Straight guys and transsexual women...

[Plasibeau]

And if I may add a word (certain to be unpopular): Enough with the man-bashing too! "Neanderthal"... "homophobic"... "shallow"... Lordy! When I am a man I think as a man, and as a man I have feelings too (indeed have been encouraged by the female tribe to have them) and if I feel nervous, upset, unhappy, distressed by the thought or experience of my male friends dressing up and behaving as women, then I say, that's my own damn right! I'm a sensitive dude. ;-)

For the record, I have dressed up for numerous (curious) male friends and not a one of them has become unfriendly later. One went out walking with me, another even danced with me. They were having fun. After all, guys just want to have fun!

I would have to agree, with what she said but to add my :2c: we're forgetting the psychology of the the entire situation. Because of social conditioning, especially dealing with a binary sex society, a man or woman is going to look at a man or woman and expect that is what all they see. Yes, as a transsexual we do have the right to keep our horrid pasts at bay; but at the same time who are we to be angry when a person is confronted with the unexpected?

Kara, you're beautiful darling. And I know a few guys who would trip over their own toungs if they ever met you. But unfortunatly they almost kill themselves running away once they found out that you were born with a birth defect. Not because they're homophobic or bad men. But because it complete screws with what they've been taught is feminine and what isn't. So what it really comes down is social conditioning and well thats just my humble opinion.
