Deleting my comment even tho you can see it below in quotes.

I should have politely made my siggestion privately. It was rude of me to do so in public.

I'm sorry op and you have a pm

I never ever want to sound mean' date=' but I think you dont need to pose naked and all sexually to try to show your weight loss to us. We get it, you've done really well, but really?[/quote']

I tend to agree. I mean, you look fabulous, but please remember that there are a variety of people on this site. Some very conservative.

You look great. Keep it up! You can see a big difference. Not offended here. If conservative people are easily offended, then they probably shouldn't click on a gay and transgendered thread. IMHO.

Thanks for input I want to sure I thought I could delete if people were upset I get it I do I just saw worse on here before so I thought it was just cute I reported so hopefully they take it down- and thanks to the people with compliments

I didn't realize it was posted in a gay forum, as i just click "recent topics" and read. nor did I realize the gay forum was for posting photos of yourself half nude. Since this is vst and not eharmony. *shrug* . I'm not sensitive necessarily, I just think its more respectful to yourself to just pose natural and modestly.

You've come a long way op.

I'm glad I got to see the pics before they get taken down. You look AMAZING!!! Is it hard for you to see a real difference in the mirror, but are completely gob smacked when you see side by side selfies? I only ask because I can stare at a pic of new me next to old me for ages, just amazed.

You look brilliant. And you have a nice bum

I have several GLBT friends and am socially liberal myself. But I don't think that being GLBT is a license for endorsement or entitlement for a different set of standards or expectations in a general public forum. I love that the OP is being really cool about it and handled it. That is classy.

[VSGKirk 855]

I think there is a double-standard here. I have seen MUCH MORE revealing photos of women on here and they say things like they are feeling "sexy" or "empowered" - there is no difference here. I've seen other guys post very provocative pictures as well in the general forums and galleries. Feeling sexy, not shying away from the camera or hiding behind people is one of the great side effects of this journey.

If he would have entitled his picture "Excess Skin" or stated "I'm so ashamed of my body", the comments would be much different and the support would be overflowing.

As long as the picture doesn't violate any terms of the board, it's the OP's judgement and decision to post his pics here - and I would imagine he posted them in the LGBT forum, not because there might be an implied different set of morals for us LGBT folks, but because it's a safe place where like-minded people will always support him and have his back.

I find your pictures inspiring because I would KILL to look like you do now... I like having real guys willing to show off what my body MAY look like someday - I don't care if you are gay, straight, whatever - this is all our own journey and it's nice to see what the prize might look like at the end of it.

YOU GO BOYEEEEE!
