the second one at least looks a little like a girl
the first one? Sorry, but ick.
Bottom One...
...I think. The top one might be slightly misleading, since your protagonist does pass for most of the story. I'd guess that anyone buying on the basis of that picture would be looking for flamboyant adventures of a drag queen.
I'm guessing (without really looking) that the bottom one's relatively generic as TG stories go. But I think it's truer to the story, and there's no esthetic problem there (IMO; visual art's not my strong point).

Tough Choice
Hmmm...a grinning idiot in a wig he picked up from a charity shop or an androgynous blonde temptress?
I have no idea which of these I'd feel happier about plucking from the shelves and parting with good money for.
I really don't.
Definitely the second
It is visually more appealing and also more subtle.

Just Friends
Katie, which one you choose is of course ultimately your choice, but personally, I would go with the second one. The first just does not go with the story. At least the second does look reasonable feminine, although some could make the argument that the picture is that of a man. The first one leaves no doubt, it is a picture of a man, and that is not what the story is about. Please go with the second, or perhaps something that really leaves the reader wondering if the picture is one of a woman, or of a man. I have heard it said, if onlookers are confused and unable to make up their minds, then we crossdressers or transgenders have made it much easier for someone else to be out in public. Once again, I say neigh on the first picture.
Don't let someone else talk you out of your dreams. How can we have dreams come true, if we have no dreams?

It should fit the book.
The first picture might be good for a different kind of book, but not this one.
Second one, though I think you could find better.
Well, my choice would be
the bottom one as it shows who she truly is.
May Your Light Forever Shine
Which one?
I think that the only safe way is to nuke him from orbit...
Who needs enemies when you have friends like that? The second one is better but neither of them are really appropriate.

I tend to agree
The first on is really bad, the second, well, the person in the picture isn't really trying. We tend to try very hard indeed.
