Transgender Bodies: Transforming Your Look

Beauty and the Beast



The beast is in our minds...

I hate my chin, knees, skinny ankles and "puppy paws"... but the more I learn to accept my faults and body flaws... the easier it becomes for me to allow the inner beauty to shine through...

Non-Trangender Related

I just saw another clueless and/or paid commentary about how safe fracking is,
so sorry... but I need to inform the uninformed...

Please spend some of your time on the Internet
researching the reality behind fracking
and how many of your elected officials
and supporters are getting paid off
to cover up the known side effects
that fracking is causing to the heath and lives
of your family, friends and millions of your countrymen.

People are dieing... Lives are being ruined...
Millions of us are affected so a few can profit.

We ALL need to know the truth and speak up.

Taking Transgender Cell Phone Selfies - Part 2

OK... Just to prove the point.... 
The photos above were cell phone selfies.
The photo below was taken the same day, with the same make-up.... on a real digital camera.
Nuf Said!
Side notes:
Both were taken with regular room lighting (no flash)
using GE Reveal light bulbs
(they tend to be less yellow than normal light bulbs).

Transgender Cell Phone Selfies


I'm not a big fan of selfies... especially when somebody takes (and posts) several every day.

That being said, I've always been SO JEALOUS of transvestites and transgenders that can take a cell phone selfie that comes out very cute, as a lot of us can't pull that off.

The reason for that is simple. Cell phones have wide angle lenses which tend to overly accentuate the chin, nose and all the other parts that those of us who were born as male do not want to be exaggerated when we are trying to pull off a female look. I highly suggest using a regular digital camera over the cell phone when you are taking pictures of yourself.

That being said, I was just going through my cell phone and noticed this attempt at a selfie. No make-up or pretty clothes... just chillin in overalls on a cold  January morning. I was suprized that it actually came out somewhat cute... so yes... you are looking at the first selfie that I have ever posted (but I still recommend a regular digital camera).

Getting to Know a Transgender on the Internet


If you want to get to know a transgender on the internet, please treat us with a bit of respect. We are not whores trying to get laid. Most of us are just here trying to find a few new friends whom we have something in common with and who will accept us for who we really are.

Also keep in mind that there are a few things that REALLY shock us (that's my attempt at a shocked face to the right), disgust us, tick us off and/or will get you blocked from major websites:
  1. We are NOT interested in seeing a profile and/or photo-stream with a blurred face and  your penis. Please realize that this is also a turn-off for most hetero and non-transgender people as well.
  2. If you "follow" us on Flickr but when we check out YOUR page, it says: "(Username) doesn't have anything available to you". VERY CREEPY
  3. If  your photo-stream is all OTHER people's pictures... Again... VERY CREEPY!
  4. If your photo-stream is all YOUR face Photoshop-ed onto OTHER PEOPLE'S bodies (a lot of us may Photoshop ourselves onto other people... but you should NOT upload them to Flickr and other sites pretending that it's you... be yourself and embrace who you are).
  5. If I/we make it VERY CLEAR that we are NOT interested in hooking up with guys but are always being emailed and messaged by very persistent guys looking to hook up anyways. READ THE PROFILES BEFORE YOU SEND THE EMAIL.
  6. You send us a nice comment, but then we notice the same EXACT SAME comment from you on dozens of other people's pages. Once Again... VERY CREEPY!
Long story short... Unless it's stated in our profiles that we want to be treated like a whore, please show us the same respect that YOU would expect from anyone else who just met you.
