull back, then that "normalization" starts to go away and we will lose significant ground. So if anything, my change from last year will be looking at having a more vocal impact.
