Darker Reasons
 

GIANNA,

It's probably fear of temptation, of their own vulnerability, of the unknown, of an unsuspecting co-worker falling into your lustful trap w/ all the problems that would affect workforce productivity. Ergo, their imagination would dwarf reality.

Piece,


TAL

I highly doubt that. The only one you seem interested in listening to is your own voice, which is continually propelled onward by an intellectually bankrupt brain and a self-delusional ego.

And just so YOU know, the old world spelling for Assisi was NOT "Azzizi", you bonehead -- it was actually ASISIUM, which is the word in its original LATIN form since the town was originally formed by traveling immigrants, then occupied by the Etruscans, and finally the Romans in 295 BC. And notice that even THEN in its Latin form it was spelled using the letter "S." And I would know this why? Gee, maybe because of the multiple degrees I hold, one of them is in Classical History and Ancient Languages.

Oh, and if you don't believe me, here's an easy test for the truly retarded out there: try using your own computer and doing 10 seconds of actual research. Try plugging AZZIZI into Google and see what comes up. The word will generate a lowly 10,000 entries. Now look at the what the entries are about. Do you see anything there about the famous town in Italy? See anything about St. Francis, religion or art history? No. And do you know why it's a "no", Melissa? Because you're wrong yet again.

Gee, what a shock there.

Now plug in ASSISI into Google and hit enter. The result: 11 MILLION entries -- yes, that's millions as in PLURAL -- and you will instantly see from the very first page that they are ALL about the famous Italian town and it's relevance in history, religion, and even art.

In fact, speaking as someone with an art degree as well -- yes, I'm a professional artist myself (as in sold, printed, published, you name it) -- if you actually were an artist as you claim, Melissa, and if you had studied any art history at all, then you'd know that in times of old using the letter "Z" as a replacement for the letter "S" was done NOT to change the spelling, but simply because artists found the brush stroke of making a "Z" easier on a canvas and they often found it to be stylistic in a final rendering. But that simple artistic flourish aside, it doesn't alter the fact that the actual spelling for the town is ASSISI -- and even back then those same artists marking their canvases with a "Z" knew it.

But hey, thanks for trying to play the game yet again, Melissa. You could have let it go, but once again your ego got in the way and you just felt that you HAD to get the last word in, all so you could try to belittle someone who DARED to disagree with you. Once again you thought you could just toss out some tiny bit of information and thus it MUST be true because YOU said it. Unfortunately, all you've managed to do is show everyone what an ego-driven potato head you are.

And on that note, the game show buzzer has sounded and sad to say, you're this week's loser. But don't worry, my lovely co-host dressed in a beautiful gown has a nice consolation prize for you as you exit the stage. At which point we'll now welcome our next game show contestant, who will actually know something about the topic they're speaking of...

its imposible for me to say, my initial reaction to the question is no i would try to look past it. but i think if it came down to it i might find i couldn't deal with it. no one wants to be sitting at home knowing their girlfriend is out somewhere getting fucked. the more i think about it the more i think i couldn't do it. particularly if she was an escort. no man could sit calmly at home knowing his woman is out putting her life on the line fucking random strangers for a living. even if i tryed to accept it i think i would end up doing something crazy like beating the shit out of one of her clients.
i also think if a woman realy loved her man she wouldn't expect him sit at home while she's out getting fucked here there and everywhere.

Of course I wish you good luck! It's your decision and we have to respect that. Still think you're about to destroy something very pretty.:(

Honestly thats exactly what I think. And how knows maybe I'll be so damn attractive that my employer won't be able to close his mouth, from drooling so much, to say the words. Then I'll be extremely happy.:D

Whats the point??
 

Melissa it is a valid question..and I think you should just let ppl give their answers.
They may be right or wrong according to you. But you need not correct them.
Infact you could be happy that so many ppl actually wanted to answer the question.
Besides you got to know about the opinions of so many people thats awesome right..

Yea I wanted opinions to the question. When I hear judgments on what I do with my life they will get corrections, as you put it.

