pics question?

[jamiepabicd]

just a pics question.
as i am "in the closet" i worry that a pic including my face would possibly "out" me.
should i just enhance it to make it so you can't really make it out?
should i crop it so that it is cut off and can't be seen anyway?
or am i just being paranoid?
the only people on here or who have access on here are girls just like me, right?
just want to know.
i really would love to share full pictures. i do not pass but i still love myself and think i'm pretty cute anyway.
please let me know what you think.

if you think you look nothing like your male self then chances are you dont....i would go for it but then i dont care about being outed

If you put your pictures up in the Picture Gallery, then someone would have to join to be able to view that section. But if you put your photo up on the Male to Female section, then anyone in the public can see it whether they are a member or not.

Of course, the same goes for an avatar pic - it can be viewed by anyone if you post in a public forum (MtF, Upcoming Events, etc).

I know that my male look is nothing like my femme self, so I don't worry about it too much. Only you know how your two pics compare - so don't do anything that you feel uncomfortable doing. Start slow, ease into the forum and before long I bet you will be posting lots of pix :)

Unlikely for the reason youu state yourself


the only people on here or who have access on here are girls just like me, right?
so long as you post in the members only section.


should i just enhance it to make it so you can't really make it out?
should i crop it so that it is cut off and can't be seen anyway? No absolutely not. Be proud of yourself. You are what you are. Leave the pic untouched apart from possible lighting changes.


or am i just being paranoid? YES


i really would love to share full pictures. i do not pass but i still love myself and think i'm pretty cute anyway.

Follow the link in my signature to see pics I did NOT post here.

I am proud of the woman I am.

posting in the gallery would have very small chance of outing you, for the simple fact that if they see it, then you have something in common and they are unlikely to out you.

I've posted an anecdote showing that it is very unlikely some one will recognize you on a picure...

is probably unrecognizable to anyone you know. I have them most hesitation about the couple of guy pics around linked to here than the girly ones.

Do what you feel comfortable. You couldpost them a while then remove. If you must obscure, I vote some gentle blurring rather than the Ichabod Crane look.

ive never been out, but i would post pic here no problem i need camera,need to dye my rats nest any help

What are the odds of this happening...someone who knows you, who is not TG and would never be looking for such things, somehow stumbles onto this site, somehow finds one of your posts, and then somehow recognizes you?
