Additionally I don't want to share even trivial stuff like interest in music or movies with everyone. If I do, it is on my own terms. I don't want to share who is in my social circle either. My social media presence is highly curated and shallow for professional reasons (although by being shallow it doesn't contrast other online presences too much).
I hide stuff and that is completely fine and something I want to do. If people are interested, they can ask me.
Anonymity isn't just a band-aid here, it is a tool and I value it quite highly. Nothing to do with equality or advancing rights.
