How do you i post a picture of myself on here?

[hiddengirlsheila]

I want to show a picture of myself but i cant seem to figure out how to do it or find the place where you are allowed to post a picture of yourself, can anyone help me out? Thank you in advance.

I'm assuming you mean how do you post a picture in a thread. Upload your photo to an image sharing site (I use imgur) then use the display link for message boards and cut and paste it into the thread.

[hiddengirlsheila]

Thank you. I'll try imgur then. Does anyone want to see my picture though? Note that i haven't transitioned yet but i think my face and hair is feminine. I sort of want to know what other people think.

Posting pictures is liberating, I say go for it.

[hiddengirlsheila]

I got to say, i am kind of nervous about it though. I hope people don't think i'm ugly or something but just keep in mind i haven't gone through transitioning yet.

Honey,
Post away.

You should have seen me pre-transition - now that was scary!!!!!

Now I'm just terrifying

[hiddengirlsheila]

But i haven't went through transition and surgery yet.

Neither have I

The thing is, i don't want people to view me as a man on here. Since i haven't transitioned yet and i put a picture of me up on here, they might start to regard me as a man. That isn't something i want to happen because it will hurt me. Seriously, some people wouldn't believe i am a transgender because of the fact i haven't transitioned yet, which is not true. I am a trans and a woman.

You don't need to worry about that. It doesn't matter what you look like. People here know you're trans and I can't see anyone considering you male or treating as one.

Same for many of us, you don't have to worry about that.

This is one of the few places on the planet you don't have to worry about that happening in the slightest!

Ultimately though, all that matters is if you are comfortable posting it and if it is something you want to do.

(Oddly, or perhaps not so oddly given the circumstance, I was more comfortable posting a picture of myself even as I am pre-transition dressed in female clothing than I have ever been posting a picture of me dressed as male. As in I never willingly did the latter, but I've posted quite a few of the former now. )

There is absolutely no reason to post a picture if you do not wish to. Do remember to protect yourself and your identity. This is not a closed forum and any pictures you post maybe available on the internet for others to see.

Your security and wellbeing is paramount at all times and that is your responsibility.

You are most welcome as a friend and a sister no matter if you post a picture or not!!!!

Don't worry about what people will say on this site because all of us have been there at one point in our life or another. If anybody is mean,  that's what moderators are for.

But you may not fully get that mental impression or image out of your heads of my pre-transitioned male state and when i do transition and put a picture up, you still might perceive me as a man. It just has implications to me personally that the more someone gets familiar with my current image, the more they wont accept me being transitioned because that image sticks with you. I dont know if some of you have a photographic memory especially since you dont see me everyday or would know what i look like for a very long time like my dad for instance but i dont know...i'll think about it because even with a feminine face, the masculinity has damaged me and other parts of my body.

You would be very surprised at what a couple of years of HRT alone can do about that.

That is absolutely NOT true!!! No one here will see you as a 'man' at any point. I understand your fear... I'm pre-everything! Though I don't exactly look like a girl - I have a fear that if people here saw me in real life they wouldn't be able to see me as a man. But that's all in your head. But I do get your fear.

Everyone here will just see you as you, a woman. You can be at peace.

It seems you have a desire to upload! If so, go ahead! But remember not to do anything you're not sure of. As others have mentioned, this is a public forum after all. But people use Facebook too, so! But no one will see you as a man. Guaranteed!

Sweetie, no one will think of you as a man at all no matter what you look like. That's one of the wonderful things about this forum! (Also, as I'm sitting here not having shaved in days because of a faulty water heater meaning spending only seconds getting ready in the morning before I'm freezing to death, it would be super hypocritical. )

One of my favorite threads is the Before and After thread. Even without FFS, many of the transformations are so stunning that it's difficult to believe it's the same person. We were all where you are once. One of my therapist told me to my face that I was to masculine to transition. That's real encouragement.

[hiddengirlsheila]

Yes HRT is amazing from what i heard and its covered by most insurance too if you have a decent coverage.

I guess no one will view me as a man then. I dont look very masculine as far as my face goes and my body is not muscular like a macho man or anything but i am overweight but all this can change and be fixed as i apply myself accordingly towards losing weight and transitioning.

I might post my picture here or in the before and after thread, which one would be ideal? I think more people would see my picture in the other thread than this one.

Dena that therapist was horrible, i cant believe they said that. Was it a therapist that specialized in gender studies and transgenders? That's a gruesome thing to say to a transgender woman.
