Yes, I found it rather strange and wonder why they did it. There culture is definitely different from ours.

[pretty_ladyboy]

A discussion over the word "Tranny".

I find the word insulting and would not use it. If any of my trans friends choose to use this term that is their right. Just as I wouldn?t use the word ?queer? except perhaps where it is used formally as in a description of curriculum such as ?queer studies? at a university.

[Amy]

On the toilet thing, I've noticed several universities and clubs in the UK have started doing this. Apparently it's because some individuals depending on how far they are along in transitioning, may feel uncomfortable in the men's and women's toilets.

I'm pretty conservative on most things. I believe in small government, secure borders, strong national defence, balanced budgets (as much as posible), right to life, and the death penalty. True, there are a lot of conservatives who are homoghobic and transphobic. However, I don't remember asking them or anyone else to approve what I do.

Na.
Ts women are vulnerable but in very different ways.
Even early transitioners {think late teens on}
are very different to young women.
Firstly, to get where we are, we either have a big support network
or we do it on our own, which despite being vulnerable,
makes us very streetwise.

A ts needs a lot of maintenance stuff just to look hot,
in a way that people-smugglers would know nothing about:
Think meds, bloods, hair removal...just the face hair for most ts who have not had IPL / lazer / electrolysis and so on.
Without all that a ts person would not be a sex slave, but a positive liability to any smuggler.
Also, trans is a taboo in most places.
Relative to a Day-one female sex worker coerced or otherwise
only a small % of people would pay for sex with one of us.
Brothels would not be interested.

So smugglers wouldn't bother.

Well, I am not so sure. Some Brothels in the Los Vegas area are now accepting transsexuals as sex workers. Also, Eros.com is sporting very beautiful transsexuals in many localities. I don't know if any of them are coerced, probably not.
The ladyboy situation in Thailand could very well be partially controlled by pimps and slavers.

Bangkok February 9, 2011. Newly formed Thai airline PC Air wants to be different from their competitors by hiring transsexual flight attendants. Being pretty and being feminine are the qualifications the ladyboys should have to join a new charter airline that will begin operations in early April. The airline has recruited four ladyboys, 19 women and seven men but said they will need to employ more transsexuals on their flights in the future. REUTERS/CHaiwat Subprasom

I'm on Eros as are a number of people I've personally known for years.
We are not coerced. By anyone at all.
Eros is for indy's.
I've never seen an agency or parlour ad on there.

[JodieTs]

Well it is an opportunity.
but the thing is most of us don't want to be highlighted as different.
Not as a special case. {Adult work acknowledged}
We just want to be treated like everyone else.

Is that a real person? Because it kinda seems like a computer generated image that is very close to climbing out of the Uncanny valley. She seems so static.

Apparently, you have never flown on any of the Asian airlines and experienced their flight attendants, who are typically so "perfect" in their looks and in the execution of their duties that anyone who has flown an American carrier might conclude that they are, in fact, cyborgs of some sort, or even replicants of the "Blade Runner" variety.

That is not meant to impugn any of these flight attendants. Rather, it is an expression of what is expected of them by their bosses.

Apparently, Lea T, the transsexual model had an interview with Oprah! Has anyone else seen this?

It's today's broadcast, according to the Google machine, which means the broadcast ended about 20 minutes ago here in the Boston market.

And it might have been the first time Oprah had a guest that would actually compel me to watch the show of the self-appointed most-important-person-in-the-world narcissist.

Nope. Never flown Asian. Are they all really that pretty?

More Blade Runner references please.

I have some horrific news to report. A transwoman was attacked at a McDonalds in Baltimore. She was so severely beaten that she went into a seizure. One thing that really disturbed me, in addition to this woman getting beaten, is that patrons (except for one older lady) and staff (it appears the manager did try to help) of the restaurant did nothing to halt the attack. Instead cell phone cameras were turned on to video the whole attack. My heart goes out to this woman and I sincerely hope that she makes a full recovery. She may require financial help with her medical bills. If so, I intend to donate and I will post a link here of where others may donate.

This is the link to the vicious beating:

There is also a follow up story that reports two suspects have been arrested. This is the link to that news story:

And that ladies and gentlemen is what we call deferred responsibility. Or maybe the McDonald's was staffed mostly with morons.

