Identity Disclosure, Outing & Denial of Identity

Identity Disclosure, Outing & Denial of Identity

Do not reveal or threaten to reveal another person’s sexuality, gender identity, transition history, religion, disability, ethnicity, immigration status, or similar sensitive identity information without permission.

Do not pressure members to prove an identity, disclose medical details, display their body or voice, or answer invasive questions. Community participation is not consent to personal examination.

Good-faith mistakes should be corrected without spectacle. Deliberate outing, repeated denial of identity, or disclosure intended to expose someone to family, employers, authorities, or harassment is severe misconduct.
