I'm being realistic about it. You can minimize the occurance of a theat by being sensible and staying away from a risky situation/area(i.e. using your noggin), but no matter how much you minimize an occurance, the threat is still present.

Think of it as a spare tire, jack and tire iron for your well being...

I think you have perceived only part of the point I was making. Yes, I use my brain to minimize threats, make sensible decisions, and stay away from risky situations. You correctly call that "using your noggin." But I also use it as a weapon. I have used the power of persuasion to win what would have otherwise been a fight involving violence on more than one occasion. (I have little doubt that I would have lost had the threatened violence ensued.)

I call the latter "using your wits."

I understand that. It is always advisable to de-escalate a potentially harmful situation without using physical force. I keep my guns and steel as a last resort; I would never use it as a means to defuse a situation where the outcome could have turned out otherwise had someone been talked down. Of course persuasion and reason is the best way to win a fight and being able to talk someone down is preferable to shooting them. However, the situation dictates the level of force and you will know quickly when a firearm or blade will become absolutely necessary. Diplomacy and verbal persuasion is not always effective against your local crackhead/tweaker, espesially if they have themselves a nifty crowbar or knife and are coming straight for you. In that event, I let John Moses Browning or Gaston Glock do the "persuading" for me. Usually, the sound of racking a weapon is sufficient to let someone you know mean business.

I pray to God that I never have to shoot someone in defense of myself and I hope to God that I never have to live with the burden of taking someones life. I am just prepared for a time when I may be confronted with the options of kill or be killed.

For many years in the course of my job, I carried a .357. I never had to use it. I got rid of it a few years ago. With the advent of a few serious crimes around and a friend expressing some consideration of my present living style; I went out today and re-armed.
I got a good deal on a S&W .44 Russian. I tried it too. First shot set me on my ass. I learned quickly to stand correctly. I can now hit a soda can at 60 feet. The .357 would break a bone. The .44 is heavier but slower. It removes the bone! Whatever I don't like that's on the outside; is going to stay on the outside.
Am I being too paranoid about carrying heat? Ive been n situations where heat keeps things cool.

A few years ago, my wife left the house and pushed the wrong button on the security pad and it sent a security breach message to the Sheriff. In the meantime, I came home and went up to my office. Later I heard something downstairs. I walked out of my office to be faced with two officers pointing their guns directly at me and yelling "freeze". Naturally, I did (almost froze to death, lol). It's a good thing I left my magnum 12 gauge shotgun in the room.

Or you got the crackpots, upon finding out what you are, might not be happy.
I am always for concealed weapons, since bad guys prefer the would be victim to not be armed, and the cops only show up to clean up the mess after one's body has gone cold.....plus a lot of cops can be just as dangerous as the people they are supposed to protect us from.




And you're pretty passable to me, Katie.

Wow, I didn't realise so many of you lived in Somalia and had to brave bandits and paramilitaries that roam the streets slaughtering innocents every night. Not living in a lawless failed state likr you guy, I can't really appreciate the need to be tooled up with dozens of guns, ready to defend against armed thugs which I assume must be beating at your doors every night and ambushing you as you make a dash through the crossfire in the streets. Good luck to you guys, I mean personally I don't feel the need to carry a gun, I just keep my can of lion repellent handy, I mean, a lion could escapes from the zoo at any time and devour me, you have to be prepared right. This is also why I keep my combined meteor strike sheild and lighting conductor with me too, I don't wana be a victim!

It's a good thing you are well armed but you didn't mention trouser snakes. They are quite common you know.

The sad truth is that one could also accurately say
transsexual females
&
recently transitioned transsexual females,
respectively.

[franalexes]

A few days ago a fellow member (TS) asked me why we are here on a porn website full of perverts? ( Yes, her actual words.)
Not sure why but I want you guys to know that not all aspects of our lives are as glamorous as your fantasies would have you believe.

Help me understand this. Transwomen want to be accepted, but yet if a guy likes transwomen then he is a pervert?

Respect is two way street. Respect the men if you want respect in turn. It is uncalled for to refer to all men as perverts.

Last point; why would someone that refers to men on here as perverts come on here herself?

