Is there any way to obscure one’s address, phone, email in the WHOIS data - similar to the privacy options available through various domain name purchasers (Namecheap, etc.)?
Hi Molly and welcome to the forum! 
When registering a domain name through Micro.blog, the actual registrar is Name.com. And while they offer WHOIS privacy as a paid upgrade*, I’m pretty sure Micro.blog has not integrated that add-on. Correct me if I’m wrong, @manton.
Manton could add support in theory, but I’m guessing it needs work in the backend of Micro.blog to get billing set up with the additional cost of WHOIS privacy. And I don’t know if that’s something he would like to offer.
If this is urgent for you, Molly, the quickest way is probably moving your domain to a registrar that offers privacy for free. In the US, it looks like Porkbun is one alternative (just an example; I’m not affiliated). You could still host your blog with Micro.blog just fine; you would only move your domain.
* This might be my bias as a Swede, but the very idea that you would have to pay extra for privacy is very weird to me. 
To expand on what @sod said, I also don’t like the idea of paying extra for WHOIS privacy. I think we should just bake the extra cost into our pricing so everyone gets it.
If transferring your domain away from Micro.blog is not an option right now, send an email to help@micro.blog and I can manually set up WHOIS privacy for your domain. I’ll work on adding some kind of interface for managing this in the future.

Do you know, I wanted to return to this thread very specifically to thank @manton and @sod. As a trans person, and also just before my realization about that, in my personal life, one of the things I have always struggled with is a sense of not being heard.
The way in which you guys jumped on this - it was a profound sense of being heard. Not just because you understood the request, but because you understood the context as well - why it was so important to me (and to others).
I think you did this simply because it was right. But I want you to know it’s also turned me into a rather enthusiastic Micro.blog evangelist, something I will continue to be. I tell people about this and tell people about how I was heard. Taking off my “me” hat and putting on my “looking at life more coldly in a Machiavellian way” hat, you cannot underestimate the positive sales effect that a – is there a word for the opposite of the Streisand Effect? there should be – but you cannot underestimate what treating someone right at the beginning of their work with you, what it can do for you as a company.
Anyway, this all occurred to me today when I started to listen to your interview with Scott Hanselman, and I wanted to pass it along and revisit here, just so it was explicitly laid out.
Thank you - again.

Thank you, Molly! 
And of course, this very nice post of yours was automatically marked as spam by the system, so I didn’t see it until now. 
The irony!
Thank you so much!
