Worrying trend on this site

[FMB]

First off let me make abundantly clear I am not having a go at anyone and I really enjoy this site and am only trying to express my own feelings.

This site is somewhere I believed encouraged the idea of freedom of thought and speech and I believe at its core that is still what it wishes to, that is why I find the recent trend (well recent to me as I've not been here long) a bit worrying.

Take for example the following scenario. A gay man comes on here and says "I like looking at women, I find them sexually attractive but I don't see myself settling down with one." There is no harm in that right? Yet when a straight (or bi whatever you believe) man comes in here with a fetish about shemales and says he couldn't see himself settling down he is read the riot act. It seems a little bit pointless to encourage the idea of allowing people whoever they are to express their desires and feelings while at the same time using some sort of reverse bigotry to "defend" those ladies on here who were not born in a woman's body.

I have spoken with some of them and as with any other walk of life some are nicer than others and some are a bit more honest than others. I won't name any names of course other than to say Fran and Bionca (whom I haven't spoken with sadly) come across as very beautiful, honest and sweet women.

If a woman born in a man's body has the choice to become who they believe they were born to be then I respect that decision, if that same woman decides she could only settle down with a "gg" (hate that term) or woman who has been through the same then I also respect that. So why pre tel should I or anyone else be put down or belittled based on our own choices? I don't believe it to be right, well because it isn't.

Don't get me wrong there is a difference between hurting someone's feelings or deliberately speaking out of turn but in some cases this has not been the issue and the issue has merely been someone's sexual preference and preference in desired long term partner and that's not right.
