Some of us don't have the luxury of outting ourselves right now. I do as much as I can with my Yahoo avatar and all, but I just can't risk taking pictures, especially of my face, at the moment. Given that so many others have been in this position as well, why is it so hard to understand?

Yes there is a bias.
Why?
Well its about commitment.
Every single one of us does have the luxury of outting ourselves right now.

We all face the same sacrifices & loss of "Male privilege"

Julia Serano, a transsexual woman who's awesome book, Whipping Girl Transsexual Scapegoating of Femininity goes into this.

Those who walk the walk {& usually sacrificed everything to do so} don't like being put in the same genra as part-timers, or weekend warriors.

Though its a bit "up your own arse"

On another Trans forum, one of my best friends, Evil Helen {After a year calling her that, she now uses it as her handle!} quoted the number of members of the site:

I represent myself this week {It changes a lot!} as a panty wearer doing it in secret, behind my imaginary wife's back,
...along with tasteful photos of my legs & some knickers lying on the ground...well artistic.

I went into the chat room for girls only {remember this is a tg site, mainly for cd's / tv's} And they all shouted at me ....saying "no men!"

All fucking barking.
Am I the only sane one on the net? Quack! ....