TS escorting
 

Dear Melissa.
As a male I hesitate to get involved in this discussion. However, I think the issue goes beyond tgirls. As a working tgirl, I suspect most of your clients are actually married men who are not getting what they want at home. how would there wives respond if they knew their husbands were being pleasured by you? I suspect they would want a divorce. Knowing their husband was paying for sex would be intolerable. We all know that when it comes to, sex men are idiots. Imagine Kennedy, Clinton and now Spitzer, the limbic system rules. Wives want to own their husbands and most men want to own their wives. I think possesion would also apply to a tgirl relationship. :respect:
I am ready to be flamed. :confused:

Those are excellent points and right on the money.

Most men are married and cheat but that's their business not mine. They get the erotic experience they yearn for with me and often come back for more.

As for my current bf he has no problem with what I do.

Let me also add these are the types of comments I was after not a moral indictment or personal attack on what I do.

Its pathetic that someone would view a person as less than a doctor lawyer or any other professional simply because she is an escort. Even more pathetic when it comes from anonymous sources.

it depends girl!

Contact
 

Dear Melissa,
I think you are very intelligent and very sexy. So here is a little story for you.
I am traveling East to give a talk to a global warming conference. I contact you and arrange to take you out to your favorite restaurant. I meet you and and you have on a sleek black silk chemise dress (very short). We enter the restaurant and all the men turn and look at you, much to the annoyance of their wifes. We enjoy some fine wine and excellent seafood. Then we return to the hotel and enter my room, I lock the door and hug and kiss you. I open a bottle of champaign and we sip bubbly while looking at each other. You say, what do you want to do? I say, I would like to watch you take off that dress. You loosen the shoulder straps and allow the dress to drop to the floor revealing your shapely body. You remove the light bra you were wearing, revealing you lovely puffy shemale titties. I look at your panties and full of shemale goodies. By now I am beside myself with lust. I kneel down and push my face into your crotch feeling the warmth of your goodies inside your panties. I slowly pull down your panties and watch your lovely cock rise to the occasion. I kiss it on the tip and a drop of precum appears. I lick it up and begin loving your cock with my tongue and stroking the shaft. You encourage me to continue and I eagerly oblige. Soon you grasp my head with both hands and begin rapidly thrusting your throbbing cock in and out of my mouth. Suddenly I feel your hot sweet cum spurting into my mouth, I eagerly suck it up and swallow every drop. Umm delicious! As you finish cumming I carefully lick up every drop of your oozing cum. Meanwhile, my cock is dripping precum anxiously awaiting you wet lips.
We spent the night embraced in sound sleep. In the morning we hug and kiss, arrange for a meeting after the conference and I head out to give my talk feeling ten years younger. :inlove::respect:

And even more pathetic yet that someone who was once in a successful, legitimate career threw it all away to prostitute.

More comments from the man behind the curtain.

I traded in a dead end job for a true career I have thousands of fans who adore me as a woman artist and writer. Its comical you can't fathom that go ahead retort with some personal insult you only look more pathetic.

WOW is all I can say. My favorite line:

Your puffy shemale titties

I'm having implant surgery next week so you may need to change your description.

Melissa

$$$$$
 

I think it's great that you can get paid for something you enjoy doing!

implants
 

Dear Melissa,
I hope the implants go well. If they are not too large and well done then they can be sexy.;):kiss:
Love,
Randolph

Take note how this douchebag disappears on weekends. He will return on Monday, no doubt chime in from behind his anonymous profile on his work computer and assault me with More denigrating remarks. That's why this board is lame, because it tolerates this kind of conduct towards an established and revered member of the TS world.

Thank you for your good wishes. Please remember I'm not geting them for you or anyone else or anyone's vision of a sexier me.
They will be fuller and most likely c cups not d's. I do all augmentations with symmetry and a natural look in mind.

Thank you again for your thoughts.

Sometimes I enjoy it sometimes I don't. What I do enjoy always is the freedom and autonomy this vocation offers not to mention it is lucrative and I travel a lot. Just got back from Washington DC, Baltimore and Virginia the week before I was in long island and the week before Boston and Hartford.

nice..so much travel..cool..
not my cup of tea...i travel a bit too..but not soo much..

LMAO! Wait, this is just TOO good to pass up!!!
"As less than a doctor, lawyer, or any other professional simply because she is an escort."

Melissa, I know you love to boast about what you do. I came to realize a while back that it's basically impossible to take anything you say serious simply because it's always just SO ridiculously "out there". But let me get this latest Melissa-ism straight: In terms of the working world... in terms of being recognized as a "professional"... NOW you are actually trying to rank being an escort side-by-side with being a DOCTOR???

