Not QT, but trans. I think I’m okay with it. I assume those of us who are under the radar wouldn’t be any more and would be expected to come out as trans. Is that correct? It does make me a little nervous and it would change things if I had to be out, but it’s less scary if neutral spaces would be there and it would help trans people in general, so I’d probably say yes. I don’t care at all about being called a transwoman instead of a woman.

Out of curiosity, what is wrong with being out as trans if there’s sufficient protections in place?

Maybe nothing. 🤷‍♀️ For me personally, I’m just a little nervous about it because it would be new. I worry that people might treat me differently and it would be othering. I’d have to tell friends, coworkers, and others who I’d known for years and I’m not sure how they’d react.

Ahh I see. I think I knew coworkers didn’t know, was unaware that friends and other people you’re close to don’t know.

I know that feel. I am not coming out unless needed or it was seen by others too. As I don't want to be "the lesbian" or "that lesbian", it is not what my personality is, it is just what my sexual orientation/attraction is, nothing more, one of most boring parts of me, but sometimes people are just instantly starting to think with stereotypes or making bad jokes.
