Had men been honest, that could have gone some distance in dispelling that. Instead it was trans women *claiming* that their partners were hetero, that we don't trick guys, and that our lives are actually worth protecting.
Given a silver platter opportunity to be unidentified (Internet and all) an make a statement in support of trans women, I didn't see anything from fellas.
So, I know that in some cases you all are there one-on-one. But as a group men who date/fuck us don't step up to the plate very often, even when it poses very little risk to them.

BIONCA:
I'm not disagreeing with you, or questioning what you're saying.
I'm only referring to this site at 40%, which is all that I'm familiar with.
BTW, polls don't talk to everyone, it's a sample of the populace.
My thinking was that defending trans-women at this site wouldn't be a percentage of the whole, but of 40% of the whole.
In other words, if there were 100 guys on the site, only 40 would fit the category of defending the girls they sleep with, date, love, etc.
That was the comment I was seeking, but I probably butchered my explanation clarity.
