Passing and concealment

The strategic or necessary hiding of aspects of identity—whether race, sexuality, gender, class origin, or disability—to navigate systems of discrimination or survival. Passing and concealment operate across a spectrum from deliberate choice to relentless pressure, raising urgent questions about authenticity, safety, and the psychological cost of living as an edited version of yourself.
