[SIZE=4] Yesterday I was reading like another sisters thread and was so shocked as well as so totally saddened by what she wrote. It seems she had made the full journey to womenhood including the SRS part of it. Obviously she continued her membership here and did not abandon her other sisters. I'm sure she had made good friends and felt secure amongst her peers. She had then went out in the world as the full women that she is and met a guy with whom she had like "clicked". OMG, life is good. My dream is being realized or wutever, finally. Arraignments were made to meet in person or wutever, but the guy somehow took it upon himself to Google her name before the meeting. Long story short, some of her posts or other reference appeared from this site and upon clicking that reference the guy was brought right here. Don't know how far he was allowed in but of course the whole thing went south and she has now been downgraded to a "friend maybe" or worse and of course I can only imagine how tore up she is and depressed inside. To go through all the c**p of simply becoming ourselves and then have this happen. I was so in shock at what happened and at such a loss for words to try to comfort her, I just let it be. Nothing can possibly comfort someone in this sort of betrayal.
Anyway I then typed my name into Google and some stuff came up which I was familiar with from before and had already done a small limited amount of damage control or wutever on anyway. BUT.....imagine my surprise when a reference to a post from like a week or so before, the only one of thousands I have read or in this case responded to on this site over the last 3-4 years, appeared with my first ever "edit" along with the administrator/moderator that had performed said edit. I clicked the reference and was instantly transported to this site to that post. Of course there were all the other posts in that thread that could compromise the contributors, but scrolling down to mine I then clicked on my picture and was instantly taken to my profile. There was my picture as well as ability to access all my previous threads and posts as well as all my friends pics and availability to go to their profiles. I'm not like sure if just anyone could go beyond my profile who is just a "visitor", but obviously they can get plenty of info as per that poor sister's dilemma.
Although I am like so totally 100% out or wutever, I am now like seriously at a loss of what to do concerning this. I feel betrayed as I have always been fully honest and upfront in this site as I felt safe here and amongst my sisters and all their innermost secrets. If a admin/moderator is reading this....well please tell me why this one "edited" post or any posts here hit Google or worse yet every other Yahoo,Hotmail,twitter or wutever all cyber crap out there??? Sadly now I guess I'll have to go and change my avatar into a meaningless cartoon or wutever [/SIZE][SIZE=4]and post guarded info, in other words...go into the closet or hiding which I've never done , neither of which is an heartfelt option with me. I don't and never had hidden anything in my day to day life except on a need to know basis, decided by me alone. What others say behind my back is beyond my control, but at least I doubt that it's out there in cyberspace or wutever.
On another note, I'm also listed in Google as a member of a local live steam railroad club, where I am totally out as a pre op TG/TS and accepted as the girl I am, but it puts out a public newsletter which I knew was fair game and that now explains where some sleeze ball collection agency got that phone number to bug them about how to contact me regarding some charged off credit card thingie. The club of course told them it was none of their business to give out member info. Geez I'm like sooo totally pi**ed off right now.
So let it out ppl........even though we are educated about putting stuff out there, identity theft,scammers,schemers,hackers...all of it...would this like not be the last place those of us trying to fully be and share ourselves supporting this community would expect to be outed?
