Why i had to use transition photos of others without asking for permission
One complain i have seen sometimes is that often in trans spaces people use pictures of anime girls instead of real pictures of people who have actually transitioned themselves. For that reason i decided to use real transition photos which i mostly took from
r/transtimelines to use as inspiration showing that you can look great after transitioning.
The issue with having everyone agree to have their photo used is that then people would be able to use it against them later, for that reason i never asked so they can say "i didn't agree to have my photo used". For better or worse the copyright ordinary people supposedly have is pretty much ignored since most people don't want to sue over having some photo they posted in public be used by others.
As our community grows i will instead be able to use transition timelines from people in our community, this actually started with version 7 with val agreeing to send pictures, she actually looked better when i saw her in the video chat later so we can probably get a better photo from here later.
These pictures are being used to help people improve their lives and we have already saved at least 1 person from suicide.
