Just because somebody on youtube has more than one subscription to trans people doesn't necessarily mean they're tranny chasers. Perhaps some are, but that's not always the case. Speaking as a multiple subscriber to trans people, I do so because I love women and appreciate the wide spectrum of femininity. For the record, if I was dating a trans girl who planned to be post-op, I would completely encourage it so she could realize her full self, and my love for her would not diminish any.
and I don't even look at her that way anymore. I thought you were attractive since I first saw you, but you are into girls, etc. I am totally into tranny rights, trust me...I used to dress up and everything as a young man. I dressed since I was a child until I was 22. I personally don't hit on any tgirl if they are not non-op.
Just be yourself but you will definitely have to find a hard shell. I like chicks with dicks and genetic females. Tranny chaser? Maybe. But also I am a Womanizer. But, for real, I am at a point in my life where I want to be with a woman forever, transgendered or genetic. I grew up watching porn and all of these penises were in my face while the guy would have sex with a girl, etc. Maybe you are right about me, but I have a friend on the net whom is absolutely gorgeous and she is a tranny...
well done, everybody. erin, it's refreshing to hear you talk about the importance of our whole selves. true what some are saying, that we all have different proclivities. i'm lesbian. but i made a baby the old fashioned way! i think you could've said what you said here without being angry... but you WERE angry, so said it that way... which is fine. all of the folks here (almost) are giving me hope. this younger generation looking big concepts eye to eye, and with respect. sweet.
It's better to say that "YOU" specifically are a normal person. Some of us appreciate that people have peculiar fetishes/infatuations with tgirls / girls with something extra. I'm a self proclaimed non-op but I take hormones.
I run into the same problem. I'm in my 2nd Month of HRT.
THAT is natural in to me. Health issues? The potential 'risks' are more than worth then pay-off to me.
If someone tells you that you should be 'happy with yourself', THEY are really saying is THEY ARE HAPPY with your body and could care a less what your needs are or what makes you happy. THEY are will most typically be narcissistic psychopaths.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Mr. Please
You look and sound a hot damn mess. You sound like a squeak box. You should be happy someone is chasing you sounding like you swallowed a whole bucket of helium.
Wow, Erin you could not have asked for better video replies! What a diverse group of people with totally different experiences! I watched all of you and argee with a lot of what was said. In all, I think the 4 of you put together is probably the best description of the situation and definition of what a Tranny Chaser is. I agree with one of the comments below: I too do not like to use the word Tranny. Some people however in the community use it to be empowering like some use Queer.
I think I reply this late but really my policy is if the guy is an assh&(*le F898K then forget it, I try not to use labels. just go what you feel with any guy
For me, I realize that some men may be exclusively attracted to transwomen post or pre op. It becomes a problem when they don't care about romance or dating or getting to know you- it's all about trans being sex objects.
Then again- isn't that what annoys us about creepy straight guys with women?
A year later, I'm sure you're way past this, but I'm about in this place now in my life and I think you nailed it on all points. I don't like penises either, on me or anyone else. And someone who wants a penis? C'mon guys--just admit you're gay and get it over with. BUT, there's one slight attraction to girls who were trans: They're probably less likely to freak on that "Um, there's something I need to tell you" moment, early in the relationship (hopefully very early)... Is this T/Cing too?
I find it fascinating and it helps me better understand this lifestyle, along with the one I lead (bisexuality) in the military nonetheless. Congrats on being so sophisticated, mature, and eloquently spoken about these things. I admire a woman with character.
The last part ;0) made me giggle because listen girl, I think we ALL feel you there. Wouldn't it be nice if the people we dated weren't always trying to get in the panties? Thats straight across the board; unless its men, they kinda want you to get in theirs.
I appreciate you sharing your POV, it was a hard thing to deal with, knowing this about someone I loved. Like I said though; it was just with a trans. woman, it was with ALL kinds of women ;0) Ill be subscribing to your blog.
if youve got any insight, please let me in on it because i am trying to understand this. Mainly because I discovered my last ex went behind my back with a transsexual woman. And that, as any kind of cheating, is hard on the self esteem and the soul.
