Yes, I agree that this question of Porn-driven opinions versus Personal Witness needs plenty of Thread time, and has indeed been the subject of many posts. I don't think the majority of hormone-driven males who enjoy T-porn can possibly imagine the pain and endurance needed for anyone who has ' misplaced sexuality ' - let alone the courage required ( and the money, as Bionca so sharply reminded us ) and the endurance to cope with the process and social aftermath of Transgendering. I include here F2m's although socially they attract a lot less attention. It is not to be wondered at that M2fs, whether they proceed to complete Transition or not, become obsessively preoccupied with their condition and acquire a burden of resentment and sometimes paranoia. By comparison the semantics of market T-porn must seem trivial to say the least.
But I don't think the average male means to be insensitive in his use of teminology when it comes to seeking out or referring to Transexual Porn. It is just that that they don't appreciate how highly sensitised M2fs can become to their casual use of terminology. And, after all, I guess that average means me, too, as indeed quite it must a lot of us who share in the pleasures and discussions of this Forum.
to all.
