How does a TS look so girl real?

[Shylittleshade]

Hi GGirls.

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this, but, here goes. With all the research I've done over the past week relating to my discovery of the BF's Cding, (which, if you've followed the other thread of mine, update is not going well. He is not responding to any of my communications, I think I shocked the living daylights out of him, so I'm just backing off for a while, giving him time and space), but I've looked at sites that feature TV/TG/TS and have a question about Transsexuals. ********.

These men/women do not at all look like men, or that they ever were boys. They look more female than I do. From any angle, except for one. It is almost like they are morphed or like the photo is doctored. It is exceptional, especially the soft beauty of their faces. How are they able to get the soft, curvy body, realistic breasts and soft facial features and still have their male genitals? Hormones, plastic surgery, genetic predisposition, all of the above? Is this what a TS appears like before the final surgery? A lot of these sites, obviously are porn sites, but, do most TS keep their male parts and add in the female features? There is one site, Gia Darling, who looks like a playboy pinup with one exception.

I know I am showing my midwest naivete here, but, I'm just trying to wrap my head around all this.

I will corect Tammy and say PLASTIC SURGERY {first}, photo doctoring, and then make up. There is a "she-male" {ack I hate that word} who writes for a local gay weekly and she has described in detail all the work that many of them get done. SOme of it legal, some less so. Cheek implants, butt implants, feminine facial surgery, massive amounts of electrolosis and yes hormones for some when taken at a young age can make a huge difference.

Then there are those who basically inject large quanities of silicone directly into their bodies where they want soft fullness. Of course you gotta wonder what they are going to look like when all those chemicals start eating away at their insides. THe amount of illegal Doctoring that goes on or cheap Dr.s in foreign contries who have very little standards of care are more like butchers than anything. Sometimes the grade of silicone is not even medical and there have been many documented cases of this through the years.

I will warn you this week, it is very gross.
she basically paid for many of her physical changes via prostitution. I have seen before and after photos of her as she was featured in a series {tv show} here in our country a couple of years back. SHe used to be a really cute gay boy...now she just looks like this fake plastic person.

That said, I know some ts's who have had the srs and those usually happen it seems after the age of 40. The hormones and surgeries are not as huge a change because in many cases I dont' think regular working folks make the HUGE cash that is needed for "she-male" like plastic surgery. Most of the ts's I have met over that age range don't look to much different than a well groomed crossdresser. Usually the big thing is they have had some breast augmentation or a nose job, but not to the level as those 'working-girls' get.
That one girl who writes that coloum claims to have spent over $100,000 to get the way she looks now. I don't doubt it and I also think some become obsessed by the surgery and that need to look even more beautiful than before.