I'm sorry to hear that, and I could see how it might shape some of your views. Unfortunately it is true that many men seek out the company of transwomen because they want to "experiment" with their sexuality but don't want to "be a faggot". I find that just as detestable as you do, though for different reasons. I don't know this person who cheated on you, but I'd be willing to bet that their cheating had less to do with you and had more to do with them questioning their own sexuality. ?
a perversion such as TRANNY CHASERS porn or the men who specifically seek them out for sex only. Now what of that? Thats almost like men who seek out animals for beastiality or young girls for pedophilia, etc etc. If you want to fall in love, fall in love. But what of the places that offer it as some sort of taboo? I am highly confused by the stigma surrounding that.
I think you hit on here exactly the reason I made this video. I deplore when men, or anyone really, go looking to date or have sex with transwomen for fetish or curiosity reasons. The whole point of this video i'd rather someone date me because they like me for who I am rather than what is or isn't between my legs.
Men want whats in between a woman's legs even if they aren't transgender. You made yourself attractive with your transformation. Your making more complicated than it is and (no offense) it has more to do with how you feel about yourself than someone into you. If guys didn't except and like you for yourself, it would be too difficult for a transgender person. It wouldn't be fair to surprise people. And as for as your sex organ, maybe guys just want to please you.
Ok. Well that "sort of" answers my question. And I, by no means meant to insult you. I've no right pointing fingers because I myself color outside the lines too. However, you consider yourself a woman, even though you still have the male organs. To me, a man who sleeps with....well lets just say I don't consider men who are with TS/TG/CD straight. Just like I do not consider myself straight. Because I am into women. However, I guess my issue is with the men who exploit it as a sexual perversion
...steal a straight man. What is the fetish? What is the fascination? And if you are a man seeking a tranny woman and you're married with children, do your wife the favor of being honest. To me, it would be devastating to learn my man would rather be with another person anyway. I don;t know, feel free to respond. I am highly confused. But really girl, live your life. As god intended you to. I don't believe there should be hatred towards you because you are internally a woman. There's no need.
I don't think that is just a trans thing... in my experience that is just a woman thing. I don't feel i can speak to this topic very well since I would never be the "other woman"... I respect myself more than that... I'll agree that there are people like that out there who are trans, but that is such a small percentage that I hardly think it would be fair to apply that standard to all, or even most, trans women.
The other thing here is that, and this was really the point of this specific video, is that I don't want some guy to be with me because he is "curious"... to me I'm just a girl, and I want to be treated like that in whatever relationship I choose to be in... I don't want to be with someone because they are "curious" or whatever. That being said, if I were to be dating a straight man I would consider him to be exactly that... straight. If he wanted to be buy then he should just date a guy.
@grishno You don't look a guy so unless a guy dates guys that look like guys then I don't think you shouldn't say bi. That just makes it hard to aproach and commit to transsexuals. I confess I'm emotional because I thought I was cool and then I find all these videos with MTF hurt and angry that men like them. I understand you want to be respected as a woman with a prejudice world. And you can't trust everyone. But you should just be careful but lighten up
When a man sneaks behind his g/f and or wife's back to be with a tranny girl, that is something that makes me a little uneasy. I understand sexual curiousity; but why is it that alot of tranny women have attitudes towards genetic girls? Or that somehow they think they're more woman than I am? That they can please my man better than I can? Etc etc.
Please help me to understand the difference. To me, you seem genuine. You want to fall in love. But there are those tranny girls who want to steal ...
Ok, so I have a question. And please do not take this as bashing you in any way. I do not have issues with transgendered people or gay people. I myself am bisexual. I am a genetic female for one; and am sort of threatened by tranny's for one reason. I'll put a scenario that I commonly see: tranny chasers. You addressed this here. Why is it that a man, who considers himself "straight" (and often married) will seek out a tranny girl to satisfy curiosity? To me, that makes him bisexual. Continued..