Tell you what, let's run this one off, shall we?

To be a DOCTOR...

1) While everyone else is taking average High School classes,
you have to take A.P. (advanced placement) college level classes instead.
And you have to do well in them and then nail your SATs, scoring in the upper level,
to get yourself into a good Undergraduate College...

2) You then have to go through 4 years of Undergraduate College
(all the while making sure you still get nothing but TOP grades)...

3) You then have to pass the MCATS
(which are among the hardest exams on the face of the Earth)...

4) You then have to go through further years of Medical School...
(again making sure you get nothing but TOP grades)...

5) You then have to do Residency work at an established hospital,
working long and sleepless shifts around the clock...

And once you've done all of that and spent (on average these days) anywhere
between $225,000 to $250,000 just to get through the educational phase...

...Only then can you actually start doing your job, which is regarded by essentially every civilized culture in the world as one of the highest callings that any person could possibly pursue since your career is now centered on HELPING, PRESERVING, AND SAVING HUMAN LIVES.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the scale, to be an ESCORT...

...The ONLY job skill you need to know is how to lay in bed.
Which last time I checked, we all learned as infants.

So, you have GOT to be kidding me. In the most laughable moment yet, your king-sized ego is actually going to try and claim that being an escort ranks equal on the "professional" scale -- in terms of intellect, schooling, training and, perhaps most important of all, purpose in life -- to being a DOCTOR? You're actually going to try and claim that being an Escort deserves the same kind of "respect" from people you pass on the street as a DOCTOR?

You know, I had another post, but it will have to wait. That's because right now I can't see my keyboard and type because I'm wiping too many tears from my eyes from laughing sooooo hard over this one!

snigger
 

:lol:seriously,i don't think he does,on the other hand i think you do:lol:

Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to activate Quick Reply.

You prove my point exactly, CreativeMind. You see me, and I assume any other woman in the sex industry, as a less valuable human being than a doctor. It took you an hour to make your fascist long-winded point, but you made it. Congratulations, you are part of the problem.

Com on man. Regardless of their "training" most of the time doctors are guessing how to treat someone. They are not much more that witch doctors.
A good escort knows how to treat her client. I suspect escort clients feel a lot better after wards that doctors clients.
We all know that the worlds oldest profession is.;):coupling::turnon::respect:

Hitler
 

Did you know that Hitler had only one testicle?
Apparently he lost the other one in WW1.
Too bad he didn't lose both.:lol:

LMAO!!! Wait...wait...I have to come to Smoldering's defense because once again this is just TOO good to pass up. Tell you what, Ms. Ego Head Case, here's what no one can comically fathom...

If you actually have "thousands of fans" who adore you AS an artist and a writer (your exact words), then WHY the hell would you even NEED to work as an escort? Seriously, if you're a REAL writer or artist with "thousands of fans" then WHY do you need to have sex with strangers for cash? Not to mention, if you have such a large and committed fan base that is SO dedicated to following your creative work -- which in turn MUST give you some economic freedom -- then WHY would you also possibly jeopardize any loving relationship that you could pursue by being a sex worker?

Me, I just ask speaking as someone who actually HAS written things that have sold in the thousands (and thousands and thousands on top of that) and who HAS made a living as a professional writer. But a funny thing, while I was out at the bank cashing my checks, I don't recall ever needing to work as an escort on the side. Nor do I recall suddenly feeling an urgent need to screw around on someone that I was currently seeing. Why? Gee, maybe because actually having thousands of people purchase my work actually did allow me to pay the bills, which in turn allowed me to center my romantic focus on whoever I was seeing at the time.

So, who exactly are these "thousands of fans" adoring you? I just ask (and openly mock) considering that each of your posts contains the link to your web site, which in turn leads to your online blog. Yet I see that your latest blog entry generated a whopping ONE guy posting in the comments section.

Better still, if you have "thousands of fans" that adore you... I mean, that's a helluva lot of people who would DEFINITELY jump at a chance to see you or be with you... then why don't you explain to us all why you wrote in your blog only 3 weeks ago (quote):

My trip to Boston was so-so. The trip was loaded with guys jerking me around in one form or another, and this continues even back home in New Jersey. I have generally seen an increase in guys playing games, which as you know I call the dickhead factor. The dickhead factor (the ratio of people who call with impure motives, that is they have no real intention of dating) which I originally set at 50% and then adjusted to 75% is now at an all-time high of 90%.

