My mention of identification via data mining was primarily directed to those in the "public at large" reading the freely available sections. Folks like bosses, bill collectors, neighbors, church members, etc. If someone with the ability to post (a CD.com member) does the data mining and uses that as adverse information; well that's just "catty". Those sorts will always be with us (unfortunately).
A fully private TS site would deprive those who are questioning their gender identity of one more source of information. This entire site (all sections) is a wealth of "human interest" stories that folks who are unsure of their identity can really benefit from (IMHO). It is WAY better than any of the porn sites or the "hyper religious" sites they will certainly encounter.