How would you respond to someone who was exclusively attracted to females and liked transwomen more than cisgendered women because transwomen concentrate more on the emotional bonding and on general body attraction and not so much on what is in your pants? Incidently, I am way too old to be chasing you; I am asking strictly to better understand your perspective.
I would say that that is a over generalization. I know plenty of cisgender women who are way better at that than transwomen, and vice-versa. I mean, I know some guys who like transwomen because they can usually relate better on things like playing video games or reading comic books, and I'm fine with that... I guess my point is that you can't toss everyone who is trans or everyone who is cisgendered into a box and say "this one thing applies to all of you".
Thanks for your quick response. I certainly wouldn't expect all transwomen to be better (or worse) than all cisgenderedwomen, but I would expect the probability of certain attributes to be different. From your answer, it does not appear that someone pursueing a transwoman because of characteristic(s) unrelated to the presence of a penis fits your perception of a "trannychaser".
I'm a non-trans lesbian who has dated one trans woman and slept with a handful more. I've been involved with more non-trans women than trans women. I'm dating a non-trans woman now, but if I were single, I'd totally date another trans woman if she was someone that I liked. I sometimes wonder if trans women would be wary about dating someone like me, who has a history of dating other trans women. Do I fall into the chaser category? You and Morgan are both cute, either way. :)
I don't think that makes you a chaser at all. Fact of the matter is that if it weren't for people who aren't concerned about dating transfolk then we'd have no one to date... and how fun is that. Just based on your comment it seems more like you're attracted to the person rather than the fact that they're trans... really this video is aimed at those people out there who would want to date me for the sole reason that I am trans... there is way more to me than being trans.
I don't understand why people have a dislike of tranvestites, if they want to become the opposte gender then nothing should stop them, personally i'm neither a tranny or a tranny chaser but nobody likes the body their born with, i don't like my legs or my nose, and maybe i'll get surgery in the future, or maybe not, but if anybody whats to change their anatomy then go them, for they are human.
Appreciate the support but I would like to make one clarification. Transvestites are people who dress in the clothing opposite their gender for sexual pleasure. That's all fine and dandy if someone wants to do that, but I just don't want to be equated with that kind of thing.
I'd prefer "girl", but if it must be made clear that I wasn't born a girl then "transgirl" or "transsexual" will do nicely.
I watched this video a while ago but I guess I forgot to comment. Or I did on my other name, but anyway, I agree with what you said even though I'm f2m. I've had some bizarre experiences with the chasing.
I had a guy who said he was straight but would turn gay for me and he treated me like a guy but he only wanted to have sex with me because of my anatomy... I'm not even into guys anyway which made it worse.. maybe I'll make a vid response for the flipside of the trans community. Excellent video
i dont think your a fuck you have a right to do what ever you feel is right.i mean im mot a tranny. but i still admier the fact that your confudens and the fact that you can go on youtube and say somthing that you know that not everyone is going to agree on
Mhm. I know exactly what you mean. Some of these tranny chasers just get it from "shemale porn" which is really popular. Some tranny chasers are gay guys in denial. Anyway, being transgender isn't who you are, it's something you are going through. Good vid.
You aren't wrong. The mental effects of HRT is the main reason I'm transitioning. My brain just loves estrogen. Testosterone made me crazy, irritable, and depressed. It (HRT) saved my life. As for SRS? I'd rather be penetrated than penetrate someone. It's just that simple.
I consider those afflicted with so-called GID to have a physical birth-defect, not a mental disorder. Every person I know that has had SRS no longer has GID.
While there may be an element of sexual preference in attraction: same sex, opposite sex or transsexual, this can be taken to an extreme, becoming a fetish and someone is objectified and seen only for her genitals and gender presentation rather than who she is.
You are a lovely woman who is in the process of rectifying a birth defect!
It's probably too late to respond to this, but....You sound like your irritation with "tranny chasers" is making you discriminate. Not all poeple who like attractive/feminine transgenders/sexuals are creepy old men who only care about penis's on chicks. Some guys can be 20, love both bio and trans women, love penis or vagina, etc, and still love you for who you are as a person. A guy may chase girls with pretty faces, it doesn't make simply a pretty face chaser. He can still love the girl.
