    Hi Emma, well said. everything you mention I totally agree with. and stated so precisely. I appreciate the situation where you can’t access the full make-up and or wig for whatever reason and know the feeling well. Thanks for your thoughts and feelings,
    Helen

    Hi Emma.
    Great reading, I have learnt so much from girls like yourself, Helen, and many others that contribute to the forum. There sure is lots to be learnt from ladies that give up their time to help others like myself by posting notes on this site.
    Thank You

    And a very pretty, well rounded thigh it is, if I may say so!

    I invite anyone who has a question about how to present themselves or anything to do with this lifestyle to get tapping on their keyboard and ask away….whether it’s on the forum or to one of us personally (I don’t mind chatting to anyone). From my point of view, trust me, I’ve heard or done it all and I would have loved someone to have told me a few things.
    I can remember being a little intimidated by the more experienced gals when I disovered the early versions of transgendered sites on the ‘net. Some (thankfuly few and certainly none on this site) of our so-called ‘sisters’ can be quite horrid to the newbies and more closetted girls.They are like transgendered nazi’s in some instances where they profess that unless you are: a size 8,completely passable,shave/laser every square inch of your body,take hormones,wear the latest fashions, and get around in a gang of similar types then you are not worthy.
    What a load of crap.
    Me saying ‘come on girls, it’s time to frock-up and get to the nightclubs ‘ is not going to inspire a stampede of closetted cd’s to charge the Taxi Club this saturday night. Hopefully though if enough of you learn from reading what we’re up to we might,just might, get a couple of you to venture out or,at the very least,make a pretty good attempt at putting a complete image up on your profile of what you want to be seen as…not what you are only confident of showing now.
    Sorry Helen, I highjacked your subject a bit lol. I’ll shutup now.

    Totally agree with you, and it wasn’t only on the web-sites, some from the so called ‘support groups’ were like that as well.
    Feel free to hijack as much as you want, this is, after all, a forum!

    this is an interesting topic girls.

    I dont do the photo thing anyway, except under extreme conditions, (i.e ID and drivers licence) so you wont find a pic of me just yet, head or not. I guess my hair and face a maybe quite feminine, thats what I’m told, anyway, and tonight I went out dressed to a private party, which is a first. (maybe this is a night of firsts, as this is my first post too i think) I just hate pictures. I used to hate mirrors too for the same reason, but I’m slowly growing out of that. maybe one day ill post a picture, but wont be yet.

    so I just wanted to say that I admire any girl who posts a real pic, cos it makes you so vunerable. those who post face shots are either stupid or really really brave. knowing the girls I have met here, then I think maybe the later.

    so face or not, its good to see girls who take steps , big or little, in the direction their heart tells them. its a big step for me, posing for fem pics, cos i know I dont measure up, and to have them on display, I’m either kidding myself or saying I dont care what i look like, and I really really really do. yes god, I was born vain.

    hugs to everyone, just my two cents, Bre

    Girls,

    Posting photo’s is certainly a personal thing and it doesn’t change my approach to who I talk to on this site, notwithstanding that there is a preference on my part to have some type of idea who I’m chatting to.

    In my case I originally had some reluctance to post because of the fear of being identified but that has eased as I’m comfortable that is unlikely.

    I also consider that viewing photo’s gives one a better measure of how one improves in appearance & dress sense on the road to passability (not that will be fully achieved). I look back at my earlier photo’s and say YUK but then at the same time I can see my time & effort in improving have produced some positive results.

    Of course there are negatives, unsolicited e-mails from “admirers” but the wonders of technology have also provided the delete key.

    In the end, some girls have them (photo’s) and others don’t and it doesn’t bother me at all. After all, we are all in different circumstances and in different parts of our journey (wherever that may be taking us).

    Wouldn’t it be a sad world if we were all the same.

    Post your pics if you like, but if you don’t no critisism from me.

