General
deep stealth
What does deep stealth mean?
Stealth turned all the way up. Where ordinary stealth might mean colleagues and acquaintances don't know but your spouse and closest friends do, deep stealth means the history is hidden from everyone, sometimes even intimate partners. Total privacy, no exceptions. A heavy thing to carry, and a deeply personal choice.
"He's been deep stealth for fifteen years; not even his wife knows."
Origin
Trans community slang; an intensifier on 'stealth'.
