I know, it's a provocative headline, and I doubt it applies to anyone here at this good forum. This forum would be considered below their standards anyway, I'm certain. But I sense that there is a hard core political group of (mostly post-op) MTF trans*women, who sort of has "monopolized" or "taken a patent out on" transsexuality.

They are the ones who'd definitely hate my little ass for even DARING to speak of Asian trans*life (my boy, my boy, my boy, my boy... my little LADYboy... Fergie, Black Eyed Peas) and they are the ones who'd NEVER allow a man into their life unless he would commit to transsexuality IN SPITE of himself. Well, most of them are probably trans*lesbians anyway and would consider a trans*woman attracted to men a "fake gay".

I've met such types on a Danish forum once. They hated my ass vehemently and called me a discusting little ladyboy lover (I dunno about discusting, but the rest holds water). I also remember one of my "unworthy" Asian trans*friends smilingly stating that probably I shouldn't worry too much about that as I for sure would have the backing of every single Asian transsexual... :-)

My point is that this can become TOO political and emotional. I admit freely that I adore transsexuality on so many levels - one of them also being able to view it in a rather relaxed way, joking about it, smiling about it, discussing it freely from all sides without the fear of stepping on someone's tranny*toes...

Somehow I sense some degree of (understandable) insecurity in these women - as if they cannot really come to terms with their transsexuality. Hence, they would never love a guy-like-me who actually loves a girl-like-them because that in itself would be submitting to the fact that their cromosomes are XY and not XX.

As if transsexuality is ONLY for them to define and shame on us who actually have a more empirical approach and actually just adore it.

Why should it for example be a crime to be attracted to a pretty trans*woman? Does anyone doubt the logic for guys being attracted to pretty cis*women? And where is the difference?

I never really subscribed to the "right mind in the wrong body" stuff. That is based on a denial and disrespect of transsexuality as an identification IN IT'S OWN RIGHT. Do you really think, ladies, that it would have been better if you were born bio-women? I think not.

Fiona once stated it extremely clear and beautifully. She said: "I'm a woman, a TRANSSEXUAL woman, and I want to be. I don't want to be a bio-woman, I'm unique as I am as a transsexual". I adored her for stating it that precisely and eloquently. She was SO right. She stated the pride that every single little tranny in this world should feel...