    Hugs,

    Wendy :D

    “….so I just wanted to say that I admire any girl who posts a real pic, cos it makes you so vunerable. those who post face shots are either stupid or really really brave. knowing the girls I have met here, then I think maybe the later. “

    I understand what you are saying Breeanna but I disagree (although I’m waiting for the torrent of comments from my friends here with witty remarks such as: ‘No,Emma, you really are stupid’ lol). I don’t feel brave, I’m just really comfortable in my skin. Wendy hit the nail on the head where she said it was highly unlikely you would be recognised. 99.99% of us are discovered frock-ed up in the sunlounge reading this months Cosmopolitan when the little lady returns from her mother’s unexpectantly. Although it may have happened I have no anecdotal stories to support any evidence that somone has been tumbled on the net. I have never heard of an instance of it ever though,like a new pair of 3/4 pants that makes our bum look too big it does seem to be a genuine fear amongst lots of girls.
    Let’s not forget ladies that it is very difficult to just stumble upon the places we hang out in cyberspace.You also cannot go to a search engine and type in: find all the guys in dresses and reveal their true names- particularly friends or workmates of mine
    Back in the 1920’s Jazz lovers were treated with the same scorn in society that heroin users are now. From the 16th to the 19th centuries effeminicy (the textbooks term,not mine. They describe it as men wearing female clothing/wigs/makeup openly) was very common amongst the ruling families of europe and britain. You can even find many examples of it in ancient roman history. Did they get around with bags over their heads in case they were recognised? I think not.
    The point is, as Wendy wisely says, what a sad world it would be if everyone was the same. Do what you want,be who you want to whatever extent you want it to be….but of course don’t ever hurt anyone while you’re doing it.

    There is absolutely nothing new under the sun girls. We are only the current custodians of a proud noble culture that has existed since text has been written. Let’s just see if we can leave it in good shape for those who come after us…if you think it’s courage you need then get some.If you think it’s help you need then there has never been an easier time to attain it. For every girl who puts a profile up here (headless,blank pic,whatever) there are 50 girls out there in the big wide world putting on women’s clothing as you read this who have never heard of TrannyRadio.
    At the end of the day they are all our Sisters as you are, doing what they want to do how they want to do it.

    This idea has occurred to me over the years, if someone I knew ‘accidently’ happened across my page or any page and not only saw me but recognised me. But then if anyone was browsing through tranny pages they would have to be looking for a reason, the reason would probably be their interest? Yes, no? Does this make us fel safer?

    Emma,
    Vulernable to what? We are here as kindred sisters and should feel some bonding and protection within the site. I am a relist and realise that are are some “non-genuine” girls here, but would assume that the majority are really seeking the same genuine support and friendship that we hope the site offers.
    Best wishes to all at Tranny Radio, Bernice šŸ˜‰

    Bernice,
    That wasn’t my quote,it was Breanna’s – I was directly quoting her remark (read her post above).
    I feel no vulnerability which was the whole point of what I was saying.

    jUST A qUICK COMMENT ON THIS SUBJECT.
    I FIRST GOT THE COURAGE TO POST A PIC ON THE RADIO & THIS GAVE ME THE FIRST OPPURTUNITY TO SHOW MYSELF TO THE WORLD AS I WOULD LOVE TO BE. I DID GET ONE EMAIL FROM A BLOKE WHO DIDNT HAVE PHOTO’S OF HIMSELF ONLY HIS DICK BUT HE WAS EASY TO BLOCK.
    I AM GLAD THE RADIO IS AVAILABLE TO ALLOW US TO SHOW OURSELVES WITHOUT HAVING TO GO OUT INTO THE WORLD & PERHAPS THROUGH MEETING OTHERS WE WILL ACHIEVE THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF NOT BEING AFRAID IN PUBLIC. I ALSO LOVE THE VIEWS & EXPERIENCES OF OTHERS OFFERED HERE
    LOVE YOU ALL

    Browsing through quite a few groups and ‘clubs’ over the years one thing I come across now and again is either the headless shot, (somone who is too shy to show their faces) or the ones that have their heads pasted onto to some real girls body. I was wondering what members thought of these practices. …

    Helen,

    Like many of the girls have said, if one is open enough to post their face (Stupid ?? or Brave ?? as said above), then for me it is of course a little bit of respect to see one back. IF THE GIRL is a new girl – then zero pressure, though – I must say that.

    The REAL issue for me is the second one – faking fotos. I’m active on another forum, and by concensus between the membership and the admin team it is very much frowned upon when discovered – and often discovered.

    Yours,

    Saz

    Which was my original point. I’m not knocking anyone for doing that, as I also said, on my own page I have a few fakes but they are labelled as such and done for fun. It’s the ones that do it but don’t admit it that prompted me to ask the question.