It is indeed a horrific act ... first and foremost by the 2 girls thugs who beat up the transwoman ... and then just as horrific none of the McDonalds employees coming to her aid (except for the Manager & older lady). It's almost as if everyone in there felt they were watching a reality television show with no consequences ... sad.

My heart goes out to the transwoman for a full recovery and I hope the two girls thugs are prosecuted to the fullest extent ...........

and in some way one can only hope that by this clip going viral that it will ultimately give more attention to the need for equal rights everywhere for trangendered people as loved human beings in society.

[smc]

As of late last night, the LGBT alliance at my university is in touch with Equality Maryland to find avenues for providing financial assistance for medical treatment and to discuss how to pressure the state of Maryland to prosecute this as a hate crime.

I've just been finding out about this It's sickening.

On youtube, I found a video where a guy is congratulating the people who stood and watched
Anyway in this video he uses the term "trap"

"So, the lady who was beat up at Mcdonalds is a Trap"

I'm assuming this is a derogatory term? I've never heard it before.

See this post of mine for a definition of "trap."

Speedy recovery for the beaten lady.

It is sad, but cruelty is not reserved only for males. Females could be also evil.

It is quite disheartening that this happens as often as it does. I don't just mean with the woman that was beaten in the article, but the fact that there are so many cowardly people that prefer to take pictures or videos just so they can be the "first" to post them on YouTube or other social media.

Numerous fights, stabbings, and other violent crimes have had this occur. I just don't understand the mentality of people today. It's like their empathy "button" is turned off. I don't blame video games or television like some of the "experts" do. I think that people need to take responsibility for their own actions(or lack thereof, in the case of idiotic bystanders that would prefer to "egg on" the thugs perpetrating these acts of cowardice).

Standing by and doing nothing because your life could seriously be in danger(a person could have a weapon for one thing) is one thing, but standing by acting like you are at a party is another. In this case I think the women could have been prevented from further hurting the woman being attacked, but the majority of people chose not to. While not as guilty as the cowardly woman doing the attacking, they are certainly guilty of gross indifference.

I just hope the woman makes a full recovery (and I hope that her continued progress can be posted in this thread), and that the two gutless pukes get sentenced to a decent amount of jailtime.

I hope Texass runs out of oil soon.

Texas' GOP House of Reps, noble guardians of our morality, have passed a bill requiring any public college with a resource center on "alternative" sexuality to provide equal funding to one promoting "traditional values," presumably like date rape and other beer-fueled heterosexual rampages. Young Conservatives hope this will ultimately close centers that "encourage folks who consider themselves homosexuals to go on considering themselves as such." Because God forbid we are allowed to be who we feel ourselves to be. People march here, an outraged protest here.

Equal time? You've got to be fucking kidding me. The entire culture is heteronormative. You don't need counseling centers for people for straight people. How often are heterosexuals attacked because they're straight?

This is like the people who claim same sex marriage is a special law because it's only for one specific group, which completely denies the fact that only heterosexuals can get married.

That is "balance" for "balance's" sake. That is to say: it's not really about balance and neither should it be. Intolerance should have no say.

Is this the same people who ask for creationism to have equal time in the classroom?

Today I raised a motion in the faculty senate at my university to protest this outrage at Oklahoma State University, where a faculty member has been denied tenure because she is a transsexual and her "lifestyle" is offensive to the Baptist beliefs of the vice president of academic affairs. I also submitted a motion to specify that our university can NEVER use any such reason for denying tenure (not that we would, but it's good to put it on the record).

I'm not familiar with rules in US, but I don't understand, what religious beliefs, lifestyles, sexual orientations and transgenderism have to do with State University? State University must be equal for all citizens, students and stuff without discrimination. Private faculties could have some different rules, because they are private property and it depends on owners.

I don't know where you're from. Each state (what are called provinces in most other countries) in the United States has its own rules. Some national rules supersede those, but when it comes to many social issues there are no federal protections. So, a state in the "Bible belt" -- such Oklahoma, the state in question here -- often tries to get away with shit like this, until a court case makes its way into the federal system and, perhaps, the federal justices overrule the state's decision.

The United States is not a land of equality for all its citizens with respect to religious beliefs, lifestyles, sexual orientation, and transgenderism. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar.