[franalexes]

Now Ila , I'm sure she wasn't refering to ALL. But sometimes predominant thoughts are caused by a bad experience by a few.
You will have to ask her for an answer to your second question. pm me if you want to explore further.

The term "pervert" has many meanings. Current usage usually refers to sexual behavior. Some people would consider anal sex perverted. Some people would consider oral sex perverted. My impression is that no one participating on this forum would consider either of these activities perverted, per se. It's the exploitation of another human being for selfish gratification with no regard for the other person that, to me, is a perversion.

Loopy tranny
It goes like this.
"I can never date a man who knows and accepts I'm a Ts
coz he is a perv only into me coz I have a penis"
"That's why I only date men who have no idea of my past"
"And I only tell them after we go to bed
and after he has found a penis rather than the expected vag"
"One day I hope to have a second date...."

Yes Ila it's a very good point.
It's not like you can miss the sites probable nature
given its address: Transladyboy.
The sad thing is that this person used to be a man
but now has tits & six inch heals,
and a ludicrously high-pitched pantomime-dame-type voice,
and a skirt length which maybe ok on a sixteen year old girl,
but not the 55 year old they actually are.
No guesses as to who the general public would see as the pervert!

Oh if anyone is interested, I've found a YouTube video of them:

Well I used to get a kick at the entrance to tranny clubs.
I'd lean over to the cashier and ask
"Does this club have changing facilities

They would look at me confused as I started saying this line, long after I had transitioned.
"But you are a woman, why do you want changing facilities?"
" I love watching men strip off and then dressing up as women,
....it really turns me on"

I am a very very bad person and must stop saying things like this, just to annoy people.

Jodie "I can never date a man who knows and accepts I'm a Ts

Why would wanting to suck a shecock be perverted when eating pussey is ok? Is it perverted when on a date with a girl, you are thinking about her pussey? If I was dating a TS, I would definitely be thinking about her shecock.

I've no idea at all Randolph.
The truth is it's all the same.

You need to be patient and wait for the ts who wrote to Fran, to let us know.
Seems a bit weird for a person to join a site called Transladyboy
and then gripe about the sites nature and people it attracts.

I'm dead curious to know what she makes of me or Fran or Bionca.
Our motivation will be a little different to most of the men here, yes.
But we are still on here posting.

I hope this one runs a bit, sure to be entertaining.

Your post just made me remember an experience years ago. I was in a bar in Tucson. A nice girl came over and gave me a lap dance. After a couple of beers I went into the bathroom. Sitting there behind a table covered with all kinds of cosmetics was a nice looking guy. I felt startled and very uncomfortable. I took a leak and left. I guess I was in a tranny bar and didn't know it.

[shoreleaveoic]

Better to have it and not need it...then not have it and need it.

It always amazes me that despite where you go in the world minority groups have a firm distaste of arms, yet the majority of people always have a monopoly on arms.

In America most guns are owned by white males. Meanwhile groups that probably need arms (from a historical standpoint such as racism, prejudice, institutionalized segregation) always are vehemently against ANYONE owning arms.

Blow the mind away....does anyone read history books?

Look into the history of gun control in America, Germany, Japan, etc....that alone should be proof that everyone should own weapons.

If you want information, an organization called "Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership" has made a video you can buy or find online that documents the real purpose of gun control.

And before someone says "In japan they don't have guns and low crime so it would work in america too, hur dur!" Your forgetting an important cultural factor, East Asiatic peoples have a different culture than Western Peoples. Try this experiment out one day, walk into a bar in the USA, Mexico, or Jamaica. Slap a man sitting at the bar as hard as you can. Then try the same thing in a bar in Japan, China or Korea. In one country the people may yell, say something, and curse....in another country you will be killed! Its not the weapons, its the culture.

Hell, look at video games. Japan makes Super Mario and Street Fighter II. Both cartoonish games...we make Mortal Kombat and Call of Duty. You can't just ignore culture factors and assume guns make people violent.

Bottom line, don't depend on police, boyfriends, neighbors or the good nature of others for your own personal defense. Get a Glock, get a reloading press, practice and carry it daily...or continue rolling the dice and hope things work out in your favor. People ask me why I carry a gun, then I ask them why they wear a seatbelt, or have a fire extinguisher, or insurance...etc....

