Your gonna find this hard to believe because I picked MY avatar very carefully as well, but I DO know exactly what you mean. Having said that, you are not being fair to yourself. Do you think any of us pick or worst picture to represent us? Do you think a GG wouldn't pick out her best picture to represent her? That's not a lie, that's human nature and a perfectly rational and normal thing to do.
You do what you have to, but damned if I'M gonna find one of my less than ideal pics to use for MY avatar! lol
Hi Everyone,
Thank you all so much for your comments and advice. I guess this post is the result of my low self-esteem, which several people have pointed out to me lately. I guess it’s hard to change something that developed at such an early age and was constantly confirmed by the fact that my male persona was never really accepted as a “man”; at least my interpretation of what a man needed to be. Now my male persona is gone, thank God, but this particular quality remains since it never really was based on gender identification I guess. I only hope that the old saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” doesn’t pertain to human behavior patterns as well, so that, with the help of such good friends as all of you, I may be able to change the attitude I exhibit to others.
After all, I would never dress up then go out without a wig and makeup, that would be rediculess, so deception is part of the process by which we live. Regardless, the avatar stays, because you, as usual, were right, it does reflect the Denise I feel inside, pretty, happy, even younger. The next time it is my turn to post pictures, I will post the ones that make me look hot and sexy, only not quite so big. OMG, it’s like looking at my face on a movie screen; still need to learn about this “reducing” thing; too big, too big.
Again, thank you all for your support, maybe one of these days I can grow up to be a real adult like the rest of you. But keep in mind, Denise is only 4 weeks old. I will celebrate my birthday on November 10th for the rest of my life, regardless of whether Tamara Croft changes it on this forum.
I really love you all so much, respect and admire what you all do each day, and have undying graditude for being lucky enought to know you all.

I will no longer live in fear of what might happen if, but decided to live in excited anticaption of what's going to happen when.

you are a very young looking 59:2c:
You will realize as you go along Denise that we can be as much "man" or "woman" as we need to be. In that respect I never limit myself and consider myself a person rather than one or the other. It's nice to have the option in any case and gives us somewhat of an advantage others don't have when you think about it.
Second star to the right and straight on till morning

The other girls have really said it all Denise, we are all struggling to find ways of bringing out our true inner woman and that is why we take so much time over make-up hair and clothes. Having gone to all that trouble, the one or two photos that work - probably out of a batch of dozens - are naturally going to be the ones we prefer and want to share with our friends. (Every girl is entitled to a little vanity!)
Apart from clipping to a manageable size, all my photos are unedited - I really can't get to grips with the intricacies of photoshop! So what you see is genuinely me - BUT there are lots of other photos that will never be selected for posting.
Take pride in those photos that do the inner you justice and continue posting. Truth shines out from within.

Puh-leeze!
If you take 150 pictures and find one that's passable, you're doing a hell of a lot better than some of us. I shudder to think how many pictures have been taken for each one that actually makes it on here.
If none of us were putting on a facade, all these pictures would be of dudes without makeup. The horror! Nobody wants that.
Use whatever avatar you like. Nobody thinks you're a liar.
The good news is that the brain is constantly re-wiring and rebuilding.. so you can change old habits both physical, mental and emotional. There are a variety of ways to do this.I guess this post is the result of my low self-esteem, which several people have pointed out to me lately.

I've had some substantial success dealing with illness-induced anxiety from CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) which has helped a lot of people with depression, anxiety, self esteem and a variety of issues. Also good is that there are self-help books and even free websites like this one http://www.moodgym.anu.edu.au/ that can teach the basic skills of CBT.
denise i'am with holly and knowing you in person you are growing in leeps and bounds

Honey we all do that---absolutly nothing wrong with it---and what are we supposed to do?--Put our worst picture on our avatar photos?? I think NOT. The only time I would be angry about an avatar photo is if a T-Gurl used somebody elses photo and passed it off as her own.

Did you get a good look at my avatar? I am afraid to put up a real picture because I don't want anyone to put two and two together. I can look pretty good all dressed up but I am sure anyone that knows me could see right through the "mask". Some day I will get the nerve up and put a real picture of me on the site, but for know I am just sporty babe and oh how I wish I could look that sexy. By the way, you look great for 59 and you have nothing to be worried about with your avatar, you go girl!