Gee, claiming to have "thousands" of fans versus ONE guy visiting your blog and people now not even booking you.
Yeah, those numbers balance out... in a Twilight Zone dimension!

LMAO!!!!!! Now you're a "revered" member of the TS world? You're suddenly a perceived LEADER in the TS world? Gee, that's rather laughable since it's coming from the very same person who previously has ranted that she would NOT help anyone coming up behind her or be supportive with advice or offer any help to a fellow TS. So, with an attitude as self-serving as yours, now you think you're "revered" by your fellow TS?

Well, why not?
Since you have imaginary fans, you might as well believe in imaginary adulation TOO :p

It's called having talent, a brain, and being smart enough to juggle your time.
You should try it some time.

For crying out loud, I'm not starring in a weekly series, Melissa. Besides, it's not THAT time consuming. In Hollywood, you can often have a shooting time of 8 AM and be done by 3 or 4, thus leaving you the rest of the afternoon and the evening to do other things. Plus, in person, most people find me to be a pretty darn nice guy (mirror held up to me) , so having a pleasant "easy to work with" attitude on a set and not a Drama Queen personality (mirror held up to you) also helps you to land repeated work. There's a valuable tip in that for you, if you're actually smart enough to pick up on it.

As for my art, I've drawn all my life and by the time I was a senior in High School I had already won different contests and state awards. I then turned down a college art scholarship to pursue other interests instead. But I've never stopped working on my art and -- like most people who have an artistic side -- I continue to do it even as a way to relax. Which means I always find spare time to sneak in working on a new piece or project, even if it means burning the midnight oil just because it's important to me to work on something.

And finally as for my "dissertations" -- well, see, that just proves MY background is true unlike the claims you make. You see, when you're REALLY a working writer (i.e. you actually get paid for it) it means you can think conceptually on the spot, you can type relatively fast or with comfortable ease, and then move on. For example, this post took me all of a whopping 2 minutes to write. See, that's what a PROFESSIONAL writer does unlike some people (mirror turned on Melissa again) who make similar claims and yet who can barely manage one sentence replies -- which even then are usually filled with typos galore and pis poor grammatical errors. Which certainly speaks volumes about your own so-called "professional" background.

Translation for the perpetually dim: with a bloated ego like yours and since you walk around with such a chip on your shoulder -- and since you talk and type so horrendously, too -- I guess it's no wonder you got shit-canned from so many jobs and were reduced to becoming a sex worker.

Well, gee, Einstein, here's a staggering thought for your pea-sized brain to TRY and get around -- maybe because this is a public web board where most people want their privacy protected? Maybe because people are here to simply share in a common interest and that's all there is to it? IF I wanted you to know everything about me, Melissa, I'd direct you to my professional web page, much like others that are here could do as well. But given the topic at hand, there's really no need for that, now is there?

Or as I've posted before, did it ever occur to you that there ARE people here who HAVE become friends...who DO trade emails or pictures or chat away from the site...once they personally found that they liked each other? And while doing that, they likewise realized there was no need to tell the rest of the entire world?

So, when it comes to this constant and now incredibly tiresome Drama Queen rant that you continually whine about -- namely about people revealing "who" they are -- let's just cut through all the self-deluded, outrageously stupid, and egotistical bullshit that you spread like fertilizer on these boards and just say the REAL truth...

At a sex site, the ONLY person who would actually benefit from immediately "showing all" and giving out their real name and photos and private, personal contact information would be a hooker openly trying to solicit herself and thus pick up another cheap trick and some cash.

Oh, wait -- light bulb going off over my head.
I guess that explains why you're always so desperate to tell all, now doesn't it, Melissa?

Did you ACTUALLY read what you wrote?

Okay, let's run through these scenarios and try...TRY, Melissa...to actually imagine how the VAST majority of people and society as a whole would look at this.

1) You live in a small town, population a few thousand. People get sick all the time -- that's fact of life. So WHICH do you think the few thousand people want more of in their town? Doctors they can visit in an office or sex workers parading on the local street corner?

