There are many forums, facebook groups and websites out there&#8230;including this one I guess&#8230;with topics for trans people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Facebook can be tricky but with a genuine, valid email address it isn&#8217;t impossible to do. However, chose a name and stick with it.  Stay sensible and post real events&#8230;and don&#8217;t use other peoples photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a female FB profile for over 8 years it has allowed me to &#8216;live&#8217; as a woman and feel like a woman. I don&#8217;t use it to fool people or lie&#8230;just for me to be Alex and stay anonymous from my everyday life.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connecting with real people online gives me insight into my future life and teaches me how to interact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can talk about things I never could as a man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Then there are Google profiles, YouTube, Tik Tok, Aliases&#8230;whatever.
