Yeah, I don't know. On the one hand it would be nice to get feedback, but on the other hand I worry. What I'm really afraid of is that someone anti-lgbt will see it and be like "kill the beast" or I'll get some weird stalker. Honestly, I'm not cut out for self defense in that situation, so I don't know. And I do feel like I have to be stealth in the future, though I worry how practical it will be in the end. It's such a heavy secret to keep, and it's not like those who know have been so quiet about it. I guess in the end most people that may recognize me will either already be out of my life or they are currently in it and thus probably know or suspect what's going on. In any case, any photos I would put up would be only for a short period, so hopefully that would minimize issues. I'll have to ask my therapist what she thinks. I just would hate to have people think of me poorly or know I'm trans. And I share so much here that it wouldn't be hard to guess who I am. We'll see.
As for people being on Susan's, I think there are a million reasons they could be coming on here. Some people may just be curious about us or know someone who is trans. Sometimes I feel like my posts have been read by people in my life. I may just be paranoid, but sometimes I notice there are more guests on some of my posts than most of the other ones around here. It makes me wonder, though paranoia is probably more likely, lol. In any case, the site has a lot of views that I'd be shocked if transgender people are the only ones lurking. My guess is we may not even be the majority of viewers.
Keep up the responses because I do appreciate everybody's thoughts.
