Power Transfer for Trannys

There are other words that have undergone this same transformation, words like "fag" or "dyke" or that one that rhymes with "snigger," but has nothing to do with laughter.

No one is suggesting that one give up the right to speak honestly and openly about any subject - merely that if you want to call a Jewish person a "kike," or a homosexual a "fag," or a transexual a "tranny" and you are not a member of one of those communities using the term in an ironic self-referential sort of way, that you should be prepared to be known as a bigot - because that is what you are honestly and openly expressing.

I honestly do not wish to be insulting to you, Hope, nor to expand this "sidebar" on the OP's message, but why do you find yourself unable to type a derogatory term that "rhymes with 'snigger,'" yet find it O.K. to post a term that is an equally derogatory expletive offensive to Jewish people?

My SO and I have been trying (gentle) power exchanges where I get to play the maid, for years.

She's not really been comfortable with her Mistress role ordering me around. She says she doesn't know what to say or do. I want her to enjoy it as much as I but she's been trying to please me... pleasing her (if that makes sense). I love her for it but it wont work that way. I can't feel submissive and powerless if she she doesn't enjoy feeling dominant powerful.

We've not had a lot of success until recently...

I purchased Ms Rika's book "Uniquely Rika" and read it. As I did, it finally dawned on me what the issue really was. I shared the book with my SO and all of a sudden it "clicked" for both of us. It explained how we could both enjoy our power exchange sessions without the fear or confusion. We've put the recommendations into practice and its started to work for us.

Anyway, that's our story in a nutshell... I've found it difficult to locate others with similar interests in gentle D&S and crossdressing. There are a lot of extreme sites out there that don't really appeal. Happy to share experiences here with others of similar interests.

The rhyme about sticks and stones is bullshit.

With all due respect Hope; only for those with thin skin and who consider it proper to defer their responsibilities on to others (namely the government). Why do you think a strong and profound Jewish mantra is “never again”? As it was their rights that were first removed in order to make it legal and viable to remove their culture. Speech agreeable or disagreeable is a right when used against a political movement. I recognize that there are many derogatory words in our culture which I distain. When used we should give them no effect as giving them credence empowers the user. I like many, who hear those words, am of the mind to understand the ignorance of the person speaking them. It is my objections to conversations about limiting words and the use of those words that I oppose. It is not that those words are proper and considerate.
I am here exercising my right speak out against some that have political motivations to place prohibitions on what some would consider Ideological differences. Using terms such as volatile or hate speech to pursue their agenda (the smallest infraction of people shouldn't say __?__ will lead to the political movment to make a illegal precidence of that opinon.
I consider standing up for one’s own rights to defend ones platforms. To demonize your opponent is not to argue your platform righteously or fairly it is to remove my objections by humiliation and or the pursuit of legal means. This excersice on your part is not valid for making your point or protective of anyone’s rights.

When I hear some speak of words being removed and I object, it is not because I love those words I simply love a person’s right to speak their honest opinion. I’ll then make up my own mind as to their worth to me. Contrary to popular progressive opinion, people actually do have the ability to be ration and reasonably decide what it is that they like or dislike.
It is quite clear to me that your ideology is larger than your ability to think openly and freely. There are current "hate crimes and hate speach" that exist in many forms which have been created by those whose soul intent is to sensor people’s opinion and thought. Our rights to live and hold our opinions have been viciously attacked by those who simply and emotionaly disagree. When an ideology can not constitute itself with logic and truthful rational, it often seeks to prevent others from opposing it with regulation.

So again I ask, once we've found vehicles to limit ones speech, will it then be necessary to find vehicles to limit ones thoughts? This is a frightening progression, and one I oppose. As prohibitions on speech do not detain hate. They can in fact provoke it. These are natural human emotions. It is our duty only teach and inform so as to prevent. It is not to sensor and arrests that which we find offensive.
In doing so, we enflame those who are being gagged. It's my opinion if it's not liked or shared that is your right. But by calling me out directly or implied as a bigot means you have simply exhibited that which you claim to despise.

Listen, I'm not the submissive type whether dressed or not.
That doesn't stop Jean from telling me what to do!

I also have no trouble with the word "trannie". Back on topic, in the 5 years that Tina has seen the light of day, she has always been "girlfriend". The two of them (my wife and Tina) have joked a bit about a "french maid" outfit and all that goes with it, but so far it's just been a laugh. For those of us who have never ben in a D/s situation, it would be interesting to hear how some of us have made it work.

When I read the title of this thread, Power Transfer for Trannys, I think of two or more transgender people touching rings, a magical light show with lots of smoke and mirrors, and beautiful women or handsome men suddenly appearing.

I am far from submissive in the way you mean. As joanieb said, I think that there is a natural tendency for women to please, to do what is necessary to keep a mate, to ensure their nest has love and tenderness, is clean and healthy. I for one do not understand the bdsm side of submissive nor do I care to. I just want to be the woman I am supposed to be living in this world in peace and harmony with all the others I share this planet with. If you want to enjoy the bdsm lifestyle as a submissive it is your prerogative, enjoy as long as that is what makes you happy.

I enjoy "regular xdressing" but my spouse and I are into some D/s, where I occassionally like to switch and be submissive especially when "forced feminization" comes to play. it is a real turn-on, of course anything having to do with feminine clothing is exciting. Thanks for sharing. Jamie

What would I do, for example, if I found myself with a dominant woman who wanted me to submit to her desire that I conform to a more traditionally masculine role?

My situation exactly.

With all due respect Hope; only for those with thin skin and who consider it proper to defer their responsibilities on to others (namely the government).

No one is asking for a round up or a series of arrests. No one is deferring their responsibility to ... wait, what is the responsibility you are accusing me of shirking on the government? No one (well at least not this evil liberal progressive pinko) is suggesting that any word be "banned." Calm yourself there constitutional scholar. The ACLU (an organization to which I proudly belong - do you?) has fought long and hard to assure you, and every American, of those rights.

To demonize your opponent is not to argue your platform righteously or fairly it is to remove my objections by humiliation and or the pursuit of legal means. This excersice on your part is not valid for making your point or protective of anyone’s rights.

And then...

Contrary to popular progressive opinion, people actually do have the ability to be ration and reasonably decide what it is that they like or dislike. It is quite clear to me that your ideology is larger than your ability to think openly and freely.

Me thinks the gentleman protests too much.

But by calling me out directly or implied as a bigot means you have simply exhibited that which you claim to despise.

No one called you a bigot. Certainly not me. What I did say was that if you knowingly and intentionally wish to use terms deemed by society to be hurtful to others, in a hurtful and disrespectful manner - then you are a bigot. If you feel like you are being called a bigot, by being asked not to use a variety of hate-filled words - then you are self selecting for that designation.

Besides, even if I did call you a bigot, I would expect, after your little tirade, to vigorously and loudly defend my right to do so (that is what the ACLU would do). After all, you can decide for yourself if being called a "bigot" is mean and hurtful can't you? (you insisted you could) A rose by any other name and all?
