Now that there's a Picture Section for members only, would you post your pic with you

[Jesse69]

Now that there's a Picture Section for members only, will you post your pic with your face? Some people here are closet cdr's, and when they post pics - they hide or blur their face. I myself did that. But now that there's a pic section that only members and supposedly only other cdr's can see - would you now post pictures of yourself that even show your face? I guess I would show my face now.

Vote on the poll.

I have always showed my full self.
I will now start posting my full pic with face, though I didn't in the past.
I will still keep hiding my face, though I'll post pics of me.
I don't know what I'll do.
I want to stay private and never post a pic of me.

[Wendy me]

i voted #1 but sometimes don't do the face thingy...it all depends on what i feel like.........

[Joanne08]

I have wanted to Post more pictures but I have only small opportunities to x-dress and less time to do photos. I have also just recently got back into my X-dressing again after quite some time off. I'm not afraid of anyone seeing my face but I want to do my photo some justice. I like the idea of the Photo Gallery

[Mx Justina]

I don't want to reenforce the closet mindset as I say that there are reasonable caveats to posting fully-faced...It's always a considered balance at best...where the internet is concerned.

Many of you closet types are worried about discovery by family, spouses, neighbours, or employers...or just simply ashamed to admit personal shame.

I have no such concerns... My only concerns are sexual stalkers, or (particularly) resourcefull home and identity thieves.

My makeup skills are pathetic, and I dont have a good wig. I wouldn't want to do post picture and look like a guy in the dress

Then you can onl get better hun, personally I dont think a closeup will be shown too often of me

[Daphnie-Duck]

Yes, I'll start posting full pics. That is, if anyone really wants to see my face. However, I may still occasionally do pics from the neck or waist down, depending on my whims.

[Fallen Angel]

ever since ive been a member it has always been full pics of my self, good bad or ugly i figure why not xxxxx

[Priscilla1018]

Definately #1 for me.My avatar is me minus beard.

[MarinaTwelve200]

Ever since I realized how drastically different I look in female mode, I never have since had any problem showing my face. :D

I seem to have one of those faces that becomes amazingly different, with just a little help from a bit of makeup and a disguise---Sorta like Lon Chaney. Below are a couple of my MALE characters---looks nothing like my female avitar---and my normal face is just as different from either of them---

So sure Ill show my Fem Face---you just wont see my Male face :D

I have only posted pictures with my face for better or worse.

[carson]

I started out showing only non-facial pics out of fear of discovery, shame and knowing I don't really make a very attractive woman. But then all you kind and encouraging ugly buggers made me feel so right at home I decided...WTF? :D So now I show my face just so I can offend you with my public indecency! :eek: A members only picture section would make me feel more secure, though.

[Deelite]

I feel bad about not showing my 'complete' self, when i post pics, but i love to show you girls my new outfits that i have bought, so if it means headless pics then, that's what i do.

I am pretty new to completely dressing, and i am building up a wardrobe, to start with it's expensive to get everything you want, (must have more shoes!)and wigs and breast forms are the most expensive items that i want. (and boy do i want 'em bad!)

So, as soon as i can get a wig i like, and put on some slap without looking like coco the clown, you will eventually see me completely Dee.

Luv Dee.

[suzi_cd]

I might be posting some pics later today. Not sure how much they will reveal though - it depends on how they come out.

Hi Girls,

I've only ever posted one picture with my face missing and I'll never do it again. Even if your make up isn't much good or you have a poor wig, you should still show everyone the way you are - it's what you are after all.

[gamester_40]

Though I'm new here, I would think that this is an area where hard-and-fast rules might be a little frightening. There is always the risk that a photo can be misused.

You make a very good point in your last sentance. Cds who are out and about have the danger of stalkers and sex fiends, who might be lurking. This is why posting photos should be well thought out. It is easy for the closet CDs, they get dressed at home and stay at home. Then when the closet CD goes out, he is dressed as a man, the fears of a sexual pradator are not with the closeted cd. This very much a concern for Cds who go out, especially at night. There are enough wackos out there, without attracting more from the internet.
Good point Justina.

It's real vexing problem!... The better the CD becomes a expressing his femme identity...the more likely the possibility (or probability) that a couple of "someones" out there, "in the shadows" so to speak, will begin to fixate, or potentially target that visible CD... With the unsuspecting CD becoming a focussed symbol of whatever demons and sexual rages are crawling inside the stalker predators.

However...None of us should become slaves to fear... That's not what our minds are intended for.

---I have the face & head that only a Mother could love!----I have the face,------and head that looks like a German U-Boat commander, -right out of World War II-!!! -------You know, those black and white pics that you see, of old warriors in that war? ------Now, ---I ask you,---WHO would want to see THAT head on a fairly decent-looking body???----------No. For me, -it's only body shots, -thank you! :rolleyes:

So, you are saying that your face is black and white, while the rest of you is in color? :)

[crispy]

Now that there's a Picture Section for members only, will you post your pic with your face? .

you mean there is some guarantee that we can trust all the other members in here? I think not. :thumbsdn:

[Jesse69]

Yeah, I guess I should worry about forum trolls or bad members. One thing I wouldn't want is my picture to be saved, edited, and posted on a porn site.

I wonder, have any fully exposed face showing members had any problems resulting from posting their pics?

I've had one admirer PM me asking if I meet admirers, but I don't do that. It was flattering though.

I agree with both of you on this one. I don't go out (yet :rolleyes: ), and though I'm gradually getting better, I'm still extremely paranoid about posting my pictures all over the internet for various reasons. I know we don't want this place to become too "cliquey", but unless I'm mistaken all it takes to become a member here is a valid email address, so the pitcure gallery as it is now really doesn't protect against those concerns. Again, this may all be a moot point since the process may have changed since I signed up ages ago. :D

I guess all I'm trying to say is that if there was a way to more strictly limit who has access to the pitcure gallery, all it's doing is cleaning up the various other forums, and not fostering a comfortable environment of confidentiality, if that's what we're even after with this. I know something like that would make me a little more willing/comfortable posting pics, at least for the time-being. :o Anyway, I realize I need to loosen up a little, but those are my two cents for whatever they're worth. :rolleyes:

[Sweet Jeanette]

------ :mad: ---ABSOLUTELY, you MUST know what I mean, or are you so young that you do not know what black and white TV is? ------Or, you have never seen ANY of the old pics??? :confused:

Hell No!!!-------NEVER TRUST, on the net!!!

[suzi_cd]

Well my photos from yesterday are so horrible I have no intention of ever putting them anywhere apart from the trash can on the computer. I looked terrible, fat ugly, the makeup looked terrible. I didn't even feel good doing it and the girl who did it for me (a close friend) felt terrible about destroying my "dream"

I have to agree with that. Right now, I am in the same boat, well, actually, I have a wig, but the make up skills........ wait, what do you mean, make up skills, I am so ignorant, I'm not even sure which order to put it on in, and is foundation the same as base, and is base the same as beard cover..... well, one of these days I'll get it all figured out, I hope
