Thanks

I'd rather not make a list. I could possibly leave out words or expressions that some may find offensive and others not or I may include words that some would think are not offensive.

I think it's better that members use their own judgement. If a word or expression, to someone posting, may look offensive to that person then perhaps another word would be better. Sometimes it's all in the context or intent as to whether something is offensive.

I'm not going to ban anyone or give out warnings for what someone says unless that person is malicious or continually insulting others. I may sometimes ask a question of intent or ask someone to rephrase or reword a post. However, there is no reason to walk on eggshells.

I give Ila applause. No one needs to be banned for hurting anyone's feelings. I mean why are you gonna' come to Trans ladyboy forums if you are offended by the titles of Tranny, shemale, Ladyboy and so on?

I mean I know where those titles come from. I am not proud of them nor offended by them. But there are a lot of good men that are attracted to us by nothing more than those pronouns, I am not gonna' be hurt by whatever pronoun they use for me. I will tell them what I would rather be called and usually ion private I like the pronoun " Dirty Bitch".

So no. If you are trans and offended by Tranny or Shemale then this is the wrong place. I am actually proud to be a Tranny. being called a shemale doesn't bother me either. If I don't know you and you call me a stuck up Bitch then that is MS. Stuckupbitch please.

OK so I am a She male. What the hell else can you call me. Well you can be respectful and use female pronouns and that goes a long way but at the end of the day I have a penis (male) and I am psychologically a female so I am a "she" and a biological male so that makes me a "shemale". I am also transgender so that makes me a Tranny and Shemale.

I just don't understand why these descriptions are so offensive when they empower so many of us from high priced escorts to porn stars. I mean gay now is not even taboo. Trans kind of but, screw it. I am a tranny so sue me.

Found this today as I sought more info to the very topic you're speaking of. I added a post for terminology identification. Having just replied to another member I recalled a name from a while back. I remembered you and some of the hardships you encountered but couldn't exactly recall your tag [name]. I don't think I'll forget 'you wonderful you' ever again.
More importantly, your sound advice and logical thinking behind all your comments were always a bright spot to TLB.
