How to Ask my parents to get rid of my old photos?

[XxCosmicEvan]

Iv'e been wanting to ask my mother to take down my old photos in my house because if i do start taking T i don't want people outside in the world or family to see me as that anymore. But i am moving soon i hope maybe this coming spring? And i don't know if asking for this would be rude or if they'd even accept it i don't know how to get it across to them and back when i was questioning i did ask my aunt to do it but she wouldn't. I don't know how to get across to family that these pictures bother me because i'm not that person anymore and that part of my life was very bad. Any suggestions? Also if i do decide to leave it how it is then how do i personally get over the thought in my mind people will see that and constantly connect me to them? (A few months ago i let this slide i don't want to anymore but maybe i'm a jerk for saying that)

Well they are memories of you I imagine your mother holds quite dear. If they distress you by all means have a chat with her about it but maybe have a bunch of new photos of yourself that she can replace them with.

Of course but there not even memories there just who she wanted me to be i don't remember a photo on that wall where i had a choice to wear what i wanted or be who i wanted. I don't remember a photo on that wall where there wasn't some kind of argument and most of them are my teenage pictures from middle school to highschool.
My baby photo's i don't mind them, but that's a good idea i might ask her to replace them with newer ones but i still think the way my mother is that's going to create trouble sadly.

I understand your point, and you can certainly ask, but remember those pictures are her property and her memories. I really like the idea of offering replacement photos.

I would be careful with approaching your mother about that, she will probably be very upset.

I didn't take too many photos beyond a young age. Was not a fan of being photographed. And in the younger ones, you can't tell that I'm not a little boy in a hair metal band, so it's all good.

For the older photos, I bought my folks a nice photo album and asked if they would mind putting them away. I explained how they made me feel, and we walked around the house to each photo and decided on whether or not it went in the book instead of being on display. For the most part, they ended up in the book.

They do have a big family photo from when I was around 14 or 15 in the upstairs hallway that I didn't ask them to take down. No guests are ever invited up there, so it didn't make sense to ask. Every other picture was in the living room or dining room.

Advice: Ask gently, be considerate, and be willing to compromise on a solution.