2) You live in a major city where (due to the sheer number of people that live tightly together in a close proximity) diseases -- as mild as a cold or flu or possibly something far more contagious and serious --can spread like wildfire. So which do you think a city needs more of? Doctors or escorts?

3) You're on a small tropical island. Seasonally they have to deal with assorted illnesses due to the tropical weather or they need medical assistance from when a bad storm hits and injures large numbers of people. Or just being an island paradise, they have tourists who accidentally give themselves a nasty cut on some coral while snorkeling, a cut so bad it requires stitching. So pop quiz again - which do you think the Island populace would rather have on hand? A Doctor or a hooker?

You want me to go on with examples?

Please, Melissa, you're just making this laughingly TOO easy now and just making yourself look TOO ridiculously stupid now...

Enough
 

Enough of the name calling, character assassination, and denigrating people's occupations. Any more and I'll close the thread to further posts.

So Ila deleted my post!

I guess now I have to get ready for the weekend "make-up fuck".:censored:

[QUOTE=CreativeMind;51022]Did you ACTUALLY read what you wrote?

imagine how the VAST majority of people and society as a whole would look at this.

damn your eyes man, who gives a fuck about the vast majority of people. and your scenario's are realy only one scenario, you'd think this was the eighteen hundreds and people where dying in the street the way thats writen. far more people are horny than sick.

Wow! I'm everything a transexual... no, wait, let me quote you accurately... that a woman hates most? Hmm, that sounds pretty bad.

Huh. That's odd. If every TS and woman "hates" a guy like me, then I guess I'll have to find a new explanation for all the PMs I keep finding in my mailbox from the other TS who visit this site, who write to me privately to say they agree with most of the things I've been saying.

Go figure.

Translation: you have no way to back up your assertion. In other words, it's the old political trick (which we see pulled out every election season) tha tis meant to quickly shut down any reporter who starts to raise an eyebrow and ask questions that a politician doesn't want to answer or doesn't want to be put on the spot about -- and thus he wants to avoid the question at all costs since the real answer would be quite revealing. So, it's the old political dodge of someone getting up in front of a microphone and saying something and therefore it MUST be trust...and no one should dare question it...because, after all, the person SAID it. And isn't that enough?

Gee, now that's an interesting response to the whole "doctor" debate.
In fact, why don't we talk about that?

Instead of addressing the actual points or argument presented to you, instead you go crying to the moderators because -- once again -- someone DARED to question your core assertions or DARED to voice an opposing viewpoint. Which frankly is what good, stimulating, intellectual discourse on a message board is about.

In fact, that's the very reason for HAVING a message board where people can interact. For example, let's take this out of the realm of a sex site. Let's say this was the message board for a web site dedicated to talking about the movies -- where (just like this place) using their own private IDs --- you'd have actors or directors or technical members of the crew stopping by to post and share their thoughts on movies that were out, that they worked on, that were made by people they know in the industry. So, on the message board, you'd have actual movie people mingling with the fans and the general movie-going public.

So, basically going by your line of thinking, no one should EVER say something bad about a movie they saw. No one should EVER voice a critical viewpoint. After all, it's a movie site, right? And if real Hollywood people are stopping by, then offering up criticisms or saying "Gee, I really didn't think your movie was very good" should be forbidden. All because YOUR viewpoint, Melissa, would be to stomp your feet and say -- literally in a perfect parallel to what you said above -- "I would ask the moderators to admonish any member who assails or denigrates the work of an actor, director, writer, or technical crew member. It is antithetical to the spirit of this site, where most of the people who are admired and discussed here are some or all of the above."

However, what I find really fascinating and laughable...and two can play at this game on call on the Moderators...is the double standard game you love to play, Melissa. You want to run and cry to the moderators for support when someone voices an opinion you don't like or dares to challenge you...you want to make a plea like you did above saying "it's antithetical to the spirit of this site" to "denigrate a escort, model, sex worker or adult actress"...

...And yet if we're going to talk about ACTUAL denigration which is antithetical to the "spirit of this site", here's something I'm curious about.

All across these message boards you perpetually pick on someone like SmolderingTemptress. Why? Simply because she often voices a different opinion from you. You repeatedly mock her simply because she won't post her picture (all because Smoldering simply wants her privacy protected). And yet I find it utterly amazing that the very SAME person who is now calling on the moderators to "admonish" anyone who "denigrates" someone (translation: you want a wall of protection because of your occupation, and you want free reign to say whatever YOU want while others are held in check)...

