Why choose to be faceless?

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 te very substantial ways in which I play a role at my employer and in my city to help overcome discrimination against trans people.

I'm not just on about on a website; I'm on about taking the attitude to the streets. I do understand that people must hide to save face but in the grand scheme of things it would be better for people to be out.

I'm just asking anway, not telling.

And to the first post - I'm not a criminologist, I'm studying it.
