Hello everyone.
I recently read a newspaper editorial about the transgender community and there was a particular part that caught my eye.
I think a statement like this does hold some truth, especially with not disclosing such an identity with close family members and friends. However, I have a differing opinion when it comes to sharing this type of information with the public at large. I'm naturally a private person and there's a lot about me beyond the sphere of gender that I don't readily share with strangers or acquaintances.
What are your thoughts on this?

Quote:Why aren't more transgender people open about their identities? The simple explanation is they fear discrimination, violence and most commonly, rejection by their family and society. If you don't know a transgender person, it's because they don't trust you.
