Don't call me late for dinner.
I am not offended by the words unless they convey a disturbing attitude.
I understand that some of you guys are like being lost in the woods and come across a clearing. You don't know quite what to do with it. I understand you're search for words.

Mostly I am offended by the thought that because we are TS we also must be sluts and 'ho's.

Regarding the last point, I recently took a member here to task for writing something (seemingly innocently) that came across as thinking that way. To his credit, he understood immediately and was very sorry.

There is much work to be done.

I saw that post, and you were very quick on the draw. As always.

Thanks. Some things I like to do nice and slow, though (when that's what's called for )

Well call me a prude but I think people think of TS as sluts and ho's because so many of us act like sluts and ho's. I think there's a lot of people that don't really want to explore their feminity, they just what to play dress up and get fucked. I love sex like anybody else, but I'm not dressing up and waiting at the dock for the sailors to come home.

And what victim would you be referring to? All I'm saying is if you wear a police officers uniform and act with authority people will think you're a cop, if you wear a fire fighters outfit and put out fires people will think you're a fire fighter. If you dress like a porn star and go around showing your ass what would people think of you? As far as transgender goes that behavior takes away from us because so many people perceive us as perverted man jerking off in dresses and sadly to many of us only live to confirm that.

I agree that "if you wear a police officers uniform and act with authority people will think you're a cop," and so on, but here's what you wrote to which I replied:

"I think people think of TS as sluts and ho's because so many of us act like sluts and ho's"

I think that the percentage of transgendered people who "act like sluts and ho's" is no different than in any other segment of the population. However, people write stuff like this (see the initial post in the thread and my subsequent response):

The "victim" to whom I was referring is the trangender person who gets lumped into a stereotyped group because of the asinine prejudice, perhaps even subconscious, that is expressed in that post.
