Hi, All.
Like many of us, I've been a member for awhile, Thanks so much!

i think your answer is right here. if you felt comfortable with your pictures being out there and trusted her, you wouldn't ask the question.

I've done all you say you did: electrolysis, laser, pierced ears.
I'm not a full-timer, or transsexual. I love my femme self whenever can be her, howver I have a strong male identity that I can never let go.
Beng ai girl is part of me, but not all of me. .....hope this helps.

Whether she does, or does not, think you're a female, this would be good for her, and possibly good for you. If she realizes you're trans, all the better for her to show her skills at helping transfolks be all they can be ... if not, you must really pass.

Either way, I wouldn't deceive myself into believing that I'd be unrecognizable all made-up ... plan on being seen by someone you know, and plan on them recognizing you at least enough to question. If you can face up to that fear, you're done asking, IMHO ... if it's something you fear, maybe consider it a little more before acting.

Good luck either way, keep in touch to let us know your decision.

If you will not show US your picture, why would you trust photos to a stranger??

[sissystephanie]

I think Emme gave you the best answer!! We are all your friends and you won't post a picture for us! There is nothing wrong with that!! I don't post a picture either, because I wouldn't want any friends to see it!! Allowing your hair stylist to take photos means a lot of people will see your pictures!! Do you really want that??

It doesn't matter anymore, once she did your brows in a pretty arch, you are out! Look up Carrot Top, on the net, check out his picture. Well done arches, on a man stand out like neon paint does at night! Post or don't post, let her take the pictures and do what ever with them, it's all good. You can't hide your face.

I know, you're right. Let me see if I can change that.

[Scottey1]

I sure appreciate everyone's input.

There's a compromise here. Maybe you can have her shoot the pictures with your camera or her camera but keep the memory chip. You can go to Costco or elsewhere, have them printed, and decide if you are truly recognizable or not. The cost is negligible and the memory chip is in your hands. There are other things that may happen if you sign one of those blanket releases that makes the pictures the property of a person. There's plenty of before and after transformation pictures on YouTube already.

Stephanie:
Brillant suggestion! I like your idea!
