I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you did not also challenge franalexes, a transwomen, because your posts were likely being written at the same time. She agrees with my assessment, writing:

The above post (#3) is about as rare as finding a female on a transsexual porn site. It is also offensive and I'm not going to answer here. Although I think in past years I have answered in other threads. You may enjoy looking for it.

I would never speak for franalexes, so I won't characterize the basis for her agreement with me. I will clarify my point, though. My statement that the statement is insulting is not about the fact that people do all sorts of things for money. It was that samshap, despite acknowledging that the example "is a rare case," implies a "yes" answer to the original question that begins the thread. And samshap does it in a matter-of-fact way. The insult to transwomen is the failure to point out that what samshap describes is a form of exploitation. It seems hardly about gender identity at all. It is about exploitation, exploitation, exploitation.