...Is also the SAME person who in this very same thread has called Smoldering "an anonymous piece of shit"... then called her "mister" (which is certainly an insult to a fellow TS)...and THEN just to top it off you wrote about Smoldering (and I quote): And still you contend to be a TS, one of "us". I see you have a cartoon image now for your avatar. LOL what a fucking twit. People, this is a man. A man who deep down inside wants to be TS but doesn't have the guts. A man who hides behind his computer espousing the virtues of a saint yet can't even put up a picture of his face. Why would you give this loser an ounce of credibility?

Me, I like speaking up.
Why? Because double standards should never be tolerated.

So I call bullshit on your double-standard of "denigration" and things that are "antithetical to the spirit of the site."

Agree with CreativeMind, he has good standpoints and its only ridiculous to call them "fascist".
He is NOT what TS or women in general hates most, its rather all what Melissa stands for that is a nightmare for most men who wants a serius relationship.

Melissa
 

I would suggest that "Creative Mind" reduce the blather and read Melissa's life story on her website. She is one tough lady, not many of us would have made it through what she has gone through.

This thread has gone way off the topic. How about members posting answers to the question posed in the first post.

i know, who gives a fuck about how popular anyone is or isn't its fucking boring. although that said, i have fify six real friends and a hundred and fifteen myspace friends and someone once told me i have a nice arse and i'm a milionaire ninja astronaught that fights crime in my spare time. top that, yew slags.

It wouldn't bother me at all. I would actually enjoy it if she came home a little 'messy', if you get where I'm going with that.

Who cares?
 

Hey if we love each other who cares what kinda "job" she has. As long as she takes precautions to stay disease free does it matter that she wears knee pads to work? Just think of the all the guys she meets in a week. You could chronicle her career in a book or even several books and make a fortune. I would be more concerned with the following:

1. In later years you can both see the same urologist.
2. Damn! Honey, have you been using my rogaine?
3. Smoking! Seems like most of those "gals" haven't heard the word yet about
how bad smoking is.
4. Get 2-for-1 deals on wigs.
5. Help her pick out a draw string for her anus.
6. When you get up to pee at night she's already sitting there on the can!
Why? Because you are both genetically identical - XY!


Oh yeah! "Cool" and "Wow"

Oh gee, more fun with fake Melissa math.
Of course, as is usual with Melissa-isms, you have to read between the lines...

Gee, 290,000 views over 2 1/2 YEARS? Wow, that number means so much to a guy whose last project sold 70,000 in one month alone. Which means you're also not even in my league since another project of mine sold nearly 1,000,000. Oh, and in case you're mathematically challenged, Melissa, that's 70,000 plus the 1 million plus the figures on other things, which means my numbers instantly dwarf your 290.

Not to mention, page "views" are always a deceptively false number. In fact, here's a news flash for you about Yahoo: every time YOU look at your own 360 page, it counts as a "view"... when you type up a new blog post and hit enter, technically updating the page, it counts as a view... if you refresh the page, to simply be sure that your new entry looks and reads right, its another view. The result: you can add 3, 4, or 10 views a shot to your "views" count all while simply trying to add a single new entry. Translation: the "view" numbers ramp up very, very quickly which makes the overall tally pointless.

Of course, here's the more telling truth. If 290,000 "views" were truly reflective of your "fan" base, then why only 200 friends? People who actually want to be notified of any updates about you? Why is that yet again you love to brag about how many "fans" you have... about how "revered" you are... and yet you have only ONE PERSON posting a comment at your blog? Gee, you'd think that someone -- no, a actual super star! -- who had 290,000 fans would have more than ONE GUY wanting to say something to them. That alone speaks volumes about how "off" your 290,000 number is from reality.

Which ultimately brings us to the HUGE difference between us, Melissa. You're ridiculously trying to compare the number of people who checked out a FREE web page to the number of people who actually PAID for something. You're laughably trying to compare the number of people who read a ranting post of yours and thought "Who the hell is this person?", at which point they clicked on a link and checked out your profile, versus in my case they actually reached into their pocket and said "Hey, this looks so good that I'll actually spend some of my own hard-earned money to BUY it."

