stealth
Living such that most people don't know you're trans.
Definitions
Living fully in your gender with your trans history kept private, blending into the world as simply a man or a woman. Going stealth can be about safety (dodging transphobia) or just wanting to be seen as yourself without an asterisk. Some keep close friends and partners in the loop; the deeper version tells nobody.
