Something got me thinking about this topic last night. A few times in the past I've been contacted by local people about meeting. The particular instances I'm thinking about right now were not members of this forum. Now I like to think that I know what's going on out there - I'm no kid - but some of the suggestions do raise questions. When someone local, who does not have a face pic online, says "We should hook up", what does that say? So you're the kind of person who takes every chance to have sex with total strangers? I'm what you might call a sex-positive person. I believe that what two - or more - people do in the privacy of a cheap motel room is their business. And even at my late baby boomer age, I'm still ready to go at the drop of a hat. But just becuase I put on a dress, that doesn't mean that I forget about the risk of nasty diseases. But the truth is, the people who are most active in getting together are probably the highest risks to deal with. So the person who gets right down to brass tacks is the last one I would want to meet with. If I was going to meet with anyone that is.
So I guess my topic is the intersection of fantasy and reality. The internet connects us with each other, with the barrier of anonymity. Which could encourage a runaway imagination. Which could lead to making poor decisions that we would never normally make leaking into "real life". Which could lead to bad news at the doctor's office.
So a sensible t-girl with a curious streak would need to stay away from those most likely to satisfy that curiousity. Like Groucho said, I wouldn't want to join any club that would have me as a member. Sometimes fantasies are best understood as just that - an exercise in imagination, and not a path towards any real life goal.
There's not question here - I just wanted to throw out the topic and see if anyone has thought about the general subject.