Really what I was mad at was a conversation I had with a boy where he tried to convince me not to get SRS because I "Should be happy with the body I have". But if I lived my life with that attitude then I'd still be living as a guy so his whole argument didn't make any sense. The main thing though is that I hear so many men telling transgirls to not have SRS and that kind of thing just pissed me off so much... I could get into why it does but that would take way more that 500 characters.
I'm not trans but I agree (I know, I'm opinionated LOL), I think its exploitative if someone is not viewing you completely as a person but rather as a tool to act out their fantasies.
I have a very simple solution, tranny chasers should be seen as horny guys looking for a one night stand and simply prefer TRANNYS you should deal with them as such FUCK AND DUMP or IGNORE.
I don`t think there is any difference between straight, gay and tranny chasers it is all TASTE!
you are a fucking retard and i hate you your a man a fucking man and no matter what you do you will alwasy sound like a man have the jaw of a man and look like a man. Commit suicied and die whore peice of shit. YOu need to be killed and burned and shited on and fucked in your wound made by a doctor so men can fuck you in it. YOU stupid fuck u got no personallity u sux dick
(cont.) My first impression was, and still remains, that you are a female. Everyone is going to have a wide array of opinions on gender reassignment surgery, especially since it is fairly new. But it HAS worked and as long as it's safe and you are sure you want it for yourself, I support you all the way. :) People are going to give you alot of their advice, but in the end, no one can decide for you what your mind and spirit are truly telling you.
And just an FYI sort of thing.. GRS has actually been around since the 40's and 50's... It's just never really been in the public eye as much as it is these days.
Hey there, :) I just stumbled across your channel and this is the first of your videos I've watched and I find what you have to say really interesting. I agree that Tranny Chasers are going after an idea (possibly an idea that turns them on) rather then falling in love with the actual person. In some cases, maybe they're not aware of it themselves that they are going after someone for all the wrong reasons.
I'm a straight female and all; but just for the record, I think you're quite pretty..
I agree with you. I don't know all that much about gender reassignment, but you should do what makes you happy. Now, I'm gay, and the thought of the world losing a perfectly good penis, I shudder.
as far as tranny chasers, I dont really know what to say. I guess I could be called a chubby chaser. I'm attracted to "bigger" men, but that's something physical. Tranny chasing seems more like an idea that gets them off. Whatever, to each his own, as long as we all get off, right?
This is the first of your blogs that I've seen and I really enjoyed it. You're giving transsexuals everywhere a real voice, not a character (ie johnny boy). currently I'm pre-med and my my med school of choice is pushing for me to pick a specialization so I seem more focused. It's people like you who are pushing me more and more towards becoming a gender specialist. Thank you.
grishno, I really needed to see this video. Without exception, every tranny I have ever seen, heard, read, or talked to has been shrill, defensive, hormonal, and--to put it bluntly--crazy.
I get it. Most transgendered people don't want to get into complicated issues with other people because they have enough of their own issues to deal with. And many deal with it by being deliberately offensive. You deal with it by turning on your camera and giving a reasoned explanation of who you are.
You are severely limeted in the man that will like you for who you are.
And the only man i can think of are man that are careless about gender, man, woman and tranny anything goes as long as the person inside is appealing to them.
I have to ask, why gender reassignment surgery? I can understand hormone therapy but why remove your genitalia -- not to sound crass but wouldn't that effectively make you a eunuch, making you uninterested in sex? I think you're perfectly fine the way you are Erin. Just my 2 cents but I'm sure a lot of other hetero guys would agree with me.
I think you should get a little bit more educated on the subject. SRS doesn't remove the genitals, it inverts them and creates fully functional vagina that is virtually indistinguishable from a genetic girls vagina. I could have sex and have orgasms all I wanted. Far from being a eunuch.
