    I keep my personally-identifiable social media completely distinct from my openly trans social media. I’m not out IRL and I’m in a part of America where it would be dangerous too dangerous for my comfort level to come out / present as trans so for the moment I’m just doing the most good I can with my cis-persona, and I’ll come out when it feels safe to do so.

    EDIT: not to imply that there is anywhere in America where it’s not dangerous.
