Posting pics and having a 2nd Facebook account

[Launa]

I know there have been a lot of threads lately about your real Facebook page and posting pics en femme, coming out on it etc... I would like to post pics on this site and have a 2nd facebook account like some girls do but my SO would find that risky.
Have any of you that have a second Facebook account had any problems or troubles from setting it up and putting yourself out there or even on this site?
Have you ever had people be able to somehow track you down on the computer, show up to your work and yell out hey there's the crossdresser or just cause you a lot of grief? You know what I mean. Lol

That is interesting...I never thought about having another facebook account! Very interesting! My GF says I am OCD about CD, but it just is a burning desire. I wish I had a least one friend I could text and talk "girly" to!.... ugh.

I have a few alter-egos on Google+ and I'm also on Flikr. I don't know if I'll do another facebook account, but that's mostly because I'm trying to see if Google+ will take off over the next year.

No one has "tracked me down" yet, but I also don't friend my alter-egos.

[S. Lisa Smith]

I have two accounts, so far so good.

[Beth Wilde]

I have 2 FB accounts, my femme one is friends with my male one, nobody has noticed.... Or if they have, they haven't said!

I have two accounts, so far so good.

I just put up a Facebook page for my CD self just about a month ago. The first thing I did was to go through all the privacy settings. I then double checked them by searching from another computer, logged in on a differant account.
IF someone 'accidently' finds my page, there is nothing but my profile pic to see. If they can sort out it's me from that fuzzy photo, then they're pretty observant anyway and may have all ready figured it out.

Having said that, in just over 3 weeks, I have a small cadre' of Friends and the page has all ready been influential in my having just attended my first CD/TG event.
My SO shared some of your partners concerns but if you get it set up right, you're pretty well insulated.

I agree that having two FaceBook accounts is risky. That's why I only have one... Karren Hutton... mater of fact my male side has next to no net presence except professionally on Linked-in. Makes life so much simpler. Everyone on Facebooks knows I a crossdresser and I have a ton of friends. Mostly non-tg ones. More hockey friends than anyone else...

I don't get why people need one Facebook account, let alone two!!!

[GeminaRenee]

I've never had a problem with mine. I also don't friend my male & female accounts, although I do have a couple of privileged mutual friends...

[PretzelGirl]

Clear sailing for me so far. Have some interesting "1 degree of separation" situations and nothing has happened. My guy page has friended a good friend who friends other CDs. One wife from my Tri-Ess group is friended to Sue and my wife and daughter.

I go with setting my security high and pretty much not friending anyone I haven't run into somewhere else. No security breaches and no guys posting inappropriate comments or pictures on my wall.

That's easy... some of us are two faced!

[gabimartini]

That's funny, Lee! Guess every CD is guilty as charged... lol, facebook accounts or not!

[Edwina]

I have two as well and have not had any problems yet.
None of my friends on either book have contacted me on the other but I am very conservative (read paranoid ) about who I "friend".

[Renee W]

I don't do Facebook (or twitter or MySpace).

As far as posting pictures here, I came to the conclusion that the only people who would see them are other CDers, so if someone came up to me and said I saw your picture on this site, they would only be outting themselves at the same time.

Sorry Ashley-Marie, I may have quipped too soon.... I'm .au, your employer has to fight uphill to get rid of you.

Hope I haven't upset you.

I trashed my male account all together. Happy having just my CD account.

[Ashley_Marie]

I trashed my male account all together. Happy having just my CD account.

Well I can't trash my male account for the single reason I am a business owner in a small town, less then 15k population. I knew a business owner that did sold lingerie and did lingerie shoots for their customers. They got a bad rep in town and since dropped the photography side of the business.

Thats why I keep 2 facebook accounts. I associate my male account with my business. Appearances when your a business owner, or even if your not, can be damaging to your reputation. Shoot with Missouri being an At Will state, your employment is at the will of the employer and he or she can fire you for anything they want as long as its not illegal. So at least for me its better to have 2 accounts.

[April_Ligeia]

I have a second facebook account but stopped doing anything with it when I joined this forum. IMO, this is better.

[crusadergirl]

I have a second account as well bad news for me people at work found out about it. Are they think the pic was of me. So i have been questioned alot at work about it. People can track you too easy on there it sucks.

[elizabethamy]

I have been afraid to let Elizabethamy post pictures and get friends on the facebook account she demanded. I always use the "private" setting on my browser, but of all the sites I visit, the only one that stays in the history without having to be femanually deleted is...facebook. So I guess I just can't trust that it's safe. Having said that, I dream of a day when I no longer need it to be safe. Good luck, everyone!

[Annaliese]

Just make sure that you don't connect the two what i mean is if you have a fem e-mail account do not e-mail you drab account. I did this and Facebook connect the my two Facebook by the e-mails. So have separate e-mail and never connect the two, never e-mail your self.

[kaitlincd]

I've had 2 accounts for years with absolutely no problems!

[lmildcd]

I tried to set up a facebook account for my CD side, but ran into a problem. I couldn't get through all the input screens. I'm just content to leave Lennette in here. I'm not sure if I want anyone to accidently find out about my other side.

[Madilyn A.]

I too, have two accounts. No problem as yet, and I hope it stays that way. I have not friended myself, and also use two user accounts on my computer, one for him and one for her.

[AmarilloStephanie]

I have considered opening a second account, but I too am a business owner and the risk just isn't worth it to me. So I'll just keep it here on this site...more fun anyway!