And how would you feel if you had a vagina on your body? I am sure that you wouldn't like it being there every time you looked at yourself and knew you weren't fully who you wanted to be. That's how I feel.
What about all the horror stories about post ops that lose their libido?
Maybe the guys that are attracted to you think you're unique physically and by nature you're exotic & attractive in that regard in addition to whatever else they find attractive about you. but you're misconstruing them as 'chasers'.
I don't recall ever using the word chaser in this conversation? Though I do strongly disagree with your opinion.
I'll be frank, even if something went terribly wrong with my srs (which is extremely rare) and I was no longer able to have sex I would still rather that than having to look in the mirror every day and realize that I'm not the girl I want to be.
And if someone finds me unique and erotic because I'm not 100% the girl I want to be then fuck them; I don't need that holding me down.
Not all men who are attracted to transexuals are 'tranny chasers'. Some also want to have a relationship as well, as hard as that may be for a straight man in a closed-minded society.
Hi Erin I think that you are an amazing woman and (excuse the pun but)you have a lot of balls to confront this issue but you have in a very mature and eliquent manner. I take my hat of to you and hope that you find that extra special person who loves the true woman inside. A person is their mind not their body. Lots of love.
You are brave and awesome! Great blog, finally someone stands up to tranny chasers! I think they are gross and porn freaks. They see trans women as things and not women. You're he/it/she instead of a plain she. I don't really get the chick with a dick fascination.
I suppose the way to put it is, I am attracted to women. Within that I am attracted to them as a person, not just because they have a vag, haha.
Someone could be attracted to transgender people, and within that they are attracted to them as a person, not just because of what is between their legs.
The side issue then becomes, how is that a 'sexual prefence'?
I think the crux of it is, if a person is indeed that way inclined, they would need to be respectful of the fact that the person they are seeking a relationship is indeed going to go through a full transition.
Because, although this isn't 'proven' or anything, I've seen people talk about the fact that they are exclusively attracted to transgender people, in the same way a gay man is exclusively attracted to men.
Just as I wouldn't persecute a gay person, I wouldn't want to criticise someone else's 'sexual preference', which is where it become a funny issue.
I fully agree. If there weren't people out there who are attracted to girls like me I'd be one single chicka. I just want it to be for the right reasons.
Thanks for being so genuine and articulate. The fact that this vlog has drawn so many comments for so long is a testament to your effectiveness and to why so many love you for your mind.
It's one thing to tell someone to be happy with who they are if they want to dye their hair or something but... if it really effects how you feel about who you are it's not of his damn business!
You need to do what it takes to feel happy with you, girl! :)
PS: I haven't been able to define my sexual orientation any other way than translover.
One of my GF's wants SRS, and that for me, goes without saying. I told her it'd be silly not to get it. I want her to do whatever she needs to do to be happy in this life, and I did fall in love with her because we clicked so well, we have 95% of things in common.. all the rest of it and well, the penis is temporary but it all goes hand in hand.
I can agree with that kind of sentiment. But I think that the second you start telling someone not to pursue SRS (assuming that is their goal) then you've crossed the line. I think it is great that there are people out there who love us for the girls/boys that we are... if there weren't then I would be one single bitch.
I can understand that. I find it silly to tell a trans person not to take hormones or SRS, it all comes with it and like I said, my GF does whatever she needs to do. It doesn't bother me one single bit.
And for the record, she ended up chasing me! xD Because she fell in love with me and then a few weeks later I told her I loved her just as much and asked her out.
So it's a two-way street, but I do understand where you're coming from entirely. <3
You always speak from your heart. You're such a great girl. Tranny's are people. Not an object. Not a sexual taboo...you are a wonderful girl who I think someone could easily fall in love with for your heart.
