On Facebook I certainly have, but I don’t use any others at the moment.

The way that social media likes to connect people together, and often digs up lots of people I used to vaguely know, I currently wouldn’t risk having my femme & homme identities on any social media platform coming from the same computer.
That said I have used for over 20 years now an online alias for many sites that is separate to my “real life” name. Given that the online alias has no obvious gender, I am always pleased when I am frequently assumed to be female.
For entirely a different reason (coming out lesbian) I wanted to create a 2nd profile where my homophobic family would leave me alone. I have aunts and uncles that have not spoken to me in years but i promise you they would hunt me down in person if they found out.
I have a few tips that are not any certified guarantee but in one years time it has not “friend suggested” anyone that i know from my old world.
- I never listed my city, but in my “bio” I typed in the State i lived in
- For many months I did not post any photo in my permanent profile
- I limited all posts to “friends only”
- Certain people i for sure did not want finding me, i went in and added them to the “block list” in my new profile. If you block someone they cannot even see that your profile exists.
- And if you have a Samsung 8, 9 or 10 you can run “dual messenger apps” I am running Facebook & FB Messenger on my Galaxy note9 and so I can still communicate with my family for my kids sake. None of the information has crossed over by using the dual app feature
That being said i had to delete instagram totally!! , It was cross sharing info, even though the email and login was not the same. Instagram was just data mining from my cell phone.
Thank you Jennifer! I hadn’t even realised there was a “block list” option. I’ve mainly eschewed social media sites due to the amount of time they seem to eat up, but for some groups or clubs they are the main source of information.
I had been on facebook for years. Made about 150 friends there, mostly women, to whom I let know about me not being a female shortly after befriending them. I’d say that maybe 10% of the people to whom I told were the only ones who rejected me then.
I left FB about 5 years ago , after my wife found my page with my photos, etc. I left it open before I went to work. She knew about my dressing and had some tolerance for it. But she had never seen me or my clothes or my photos. It was more than shocking to her.
So, unless you can be sure that nobody will ever come and find your page open in your computer or that everybody already knows, be very careful.

I did try it a while back, but it started recommending friends from my main account. I wasn’t sure how deep the link went so I killed that version of Connie.

I have created an online presence using my gurl name. I found when I was buying and selling clothes, if the buyer or seller realized I was a man, they would often not reply. I also connect to a CD group using FB. I don’t have many friends on my gurl FB account. I haven’t posted on it either.
Hi, yes I have my own female mail and several other sites like Twitter, Flickr – all with photos of me, do no longer use FB. Plus a “professional” site for business contacts. 0
And to my disappoint the other day, someone had found “Helene” and sent the link to my wife who was far from happy ..so now all closed as some of these cites also cross-referred you to other and having “spied” in your address book, asked to many of them if they “knew” Helene!! So be careful
Hi Rebekka
I have thought about it a lot but as Lucy Satin said if you want to keep it secret stay away from social media.
Love Sarah

I’m on Flickr, as Nina August. So far been fun, no creepy stuff, no mean comment or messages. Have connected to several like minded girls!

I do on Flickr it’s wonderful to look and see all the gorgeous outfits! Occasionally get creepy stuff but just block them.
Hi Becka,
I’m new to crossdressing and acknowledging my femme side. Now that I have, I feel wonderful. So yes, if I had a proper full physical femme identity I would consider it. What I mean by that is, the clothes and makeup. I have to learn so much yet about makeup and clothes before I can even post pictures here. In a way, by being here, we have already started on that journey. I suppose it depends how far we want to go.

My fem self has a presence here on CDH and on a kink site. I actually found this site from an ad on the kink site. I’ve never had an FB account and don’t want one either.
Well, um, I suppose so. I mean I do have my ‘avatars’ name (feminine) on a webs.com website which has a lot of my writings from when I was seriously into fan fiction of a particularly popular series of books by a famous author as well as being an active member of one of the several online fan/rpg sites. It also has a guest book as well as some reference compilations but hasn’t had much activity probably due to the slowly waning popularity of author’s works.
Hugs, ChloëC
I am on Flickr as well. Quite a few of my CDH friends are there. It will be a cold day in hell before I would ever get on FB or twitter.
