My blog title is a smallish joke. Although I am one of many trans women with an opinion on a variety of topics. I'm not an expert on anything aside from my life, so it's mostly just opinion and conclusions drawn from highly unscientific observations.

Hi all.

I think John is right, there is a need for unity and you should try to help with that by posting thing that will educate one part about an other and in the process they will get a better view of the WHOLE tg comunity.

But in the end it is YOUR blog, and YOUR choice, but you SHOULD think about it.

That's not a bad idea, but that would require that I have an understanding of every facet of the greater community than I actually do. I can talk about the rift between pre/non- op gals and post-op gals since I'm in the thick of that. However, I don't really "get" Cross Dressers or TVs as I have never identified as either. It is important to me to provide information and opinion that does not "speak for" groups I am not a part of - too much bad information gets sread tat way and people get hurt.

I'll see what I can do though to talk about things that address more of the community.

On that note.. I have a new article up. It's the 2nd of 3 (maybe 4) giving my opinions on the Seacghai interview with Meghan Chavalier:

Hi there.

That's what i meant, I'm glad Sandra made it clearer than i, but what i wanted you to do was to post your take on being a trans woman to try to counter point all that is seen in porn and other mis-conseptions, and to try to get tv's, those who "consume" tg porn, and those who share their lives with trans women, these 4 interweaved groups need to get togather and get some "real" info out, talk about what you know, and "invite" others to post on the behalf of the other groups.

And THANKS for the help, SANDRA.

Well, it is an idea and one that I'm considering. I already have an online friend who will be contributing from a totally different perspective as a trans woman than I have.

I will say I have had pretty poor luck with guys actually contributing for my earlier blog. But I'm open to the idea.

It's a very interesting and insightful blog. I'm sorry to hear about your grandma.

I have a new post up that I think most trans women who date guys can relate to. Feel free to comment and stuff

A few years ago, I read something online written by a drag queen. She said she only had sex with gay guys, because "straight" guys who made a big deal out of wanting to have sex with her would freak - and sometimes be violent - when/after it actually happened. "Admirers" just can't be trusted, apparently.

Of course, we're talking about a lot of guys here. Big talkers on the internet, but if you put a dick in their faces, they'd panic. It happens with crossdressers all they time. They talk it up big on web sites, but when someone local asks them to hook up they suddenly can't make it. That's the difference between fantasy and reality.

TG people have to live it - rather different from fantasy. Good luck next time.
