Hello all. I’m still semi private about being Alexis. This town I live in is not big on the lifestyle. I recently created a separate Instagram account just for Alexis. My question is this… how many of you also have an Instagram or other social media account for you crossdressing selves? Have a blessed day all.
This is about as close to social media as I get these days. Long ago, before Facebook and Twitter became toxic waste sites, I had accounts on both, but even though I wasn’t disclosing my transgender status, I was alarmed by how quickly Facebook associated me with people that I know, often people from my far distant past. It creeped me out and I will never trust it. I have deleted my Twitter account, although for different reasons.
I have create several accounts mostly to interact with others on the web. I have a gmail account so that allows me to browse the web while saving bookmarks that will not be seen with my normal account if my wife happens to be looking over my shoulder while typing in a search engine and something CD wise pops up.
Recently I interacted on YouTube by commenting on a video as Diana. It was very interesting on the feedback I got as a woman versus what I get as a male.
I do not have anything posted on any of my accounts though. I have Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. I also have a Amazon account that I create lists on.
I have a profile on Flickr. I have met a ton of great CD and Trans girls there. Many who are members here.
Years ago, I had joined a very active RPG site based on a very popular fictional setting, as a female, taking on a female RPG character. I was very active on the site, taking on some responsibilities (managing one of the many forums), and I made (because that’s who I am) some friends. As a result I did make a FB account for my name behind the character and was friended by two from the RPG site, but hardly ever used it then and don’t now, tho I still have the email account and get FB related postings. I haven’t been on either to do anything in years (the original RPG site was hacked and destroyed, sad to say, but later a few pieces were put back together, but the activity there is about 2-5% of what it was in its heyday).
I was never bothered on the FB site as I had only those 2 as friends, but I was harassed a little by some male on the RPG site who tried to track me down and failed miserably.
In male mode I am on FB. I don’t post much on my site, but I belong to 4 affinity groups and each one is heavily moderated and there have been no noticeable problems. I do get FB hacked friend requests of people I knew well and contact them to let them know.
I’m not on any other social media site that I care about.
Hugs, ChloëC
I am not on social media, either as a male or female. You could say I am antisocial media.
I was thinking of setting up something, but it would have only been with a brand new email address, and accessed on a virtual machine to use for this singular purpose only, in order to containerize it and keep their hooks and trackers out of everything else I do.
I have a number of social media accounts besides CDH/TGH: Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, Reddit, and Susans. I hardly use FB and Flickr. I’m very careful what I post on other SM and have strict privacy settings. I’m not concerned about outing myself because, well, I’m already out. But the tight privacy settings do help reduce unwanted attention. Despite my misgivings about Insta (being owned by Meta), it’s been a great way to meet and stay in touch with other trans girls, and keep up with several organizations I care about. CDH and TGH have been and will continue to be the place where I share the most about my life. There are no comparable support sites, IMO. Simply the best!

Im out for a few friends and i have two different Instagram accounts, my female insta is private but always have friends from my male insta recommendations, i really want to make my female profile public, but always re the chance that someone recognize you.
i never understand why whit a different email adress , and different privacy settings , get people that i know on recommendationsEverybody, especially businesses, ask for your e-mail.
Duckduckgo, the alternative search engine company, now has a free e-mail forwarding service with a name@duck.com address format.
The service removes all tracking and then forwards the message to your normal e-mail address. Replies also come from duck.com, so you remain unouted. Initiating a new e-mail is more tricky, therefore I cannot describe how, just yet.
However, duck.com is an easy, safe way to deal with your femme alter ego in stores or new acquaintances.
I have a Facebook and Quora accounts. Im not big on social, I dont like photos of hairy men in cheap undies. I sound like a snob but its a shame that that seems to be the norm. There are endless sites where you can get get your exhibitionistic jollies off why fill up a place where you can talk with that sort of photos. I’m no angel but keep it to yourself on SM (pun intended) girls.
