Thank you for your time to post this. Would I be correct in assuming that the terminology is not static and keeps changing and being added on to ?

I did read somewhere on some blog or site, where there was a post by a TS, who felt offended by the term shemale. I understand and respect that, however when searching I noticed it is used a lot on commercial sites and blogs use Shemale.

Very unfortunately for, I have had NO experience with any of the terms. I would love to find a Transsexual, to love, pamper and caress, as described in the Transsexual definition, with male genitalia here in Colorado. I don't think I can make it to Brazil or Thailand.

I had no idea that Ladyboy was about Asians.

Oh yes, male that term Futanari. Sometimes I see a cartoon type of photo and some real Asian photos and they are beautiful.

Am I correct in thinking that the TS's are getting more and more stunning?

Thanks,

Jon
