    I was thinking about doing this. I know some of you have, but here it goes. I was wondering if coming out on Facebook is a good idea.

    Pros:
    -Reaffirmation of my gender
    -Ease of communication with friends who frequently change phone numbers
    -Could be used to promote my artwork
    -Evidently, it's suspicious to employers if you don't have a Facebook. :dry:

    Cons:
    -Opens me up to bullying
    -If my family (and my husband's family) finds out, especially from someone other than me, bad shit will ensue
    -Prospective employers might find my Facebook and be like, 'Yep, not hiring a girl who thinks she's a guy'.
    -I haven't had a Facebook in years, and I honestly don't really miss the drama and petty bullshit.

    What do you all think? To those of you who have done this, how did it work for you? Did you get a lot of criticism from people? Is it worth it?