You speak right from the heart.I see you as a person,not as a sexual object.Those who do,perhaps are those tranny chasers you talk about.Also fact is ,you are more attractive than many,regardless of gender footprint.I see no reason in the world for you to return to former mind set....Only my opinion
Even though i disagree with the views you expressed in your video, i think this is one of your best ones yet, because it's been able to spawn such a rich and lively discussion and draw so many people into participation. Chapeau!
right on!! i appreciate the issue you raise here, and i give you props for speaking up about how this makes you feel. people, no matter who or how we define ourselves, are not objects for other's consumption. we may, at times, want to be consumed (*tongue in cheek*), but it is problematic if that is the only thing people ever make us out to be (i.e., sexual objects)
You are so BAD ASS!! I'm new to the whole trans thing. I am so proud that you can be so raw and honest. I would totaly take you out. I am not a trany chaser. I'm a strait dude whos is learning about transgender cus my freind just came out an I dont want him to have to go down at this alone and feel pressured to be something he dosnt want to be. Im having a hard time trying to say what im thinking all I know is that I would be proud to be your friend just as im proud to be his.
100% honestly, I subscribed to your videos because they're honest, entertaining, and above all hilarious. The fact that you're transgendered has nothing to do with it. That's the same reason I have another trans girl on my subscription list; she fascinates me. And yet if someone stumbled upon my youtube page, I'd probably get labeled as a tranny chaser, which is so not the case.
I've come back to quantify my previous statement to you Erin. I was not trying to be mean or spiteful to you. Rather, I wanted to strongly express my point. To reiterate, those "mean" sentiments, those hurtful rhetoric "slangs" were examples of paradox and meant to serve you the empathy and compassion that we all have, or at least should have as human beings, and you Erin, as a TS, frankly, you should know better.
Should know better than to stand up for my right to be recognized and pursued for the GIRL that I am not the TS that I am? Must have missed that lesson when I was in Tranny School.
Well stated mate. Its tough being between genders and this will bring bad comments. You will make it babe. You are transgendered, not transvestite, make it clear to others when you first meet.
Hey wanted to say id aggree with u it almost scares me to thinking im gonna be going through the same ordeals of try to be me camy not me thomas hope this is a good enough response
But if it is only on the forehead how will people who see me from the back know? I think we need some kind of double sided sign that can sit atop the head... maybe with flashing lights and a giant arrow that kinda looks like a penis pointing down at me.
I think you are being rational, looking at all the angles. I fear that your need for validation as a female will cause you to have unrealistic expectations of the effect of the surgery in validating your femininity. You look like a pretty girl to me. It looks to me like a 50/50 shot at no serious surgical complications.I see myself in you. I want the best and am willing to do what it takes to at least attempt to achieve it.
This is true Erin, we are our own worst critics, lord knows iv kicked my own ass enough times[ha ha ha], and i ment no disrespect by my comments and i don't want your penis [ha ha], have a nice day
do you realize you just ended your blog with 45 seconds of dribble after 9 of you minuets of you talking about trannies chasers not a strong ending. This is not my comment this is something i wanted to say right now. I will be back in a day or two with my real comment and as far as not having a picture, im new to this
chasing of any type seems wrong to me, be it chubby chasing or in this case tranny chasing. that being said looking at my profile recently might suggest otherwise.
it seems like a mix of the one night stand culture & fetish to me, and like the one night stand culture its not a good way to develop a real relationship.
Do you like any of those, because I've got a shitload more of em....and guess what, lots of the world would have no problem dealing some of those terms your way.
The point I'm making Erin, is the same before mentioned terms I'm sure you loathe with a passion, and rightfully so, you just pushed onto someone else.
Maybe you should think about the idea's you subscribe to with greater empathy because as of now, your hypocrisy is beyond astounding babe.
I am sorry that you find my opinions offensive. If you have such strong opinions of this subject, which you obviously do, then maybe you should make a video about it explaining your views instead of just posting mean comments. That's great that you have a whole lot more nasty terms... use 'em, you sure wouldn't be the first... but even so i will stand by my opinions and feelings because when it comes down to it I want to be pursued as the GIRL I am, not because I have a penis.
