Why do some of the outspoken transactivists have blogs, columns, etc with reams and reams of writing, mostly ranting and venting, albeit rightfully fair and honest, about trans issues and not have one photograph of them on any of their Web pages, not even those for on-line or print magazines?
If you do a thorough search for their name, all you find are avatars or drawings of their head, nothing else, no image, photograph or anything to put a real face, a real person to their voice. One even wrote she would be admonished by ciswomen if she were outed because she stealthfully lives in their circle.
She is afraid of the backlash for being stealth, but yet she stands on the highest podium on the Internet and yells her view on the issues. And while I agree with her on many issues, I find it less creditable she won't show her face or herself.
What is anyone supposed to think, publically anonymously yelling at the world without knowing who she is? Free Speech is fine, but knowing who is the voice behind the free speech is better. Stand up and be counted than hiding behind anonymity of your name.
Because that's what it is, anonymity, no more than someone who uses a fake name or just anonymous to identify themself. Not really because we know you're real, but it's worth considering if the reader can't put a face and person to the voice to truly know it's real.
If you believe in what you say, then show yourself. What do you have to lose?
