Hi, I'm new here.

[princess shawn]

Oops, I just learned from a PM that shemale is not an acceptable term to call myself. I've been crossdressing for years but I'm not familiar with the rules on using that word, and I thought it refers to anyone with breasts and a penis. Sorry if I offended anyone.

I thought M2F Tgirl means someone who had surgery and thus no longer has a penis. I still have mine.

The PM to which you refer was sent by me, and I want to make clear to everyone that I never, ever wrote that it is "not an acceptable term to call [your]self." That would fly in the face of my many, many posts that spell out my view that self-identification is an absolute right. You may call yourself whatever you wish.

What I did write was in response to your original post in this thread, in which you stated that "shemale" was not a choice in the gender selection. Like ila in a public post here, I noted that "M2F Tgirl" is a listed option. I then went on to suggest that calling yourself a "shemale" is unusual, given that this is generally a term used to identify pornstars, and that using that term to describe yourself might lead some here to doubt the veracity of your identification -- and generate some posts to that effect.

Oh I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Unfortunately, I don't use Skype. In fact, I'm not a big fan of any kind of instant messaging except private messages on a forum like this one. If you want to roleplay, we can do it by PM on this site. I find it easier and more convenient.
