How to hide in plain sight as a trans guy

Also known as ‘going stealth’

So you’re barely pushing 5.417 feet tall and still stubbornly wanna get away with the clean-shaven look?

Worry not, my sprightly gents: you have options! Contrary to popular belief, you can go totally underground in five easy steps. Neither the virtueless bigots nor the virtue signalers will know what hit ‘em!

Step 1: Be born with a badass big nose

You were probably some statue of Athena before, but now you’re, like, all the other gods (and probably all the emperors and shit, too.)

So, flaunt that Greco-Roman excellence like the badge of honor it is. I mean, if you rearrange the letters in aquiline (and maybe add or remove a few here and there), you get masculine. Coincidence? I think not.

Just look at that; obviously we are twins.

How could a real life Roman Patrician possibly not pass?

Step 2: Give yourself the worst name possible

If you want to keep it subtle, the standard advice is to:

• Use the name your parents would’ve picked anyway if you were born a boy
• Use a name that topped the baby name lists in the year you were born
