I set up a FB account to make like minded friends. I have quickly realized it was a cesspool. My profile says straight dresser. Well I get hit on by men and perves and what rally peeves me off. I will get a friend request we message back and forth then. The new friend goes into convincing me I am Trans, I am gay, I need to have the sex change etc. I am debating on deleting and start keeping to sites like this one.
I’m so sorry you had that experience. CDH is certainly an oasis and a treasure. Sister you are welcome here. Hugs!
That's part of the reason I don't use facebook as I've heard about this, though my wife does and hasn't had issues.
I'm on Instagram mostly as some other performers use it to communicate with each other, myself included, but I've got hit on a number of times by trolls who just seem to come out of the woodwork.
Either way, I'm a big girl and I can look after myself, but it is annoying as I say what I am etc on my page and these guys don't bother reading it!

You answered your own question: Delete the account and keep to sites like this one.
Just say no to Facebook. Stay on here.
If you go public you take the rough with the smooth so the recommendation is to ditch F.B. There is an etiquette here which makes it safe and we recommend the conditions are read which gives advice on making the experience safer to avoid trolls. That said if any trolls appear at the bridge they soon get chucked in the river. I joined some years ago and decided to stay as I have had nothing but a positive experience.
Take care Brandie.
I'm a member of a couple of Facebook groups, and on the face of it they seem safe enough. But I never post. Too close to home. I'm also on a couple of other crossdresser forums and they're pretty friendly. Not a patch on CDH though xx.
I don't do FB, it is a cesspool in my opinion. I don't like their censorship and lack of free speech. I dumped my FB account 3 years ago and never looked back.
CDH is a much happier, informative place.... Nice... Staci..
While I have a FB account I almost never look at it. I just never saw any usefulness in it...but I am a Luddite and would be happy to get back to the telegraph for long distance communication😄
I only use FB for groups covering the vehicles that I own, although I'm friended up on FB with many of the members from the main forum for one of them, that is its own site like CDH is. Having received birthday wishes via FB, my response the next day was 'Thank you all for your good wishes that made my annual visit to my timeline so pleasurable 🙂 '. When one of them reacted with surprise, my OH wrote 'Seriously, he's not kidding!'.
I have facebook for my male self and only use it to stay in touch with family really. Even then Im in there once a week at most. And I love the emails I get from facebook "reminding" me to log on and find out what so-and-so has been up to.
Facebook makes me long for the days of MySpace, when MySpace Tom only wanted to be my friend. Missy had a good sized presence there, but I'll never let her on facebook.
Facebook is bad enough. I have never touched it and never will.
Years ago, I was active on Yelp, a consumer activist site. I had an account which for those of you who are familiar with Yelp know it has your photo on it and your city & state. I opened my account as my female self.
Despite its consumer purpose, the trolls and weirdos were using the message function to stalk and harass female members. No sooner would Yelp close their accounts then they would appear again under new names.
