What stands out to me about this secret is that while you say you don't care, it seems like you do--or at least, you seem to assume other people would care.

But who cares? Yes, there are trans people who prefer to be stealth, and that should be respected. But the main problem with wondering if someone is trans is that so often, people act like trans people are presenting themselves as something that they're not, and that if you figure out that they're trans, then you've "discovered" something.

It really shouldn't be that big of a deal. Okay, so some guys in fandom are trans. I do think in some female-dominated fannish spaces, there can be a higher number of trans men than cis men. But assuming guys in female-dominated fandoms are trans is kind of like assuming that someone who uses a lot of British spelling may have grown up in a country that uses British spelling. So what?

You win all of the internets.
