This is a good question! I can share why I started doing it and it’s a composition of mostly two factors.

The first is not wanting to share more than needed, not wanting to offuscate the narrative. I wanted to share about my significant other and their reaction, our respective genders didn’t influence the story.

The other is that discrimination (personally, I interacted with quite some misogyny online before landing here) is minimized while at the same time reminding people that LGBT+ people are a thing. A sort of double-concealing.
