Who'd ever thought even your avatar is an emotional part of our journey. While I'd love to look like Eva Habermann and it's a good way to hide even in Susan's place, she's not me. This is me from face app and a look I would be proud to present. Someday I hope you will see the real me.

Thanks for being here on this journey.

@Karen : YES indeed, the Avatars-profile pic is a very important step in presenting yourself here. I will be looking very forward to seeing your updates and your pictures as you continue your transition journey.
Hugs,
Danielle

Congrats. I was addicted to FaceApp at one time. I think it should be required for any new mtf. When you get further along you'll probably not even need it. I don't use FaceApp at all anymore. Another good app is Pretty Makeup. It doesn't change your face structure, but allows you to see what makeup may look good on you.

@Alaskan Danielle @Bari Jo

Thanks for your encouragement.

I hope I did not imply anything against how we all choose avatars. Just sharing this tension I feel to be safe on one hand, and on the other hand, as close to the real or desired me as possible. It feels like a life of purgatory.

Thank you for sharing.

Haven't used Face App much lately but at one point was running just about every pic I had through it. My avatar is from there. Its run through the Hollywood makeup feature but not feminized.
