Transition: 2001-2004. Fully stealth since 2002 (had sex reassignment surgery & changed all of my documents). My last transition procedure was voice feminization surgery.

    I think stealth is the wrong word you’re looking for. It implies that you’re somewhere you feel you shouldn’t be, unless that’s how you feel. Maybe a better word would be integrated or accepted. Cheers

      Stealth is the word used by trans people who transitioned and pass but don’t tell people they’re trans.

        I’m not trans so far be it for me to tell them what words to use, but I do feel like stealth has a duplicitous connotation. It makes it feel deceptive.

          It just feels like “invisible” to me. There are pros and cons to being invisible.

          One con is if everyone were stealth, transition would seem scarier because all trans people you’d see out and about would not pass.
