I don't pass well or often enough yet for people to think I'm a cismale much, but I do sometimes, congratulations for you there. I know the thing, when I'm on T, and have a cute ginger goatee, then I'm wearing dresses and skirts again!

What does Dharmashanti mean? I recognise the part "Dharma" from somewhere other than your username, but I'm now thoroughly curious. I know stealthness has to be a personal decision, I was just thinking along the lines of it being something that a lot of trans* people hassle other trans* people about *smile* Yeah, I think it’s a pretty awesome name – s’why I picked it.

It's a decision each of us must make and we are free to change our minds whenever we wish. No judgment. BTW, I LOVE your name. JoAnna Leigh Dharmashanti Kelleher Sometimes I’m stealth, sometimes not.

Frustrating. I don't mean to be totally stealth, but in the future I plan to come out to people only after we've known each other for some time, to avoid being seen as a woman. I'll probably be totally out during my activism, though. And maybe when I'm on T, I won't mind being out: if I have a beard, who could see me as a female?!
