thinking about entering a jess phase

Occasionally someone will ask me if I plan to stealth in a new job or a new friend group. I feel like my answer to this is simple but complicated. My Jewish ancestors who came to this country eschewed a lot of the things that made them who they were to be accepted into "whiteness." Something I now lament. I understand that they wanted the privileges and safety it offered, but often I wonder how much of my cultural heritage was given up for that. I feel similarly about being accepted into "cisness." If I don't need to for immediate safety, I'm unwilling to give up what makes me who I am just to disappear into a hegemony. I may not immediately disclose that I am trans, but I will never, ever, claim to not be.
