Cd admirers, why are there so many?

[Melissa Rose]

Reine,

Getting a firm grip on words and their definitions sometimes can be like trying to hold Jello in your hands by squeezing. Admirers is more like an umbrella term that covers a lot of territory, but is often used with a more negative connotation that conjures up thoughts of pervy and creepy. We are on page 5 of this thread and still trying to achieve clarification or consistency of meaning. While I dislike the term "tranny chaser" (mainly because I really dislike the term tranny and less so for the phrase's negative connotation), IMHO it better fits those individuals who are more fetish based and with desires primarily or exclusively sexually driven. The difference is like saying "big game hunter" versus "animal lover". LOL. Regardless, whatever term is used or created, there will always be various definitions and disagreements. Squeezing Jello. I agree anyone who is attracted to a person and does not know they are transgendered is not an admirer. They are attracted to the person whether it is their appearance or personality. They may change their mind if or when they find out, but it does not change their initial attraction or motive.

My perception and experience is the number of men who are attracted to t-girls and would act on it (i.e., it is more than only a fantasy) is a low percentage of the overall male population. Subtract those who want to keep it completely discreet due to social and personal pressures and the number gets lower.* Those looking for either non-sleath casual dating or a LTR relationship is a small number. There are bisexuals, but that tends to refer more to sexual behavior and appetite and less about a partner preference. Most seem to have a biological sex partner preference, but enjoy sexual relationships with both. There is a subtle, but significant difference from those who are totally about the person and their biological sex does not matter. I suspect that is a rare person.

*Which makes my potential dating pool small. LOL but :-(


If anyone is wondering why I'm sometimes in a t-girl bar where the admirers congregate, it is because some of my t-girl friends are only comfortable in what they perceive to be CD/TG friendly places. It is also amusing to play spot the admirer and guess who they may approach or if they only orbit and watch.
