oh and #5) He was just stating his opinion... :lol:

Careful aw9725, some people *cough* might think you are excusing away your well established lapdog...ism. And mine as well. Keep it quiet. Clearly whenever we agree with someone, especially when that someone is smc (who sometimes goes unnamed), we are kowtowing to him. It can't possibly be something reasonable was said and we are agreeing. So shhh. The plan to institute digital apartheid--whatever the fuck that might be--has to go off without a hitch.

Now I need to subscribe to this thread for the sake of morbid curiosity.

The thing is, it was actually KittyKaiti who first took on what JodieTS and only then aw9725 referred to as a "troll." So how did they get left out of this pack of lapdogs? :lol:

Actually, I'm thinking of a "career change" and instead of being a leader of what Enoch Root calls "digital apartheid" (oh, the exquisite irony!) I am going to ask Kaiti if I can audition as HER lapdog. :drool:

Seriously? Nothing about leaving out some of the lapdogs? ;)

I don't know why you should feel like a fool. I was thinking of "situational irony" where something has the opposite effect of what was intended. Not your intent, but that of someone else ... you know who.

By the way, exquisite was a COMPLIMENT!

While the major "shemale" content out there is porn related, in truth, the true transgendered people transition from M2F or F2M because they suffer from GID (Gender Identity Disorder). They were born of the wrong gender and have never felt comfortable in their natural bodies, so they sought out psychiatric help and got on to prescription hormone tablets (testosterone or estrogen, depending on their biological/physical gender, and what their mental/emotional/sexual gender is).

Not only this, but women are usually bi-sexual, just leaning towards either men or women as a preference, and most likely stay as women because they are attracted to femininity, so they believe that their partner would be as well, whereas a transsexual knows that they are unattractive physically to the type of person they are trying to attract, so they change themselves to suit who they feel they really are. Women are usually more open-minded and accepting of different shapes and forms, and are somewhat more pansexual than men (Pansexual meaning they choose their partners to aesthetic attraction and romantic feelings, rather than physical attributes).

Oh and in case you hadn't guessed by now, I voted that it was a matter of gender identity issue

Hope this has shed some light on the subject at hand, and sorry about the wall of text that slapped you in the face :P

Two people actually chose this option? I have one question for them. Why the fuck are/were you even at this site then?:censored:

There are other threads on this. Search the Chat about shemales forum. If I find an appropriate thread I'll move your thread there so that you can find the topics.

I believe that shemales are truly woman in mens bodies. Nature is not perfect and mistakes do happen.

but now, post op, there is nothing quite like belonging in your own head, your own body, and your own high heels :)

Although the notion that there is a real underlying gender identity is a delusion, it doesn't necessarily mean that transitioning is not justified.

After all, Blanchard (and his highly suspect data) essentially reduces gender identity to that to which one is attracted.
