I've been here for ages. Until recently, I thot "being outed" meant your family, relatives, or non trans work folks or friends knew u dressed? I go out a lot to large T events in vanilla venues. I have countless T friends, their spouses, and a few men that attend those events.

But, I think of myself as a closet dresser because I don't go out dressed near where I live. No one, except my immediate family, knows I dress. So, I'm out to them, but no one else. I do not consider myself being outed to the 1000+ strangers that have seen me out dressed. Because they don't know anything about my male persona!

Yet, I'm reading more and more posts here like, "I outed myself to the SA!". If the SA knew who u were in drab? Then, I would agree. But, many of these SA's, etc. that dressers say they r outed to r strangers!

Do u consider it "outing yourself" when the person is a stranger!?
