So I’m pretty passable and don’t usually put the trans flag in like my name on socials just cause I’m used to putting my username and that’s it. My brother (ftm) thinks it’s a little weird and misleading since I am a passable trans woman. Is this weird?

Be trans however you want to be and be vocal about it however you want to be. There are no rules to this shit. Just do what makes you happy and don’t hurt others

You’re not required to have a trans flag on your socials

it’s not even necessarily being stealth, it’s just not putting trans flag on your profile.

We shouldn't have to wear a "hi I am trans" label for all the world to see and your brother thinking so is dangerously naive

It's totally fine to want to pass and be stealth. Normal, even, especially in this political climate.

depends on the reason but a lot of people have good reasons to hide it. if you’re hiding it bc you don’t want to be associated with other trans people then that’s problematic, but lots of people do it for safety and to avoid discrimination in public or the workplace

People don’t have a right to that information. Knowing I’m trans is a privilege. Tell any sexual partners and people you want to tell. No one else needs the information
