But these kinds of secrets about your identity are more intrapersonal challenging, right?

What do I reveal of myself and not?
If I don't reveal this, am I being inauthentic?
One way that I think about these things is if you have an identity that is core to who you are, but it can be stigmatizing.
If it's really core to who you are, it's important that some people know, people close to you, because being known for who you are is incredibly important.
But it also doesn't mean that you have to tell everyone.
So you can be really selective about who you choose to share and not.

It's a campaign.
It's not a one-shot thing.