Sorry, they're not the same thing by a mile.
But nice try again, Ace.

LMAO! I have to say I find it hysterical that this is the billionth time that you've declared you have "no time to talk about things", yet you keep coming back and posting away. And frankly, you're the one looking a bit silly now with all the sarcastic comments, name-calling, and pathetic snipes at fellow board members here. In fact, here's an observation that everyone can clearly see now...

Have you noticed, Melissa, that you CAN'T leave well enough alone? Have you noticed that you just HAVE to get the last word in, to always try and drown out any opposing thought? To make sure it's YOUR way or NO way at all? As proof of this, have you noticed that you often post a response to something and then...even after some time has passed and even after the comments have moved onward...that in a sure sign of a personality that just can't let go, you will actually go back and excerpt someone's post yet again, all so you can post yet again on the very same comment? In other words, you'll actually reply to something you already replied to!

You responded to my post about your fan base (in Post 142) and said: "And may I add my popularity is something I will not defend. When I state I have thousands of fans that is no exxageration." Really? Gee, so then what's up with this post? What happened to this being something "I will not defend." I thought you had nothing more to say on the matter. And yet -- what a shock! -- here you are again, this time trotting out Yahoo figures that took me all of 30 seconds to rip apart and show how meaningless they are.

So, I guess in the future whenever you declare "this is the last I'll say about it" what you REALLY mean is we can all look forward to another post where -- yet again -- you'll try to get the last word in.

Me, I can't wait.
Because I'm sure it'll be another rant that I can -- yet again -- debunk in 30 seconds flat.

this thread has turned into a pissing contest, who gives a fuck how many people have read your shit. thats for both of you.

Other points...
 

1. Words have gender - People have sex.
2. You need to look up the definition of Fascism.
3. Just because someone believes they are Napoleon doesn't make him (or her) Napoleon. Ronald Regan may have let the mentally ill out of the hospitals, but the judges are falsely providing the mentally ill with legal definitions where there are no scientific ones. People are sick of sick judges and have passed prop 8 in California.

I'm curious what your point being here is.. seriously..

1) words have gender..indeed they do - people have sex.. sure. People also have identity that includes gender. People also have biological sex that is not neatly classified (XXX and XXY for example)

2) I think Melissa's assessment of your post was pretty spot on

3) Ahh.. so my understanding of myself is a mental illness? Gay folks seeking legal recognition of their relationships is mental illness? Trolling Message Boards on the Internet is....???

1) Sure, I suppose... or I'll just stick to my own doctor, or get a gynocologist if I decide to have SRS
2) One of the lovely things about taking hormone therapy is, well, is stops male pattern baldness. You can keep the rogaine
3) Yeah, lots of folks smoke.
4) See #2
5) WTF?
6) People are not genetically identical. I also didn't know that having to take a pee in the middle of the night was exclusively a man-thing. My mom would be amazed.

Wow, after reading through most of the comments in this thread I'm amazed to see people flaming other people for their opinion. I know I'm new to this forum and I have not read Melissa's story yet, but flaming someone for an opinion seems to be going to far.

If a person chooses to do a certain job - read this correctly, chooses - then that's a choice they make. But, the "sex industry" has a strange reputation either way you look at it. From what I saw so far on this forum though, and I came here for a reason, there's a bigger want for tgirls then there are tgirls around. So I think we should be glad there are girls out there who stomach the sometimes "far fetched" fantasies some men have out there.

On the other hand, if somebody is against doing escort work, the moral blah aside, it's their opinion. They may have the wrong arguments but be realistic, if you react strongly, it'll only provoke more blah and will not change their minds. (not withstanding that you're making the correct point of course ;) )

To answer the original question: I have not been in the situation myself so I cannot say anything conclusively really. I trust though I'm open minded enough to accept it as a part of my partners life. Just as I hope that she will accept that I work 12 hours a day ;) So the answer would be the option "it shouldn't" ;)

Well, before this turns into a book :) I hope that the surgery went as you hoped Melissa and you're recovering from it well.

Could'nt have put this any better.......exactly how I feel......As to the original question:.... you can meet, fall in love and have a successful, long-term and beautiful relationship with a TS escort! My partner was escorting when we met and now share a loving, close and very satisfying life together.

After all the heated up discussions:

Simple answer to a simple question: YES!

