If (1) it isn’t too late and (2) this is your reason for departing rather than an opportunity for doing something you’d been kinda wanting to for ages, may I suggest that you not leave? Your presence here is valuable and I don’t think one misstep changes that.
That’s an ingenious conjecture, but I don’t think I believe it. We already know Ilya’s LW name is also his real name; repeating that fact here doesn’t make any sense.

(I appreciate that #1 or #2 might well be false.)
I think “I am out myself” here means “my real name is publicly associated with my LW account”, and has nothing to do with leaving the site.
