I have. I remember when I did it too. It was Easter Sunday when I was twelve or thirteen. My dad, Who by the way is the pastor of the church, made the whole family go with him as he does every Sunday. I at the time I hated god for making me be born male so that night I grabbed a pair of my mothers scissors and scratched out all the face that had once belonged to me. Am I just crazy or have any of you done it?

also it was never revealed that I had done it.

You will hard pressed to find pictures of me in my previous form I avoided cameras like the plague and did my best to destroy any evidence of a photo that did get taken.

Most of the ones that exist are baby photos, or toddler photos. I don't remember that part of my life and the little girl in those photos doesn't even feel like me, so it doesn't bother me.

Their are only a handful of pictures of me as a kid and young teen and I have the rule of - if you want to keep these "memories" I don't want to see them and I don't want anyone else to see them, they are memories I would rather forget.

Any picture of me do not exist in my life anymore.  I used to avoid cameras like the plague.  The only ones that I allow are of me, now.

when my mom made me where dresses for my school pics, i would take them and tear them into little bitty pieces. since i've gotten older, i avoid cameras and have deleted all my photos of myself.

I want to go and destroy all my old pictures from when I was a kid, but I'm pretty sure I would get in a lot of trouble. I hate it when my dad gets out the old family pictures and shows them to other families and says "There's Aaron (my real name), when he was still a happy kid." I guess it would be best to first ask him if I could have them...

The problem is am529, gosh Iv little or no pre transition photos, just a few baby pics from long ago, I avoided cameras like the plague, it is nice to have a record of my transformation which I don't really have, I hated being an ''ugly boy'' then that all changed when I transitioned, I loved getting my picture taken, I would get lovely comments on being a really pretty girl. At family occasions my Mam loved showing off pictures of her pretty daughter, but it wasnt always like that, if I seen an old school pic of myself I think Id cringe, 1st 16years of my life was such a waste, I don't want any reminders.

I just tell people I was a little butch as a kid. I hate my more recent male pictures because I put on some weight and my eyeglasses were a male design.

I've never done it but I don't own pictures like that. My parents are the ones with them. If I had them in my hands though I'd just delete them. Since my parents own them there's not much I can do with them. I just hate it when they show other people the pictures though...that ticks me off

Old photos my X has already destroyed. Since I am a dedicated crossdresser a camera is a must. It seems common among some of us. This need to take alot of photographs. Maybe we are merely a bunch of vain bitches. Who knows.

Susans joke about crossdressers changing a light bulb. One to change the bulb and another to take the photos.

I avoided cameras as much as possible and still do, well as much as I can for some of the things I do anyway. LOL. My mom still has my old pics out and they do not bother me at all, figure the fam will go and get them updated one year. Plus if someone I am seeing cannot handle my past well then I do not have time for them.

yup i use to do it alot more when i was younger but now im okay at looking at photos of myself
