Loneliness of stealthing
I’ve been stealth for about 2.5 years and whilst I don’t in anyway regret it or any part of my transition stealth can be incredibly lonely within the trans community. I have friends like cycle couriers/fixie guys I ride with or like my bfs friend group who are just v normal ppl my age as well but like no one in all these groups is trans and it’s not the end of the world or anything but I sometimes wish I had more trans friends. Being stealth can also be a bit tricky I’ve found in actual trans circles because I’m so assimilated and beyond helping where I can in mutual aid I have near to no connection to a “trans community” I remember attending a diy hrt workshop and donating some sealed syringes (harm reduction) and stuck round to socialising n whatnot and like the few people who I did talk to thought I was either a cis alley or theyfab and sure for like wider society that’s an ideal outcome but choosing to stealth can be incredibly lonely
