i have had a pic of me as an avatar, but some time ago i found this one of ranma featuring both characters together and in some way it represents the way i feel now, some times a boy some times a girl.

i don't have issues showing pics of me. i have a few threads on the Picture and video section. Anyway, avatar is something i change from time to time, so maybe next one is another pic of me.

i can understand that some people doesn't like showing their face on the internet. Specially on the beginning you are afraid that somebody you know recognizes you, but as confidence raises i think that most people is less hesitant of showing pics.
