Why choose to be faceless?

If these people care so much for the T community why not be open about their 'sexuality' or whatever you would like to label it? Whilst people hide behind closed doors no change is being made to the T community to brake down any stigmatism.

If you were to be open about it you would clearly see that not that many people care; if they do, you should sack them off, they're clearly not worth knowing for being small minded bigots.

Jus' my two cents worth for today, it was nice to theorise something which wasn't criminology.

The approach to breaking down stigmatism suggested by your post is, to be quite blunt, tremendously na?ve. While it is true that individual actions can make a difference, the ramifications of "outing" one's self on a board such as this can be quite negative. To suggest that "not that many people care" is so binary, as you do, is to suggest that people put themselves in serious potential danger, depending on their personal circumstances (location, job, family, and so on).

While I celebrate the fact that you have posted your face, I let my words suffice. Meanwhile, I get to choose the very substantial ways in which I play a role at my employer and in my city to help overcome discrimination against trans people.
