Are We an Ignored Minority?

By the way, I've found that the terms Gynemimetophilia and Gynandromorphophilia have been coined to describe people who are attracted to transwomen.

We may refer to ourselves as Gynandromorphophiles and to transwomen as Gynandromorphs.

The suffix "philia" makes it sound like a perversion, like paedophilia or necrophilia.

To be honest, I have no idea of how to describe this type of attraction. Transwomen are just like genetic women emotionally, therefore attraction to transwomen must be a physical thing, so that would make males here hetero-emotional, but Gynandromorphosexual.

I don't have this problem, I identify as pansexual (publicly I identify as bi, people have enough trouble understanding bisexuality, I am met with blank faces if I mention pansexuality).

I never was big on labels, and thats all those terms are. Just a way of putting an individual in a catagory, sort of a pigeon hole.

People are afraid of people like us, as they are also afraid of transgendered. People will always be afraid of something they don't, and refuse to understand. Thats why I'm thankful we all have a forum like this, where people of like interest can gather and discuss what we have in common without judgment.

I'm not hurting anyone with my attraction to transgendered ladies, and for the most part, the transgendered ladies aren't hurting anyone either.

With that said, "Screw em" if they don't like us.
