My parents, T, docs, and some state agencies I work with, one close friend, and friends on PC. My brother has an inkling, as we grew up together, but it has never been discussed; and others in the family are the same way.

I have tried over the years to be more open with friends and coworkers, but have met with terrible results. I even tried again recently with someone I thought I was getting closer too and I will be keeping it to myself for now on. Which is difficult on one hand as I firmly believe education is important, but the preconceived notions that are out there are difficult to sway and balancing this against self-preservation is tricky. I am back to opting for self-preservation.
