Going to meet an admirer Monday.

Have fun Louise. I think most of the messages have been a bit condescending. Grown-ups have sex! You're not a teenybopper and you have the right to do whatever you damn well please. ;-)

Remember this is the same crowd that insisted I had the same HIV risk as a drug using tranny prostitute. ...and I've only had sex with ONE guy in over a year.

This is a pretty timid bunch regarding adult sexuality so brace yourself.

Do you read? Do you watch the news?

For reading on HIV risks for TG and the lack of care for this group, read WPATH's Publications. Here's one article: http://www.wpath.org/journal/www.iia...n/kammerer.htm

Here are 10 more: http://www.wpath.org/journal/www.iia...on/index-2.htm

Some of these studies look at low SES as a factor that further aggravates risks, but it has been further shown that TS women may have problems in salary compensation and job offers. If you aren't in the highest risk groups and are protecting yourself, pat yourself on the back. However, politically-minded people that read and turn on the news have big problems with groups that NEED health care and are being denied based on gender factors. Excuse yourself right out of seeking health care justice for marginalized groups if it doesn't interest you.

Also, I encourage you to read the news on violence towards the TG population, and GGs. This is why meeting people that you are kind of unsure about needs to be done safely. Any woman meeting up with someone that she doesn't know well for whatever intentions needs to be looking out for number 1 (herself).

It may be "timid," but I say it's damn right stupid if you aren't careful.
