While some folks identified as men and were vocal in support, none of them identified them selves (if any actually were) as men who date/love/fuck/lust over trans women.

Had men been honest, that could have gone some distance in dispelling that. Instead it was trans women *claiming* that their partners were hetero, that we don't trick guys, and that our lives are actually worth protecting.

Given a silver platter opportunity to be unidentified (Internet and all) an make a statement in support of trans women, I didn't see anything from fellas.

So, I know that in some cases you all are there one-on-one. But as a group men who date/fuck us don't step up to the plate very often, even when it poses very little risk to them.

BIONCA:

I'm not disagreeing with you, or questioning what you're saying.

I'm only referring to this site at 40%, which is all that I'm familiar with.

BTW, polls don't talk to everyone, it's a sample of the populace.

My thinking was that defending trans-women at this site wouldn't be a percentage of the whole, but of 40% of the whole.

In other words, if there were 100 guys on the site, only 40 would fit the category of defending the girls they sleep with, date, love, etc.

That was the comment I was seeking, but I probably butchered my explanation clarity.

I'm not disagreeing with you Tal. But, I really don't see it happening here at that rate, much less outside of here.

Some time when an older thread gets a new comment, check out some of the earlier posts. See how often "her" (with quotes) gets used or people use real girls and what not. Or check out some of the threads where I have had to address members misgendering the TG/TS/CD/TV/LB folks.

So guys dating us doesn't really translate to them being particularly vocal in support of us, even in situations where they are anonymous.
