Trans Issues Group Confidentiality Statement:
Members of the Trans Issues Group agree to respect each individual's right to make decisions about disclosure of their identity, presenting status, membership in this group, and experience shared within the group. Members will not disclose any such information about an individual without that individual's explicit permission, and on a case-by-case basis.

A note on disclosure
While some transgender and transsexual people disclose their trans status to friends, family, and co-workers (or any combination thereof), some do not disclose that information. It should not be assumed that because a few people know of an individual's trans status that everyone in their life knows.

We recognize and respect that choices around disclosure are complex, and will be unique to each individual and their situation.
