And, I'm pretty sure that I've answered you points (the few there besides the namecalling). You on the other hand have not answered a SINGLE point I asked except to call it irrelevant.

I do not need to drag out a dictionary to state that you're being hypocritical in saying you care so much about the TS Community and yet you support the very industry that you're so adamantly opposed to. Let's see...

HANK - HATES the 'damage' that the Porn Industry does to the souls of the models they hire.

HANK - Admittedly uses porn and hires TS prostitutes... probably perpetuating a lifestyle for those whom he hires.

YEP... sounds like hypocrisy to me.

You obviously have some issues with your own sexuality and are alleviating your conscience by displacing your own feelings of guilt on the industry, which you think makes you stand out as a bright beacon in a seedy world. FAIL.

I won't speak for other companies but I don't think it's out of place to say that Grooby Productions has probably donated more time, energy, and dollars in ONE MONTH towards promoting TS rights awareness via blogs, ts message boards, and supporting models who CHOOSE to stay in the industry, than you have in your lifetime.

What's the last letter you wrote to your Congressmen / women about TS rights? I've written five in the last month regarding local issues here in PDX and in Oregon. What are you doing in Indonesia to raise human rights awareness, besides hiring prostitutes (cheap blow I know)?

SO... it is NOT at all irrelevant to ask you HOW you're helping the TS Community that you SEEM to care so much about? How many of those damaged souls are you repairing? How much time and energy are you devoting to making sure those prostitutes you hire are making good life decisions and getting out of a self-perpetuating cycle? Cause if you're doing NOTHING, except railing away on message boards (as I suspect), then you ARE a hypocrite. And by portraying yourself as something otherwise IS shallow.

OK, I tire of arguing with you. This is my final post on the matter in response to you. Others, I'll respond accordingly.

Krissy, I already rested my case, and you and I will never be able to agree on these matters. So I will not comment on your current post here.

If you feel that I went after you personally, then I do apologize - it was your concept and not your person I was after.

I'm sure you're a nice person and that we under different circumstances could have been good friends.

So be it.

Peace!

Hank

Piracy results in an overall depression of wages and earnings for models, since the producers will try and maintain their profit margins at all costs. This ends up shutting down projects run by Trans women and sending models to a handful of companies that are big enough that they can continue operating regardless of piracy. Arguably, since it is admitted that TS rely to a heavy extent on the sex trade for basic survival, this is bad for the TS community. Whats more, because there are so few companies that are big enough to earn a profit TS are forced to work without much bargaining power regarding wages.
