OurPath (formerly SSN) Open Forum / Seriously Facebook?

I'll make this short and sweet. Logged on to Facebook tonight. They recommended a new friend to me--my SO trans profile.

Great...just what I didn't need to see

Anyone else run into anything like this? I feel like no matter what I do or where I go, I can't escape her.

You could delete your profile, start another one.

Could you?

Yes, the same thing happened to me. MY TXH's female profile showed up as a potential friend. It really bothers me to see him dressed up as a woman. I'd rather not see him at all. I live in a small town in a remote area. I realized I had quite recently friended a Gay (male) couple I had known a long time. . I wasn't very good friends with them in the real world, so I unfriended them, thinking they might have connected me somehow with my TXH's profile. AFter I did that, my TXH's profile never appeared on my FB page again! THis was months ago.

I think sometimes FB gives you friends of friends as potential friends. My TXH may have been friends with the Gay couple.

FB definitely does that. If you start browsing for new contacts, it tends to start with people who have friends in common with you.

I found out another way get rid of an unwelcome person on FB - use blocking. Google "blocking on FB" for its uses and the way to set it up.

Just block the person. It’s easily done.
