LGBTQ+ Issues and Privacy (Please boost)
For everyone that says that #IDontHaveAnythingToHide regarding #privacy, I just want to let you know that I am a #transgender woman, living in the same household as my parents, who are not fans of the #LGBTQ+ community, and I have to hide the fact that I'm #trans because I'm not ready to tell my family who I really am until I am able to move out, where I can truly have a place to take refuge to if they don't accept me for who I am.
There's a lot of privilege in the whole 'don't have anything to hide'. It assumes people aren't out to get you just for being who you are, that you can trust cops and government not to persecute you, etc and so forth.
I live 'loud and proud' because I can't do anything else, not because it is safe for me to do so. And I am lucky and privileged in having more safety than many who can't afford to trust our neighbors or government.