And it doesn't matter whether she is a TS or a GG.

I'm not talking about "being together" or other sorts of loose relationships. If I am truly in love with someone I want everything related to love (and that incluces all sorts of sexual activities) to be exclusive between me and my loved one.

I would rather tend to work harder to compensate for the loss in income if my loved one gave up escorting because I would assume it to be "just a job to raise income".

If she would insist in continuing escorting I would suspect it could be more than a job.

Apart from that escorting is as much an acceptable job as any other.

At some points in the debate you sound a bit outraged but that may be attributed to the experiences you have made with "guys".

I can assure you that you have my FULL respect as a TS or escort or whatever because in the first place you are a human being and as such as valuable to me as any other human being as long as you don't prove to be an asshole.

And up to this point I have no evidence that you are. :)

Not at all
 

i love whorish sluts,and i don't give a :censored: if i have to pay for play ,at least i don't sit home fantasizing about romance and love,all i want to do is fuck and suck...........:inlove:

my answer
 

to get back to the original question,
for myself, if a ts is an escort/adult entertainer that does not automatically rule out romance. there are many levels and ways to romance someone, & i am certainly agreeable to a good number of those ways, if, of course, the girl & i find our space to groove.
however, i know myself well & if i felt the desire to take the relationship to a deeper level, or if it naturally was becoming something more intimate & personal, i could not live with my girl giving herself to others. thats just me. maybe thats selfish, but that is what is important to me. i also hold myself to the same standards though...i dont want to be with others when i have my girl by my side. to me, thats the best part of life, when i find a girl that is my best friend, lover, playmate, kink-explorer, buddy, trusted partner, teacher, student, etc, all rolled up into one great relationship. ive had a few longer-term situations in my time, & im hoping to one day find the one who will go the distance with me. for these reasons, it would hurt me too much, id get jealous, upset, & crazy if i felt this type of deeply for someone & they were lying down with someone else.

so, romance, no problem...deeper relationship, no way...& the past is the past, ill never hold that against her.

this is just my honest answer to a tough question, sorry if you dont agree, but its my answer.

ok-so now i see that the question asks if she told me after, or as i was getting head over heels for her. in this case, unfortunately, i still couldnt live with it. if i tried to put up with it, i just know id end up raising hell, so i couldnt stay. however, if she was head over heels for me too, then she would know this & she wouldnt want to put me through that anyway.

i feel that if its true love, that is whats most important (to me), & any occupation pales in comparison to true love.

again, just my honest answer,

i've only been a member for a couple of days, and it was by accident from what i googled. but i've recently, while exploring the site, been discovering some interesting topics, like this one. not like i'm any kind of expert, but i think there's a fine line between escort and prostitute. i don't know the mechanics, but i know sex in exchange for money is involved in both. so i wonder if the pay is good enough before the sex (in the case of escorting, obviously) that it's easy enough to give up upon entering a meaningful relationship. it's kind of cliche to say that sacrifices need to be made in a relationship, compromises i understand. i think that most people who are in the escort business rarely fall for a client, though i could be wrong. maybe a similar situation would be porn stars falling for each other. there would be a concern for the average person in a relationship with a professional. trust can only go so far and it is different on a case by case basis. some people habitually lie. that being said, you can't really have a rule of thumb for every relationship. some people can be trusted while others can't. it may be contingent on the magnitude of the feelings each in the relationship have for one another. obviously each person will react differently to the news that their mate works in the profession, and some who are in the profession are more easily capable of compartmentalizing their feelings when doing their jobs. to accept it or not is actually only part of the question that should be asked, what is also a factor in this sort of situation is how genuine each person's feelings are for the other in the relationship, regardless of the genders involved. it can only be on a case by case basis. sorry if that raised more questions than it answered

i realized that i didn't actually answer the question. i wouldn't be able to accept this part of my mate's life because i am a possessive person and feel that kind of attention should be reserved only for the person you love. some people are less jealous than me in a relationship, but since when i fall for someone, i dedicate all my heart to that person, i feel that if it's meant to be it will be a mutual deication. sorry if that disappoints anyone, but like i said, that's just me. it's different on a case by case basis

I'm a TS Escort in her 60's and have no trouble attracting girlfriends. I'm upfront with them some dont like it, who cares