In Europe and pretty much everywhere in the world, you have been stripped of your only defense against totalitarianism. Look at the United Kingdom. ...decaying into Police States and the people have no defense.

The UK is shit. And yes it has become a police state.
All the criminals are armed.
The rest of us are not.
it is illegal.
Even if we defend ourselves we are arrested.
And Transsexual women are very high up the stats for being murdered.
If you whore as well, your life expectancy drops to that of a Mayfly.

dailymail.co.uk Manchester-shopkeeper-72-stabs-armed-robber-death-florists.html
Yesterday, a 72 year old florist was playing dominoes.
His shop was shut.
Two armed men broke in.
There was a scuffle.
One of the armed robbers was fatally stabbed.
The shopkeeper was injured and taken to hospital.
The shopkeeper was also arrested on suspicion of murder.

For fucks sake, he should have been given a community medal and award.
He was later cleared. www.independent.co.uk/florist-raider-cleared-of-murde But that's not the point. He shouldn't have been arrested.
Norway. If some of those 75+ murdered teenagers had been armed then that nutter would have been killed before he had spent a whole hour executing them all.

Is there any Tgirl from the UK or elsewhere who needs to defend themselves on here? it would be interesting to find out how. as guns and knifes are illegal to carry in this country.

I'm in the UK.
There is a huge volume of gun and knife crime.
All guns and all locking knives and all knives over 3" are illegal.
These laws have not reduced the crime. The armed crime has gone up.
The armed criminals don't obey the law. Which makes things very unbalanced.
Police response times are massively variable. Most crimes they don't even come out to.
Trans escorts. In Birmingham there are asian and eastern european gangs targeting gay male escorts and trans escorts
to do gang rape and assault on them.
So what do we need? Besides a miracle?
Guns. Lots of guns. ...

[JodieTs]

In a situation
never shout out for help
never shout "Rape"
never shout "I'm being attacked"
never shout "call the cops"

You will generally be ignored
(People are like that...Huge studies about group negation of responsibility)

Instead shout "Fire"


This will get everybody running over and confuse the attacker/s
they will think you are a loony ie. unstable, unpredictable,
which is good.

@ Jodie: It's such a shame to see the murder rates of the UK. When I see stuff like that in the news, it makes me glad that I spent that $300 on my Mossberg 500.

How does Parliament expect to save England from the threat of zombies when everyone is disarmed? I am sure Misters Lee and Enfield would see the folly of such gun control.

What a collection of joke articles.

UK murder rates may be higher than in the 60's however they are still about 1/4 of the murder rate in the US.

Those graphs in your last source as ridiculous. The ones for US cities that supposedly show murder rates dropping or increasing in response to gun laws don't show anything of the sort, they almost all show the change in rate starting or entirely occurring before the law changes. The Washington and Chicago ones that supposedly show a rise after handgun bans show murder rates staying steady for about 10 years after the bans (when they had previously been rising), then they both rise suddenly around 1990, oh, wait, that's when the US went into recession.

The daily mail article (there's the clue it's bullshit, anything in the daily mail, assume the opposite it true) is a complete joke, because as anyone who payed attention to the news knows, they changed the categorisation of violent crime in the UK to include common assault and affray where people are not injured (infact in affray you don't actually have to even have to have touched), whereas other countries only count crimes as violent if someone is actually injured. The articles does infact even admit itself that it is a crock of crap, and that crimes rates are falling since 1995.


And whoever wrote about the Norwegian Terrorist attack, that if only the kids had guns... Are you seriously suggesting that we should be arming children? do you really think that's a good idea to give kids guns. How about you mention that the shooter bought his gun legally, and he got high capacity magazines by mail order from the US.

Criminals always get hold of guns illegally, but they are used almost exclusivly against other criminals, almost all deranged killers who have gone on sprees use legally bought guns, and it's the high capacity magazines that gun nuts insist on keeping legal that allow them to murder such high numbers of people.

As for the 'police state' argument what a load of moronic shit. Lets remember which country STILL has warrantless wire taps, secret searches, tracking your internet, your mail, and even books at your library, has corrupt judges locking people up for money, runs an offshore gulag and has the highest prison population per capita in the world. I don't see any gun waving crowds fixing the situation in the US.