Erin, Your broad stroked definition of a "TRANNY CHASER" is offensive. Just because a guy has an interest and likes transsexuals, that DOESN'T make him a "chaser". Your label, as you've defined it, is inflexible and condescending to say the least. How about if these same "chasers", as you call them, how about if they started labeling you as a "FREAK FAGGOT", "MAN", "SHEMALE", "HE-SHE QUEER", "TRANNY HOMO". (to be continued)
How refreshing. If I were trans, I wouldn't want to date someone who fetishized my trans identity instead of respecting me as a woman. And as cisgendered lesbian, I can sort of relate. I hate those obnoxious guys who fetishize lesbians because they want to have threesomes with us. Btw, you should read Julia Serano's book "Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity." She covers a lot of topics here, including the way trans women are objectified.
I agree. Honestly I think trannychasers are useful for a little something while we are still in the middle of transitioning.. love isn't always possible.. but i think it's a terrible idea to get involved with them seriously.
Hmm, I'd have to say I agree with you on this. I'm trans mtf myself,though I would rather be refered to as a woman, cause I am one, just on the inside now. I haven't transitioned yet, or started hormones yet. Mainly due to a family member of mine. But yeah, I've also started watching your blogs, and it's nice to see someone not afraid to be herself. Hopefully soon I can as well. Take care of yourself and keep on keepin on.
I know for various reasons (not just androgyny or impersonation) how it feels to be sought after for some skewed reason like that. I know you know this already, but always remember that the way they act toward you is nothing that's your fault; people are just jackasses. Especially these novelty-seeking, one-track-minded meatheads.
Best wishes. Also, I love the shade of pink in your hair.
I can tell you for a fact that I probably find it as obnoxious as you do. I'm a very androgynous person anyway, and I've had several "heterosexual" males tell me they find me attractive because I "look girly". Our club also has its share of "straight" boys, one of which got kind of touchy with me when I was in costume the other night. The guy hadn't paid me a bit of attention since I'd known him until then.
I'm beginning work as a female impersonator at a local night club. That fact gives us a few common ties, but obviously separates us from one another in terms of our reasons for altering our appearances. Many times, people are very inconsiderate about sexual oddities. Just because someone has incongruent anatomy (both breasts and a penis, for instance), some view these individuals as some kind of sexual novelty.
i don't know what i think about tranny chasers myself. i have a few female friends who only date ftm or at least extremely butch and masculine women. they say this is what they are attracted to and get extremely defensive when anyone asks them why they don't "just sleep with an actual man". so i'm very on the fence about this topic. i agree with you about almost everything you said but what about those people who are the honest ones? :)
There are exeptions to every rule. If I were to rule out anyone who is attracted to a transsexual then I wouldn't be dating Morgan. For me it is androgeny... god I love androgeny and endrogenous people in general... I just think it's hot. So you have to look at the reason behind the pursuing... is it a result of a fetish or of something else? The line is very grey.
I understand your points and everything but you're also assuming every guy/girl who seeks out TS's has a solely alterior motive. Some people simply have different preferences and would like to be in a relationship with a TS (sexual or otherwise).
Now...if you are speaking exclusively about those who only chase TS's for one-night stands and a notch on their belt then I agree with you 100%.
BTW, I'm a bisexual male (more straight than gay), in case you were wondering.
To me it really depends on the reason that someone seeks the relationship. Hell, if there weren't open minded people out there who were alright with dating girls like me I would be one lonely bitch. However, that doesn't mean that I want to be pursued by someone who is only pursuing me because I am TS.
Really it comes down to the reason that someone is pursueing me... if it is because they think girls with cocks are hot then I don't want to have anything to do with them, but if it is because they think I'm a cool girl or something like that then I'm fine. It's hard to explain but I tried.
To be perfectly honest, I don't that think we're necessarily on different sides of the issue. I was simply saying that it's normal to have a carnal attraction for somebody based on superficial reasons. It doesn't make you a jerk, it's make you human.
However, like I said before, there's a difference between those (myself included) who are sexually attracted to femininity (GG's and TS's) and want to pursue them and those who want to pursue TS's SIMPLY because they're curious about TS's. I have personal experiences to speak of since I've been in relationships with a few pre-op TS's. I'm currently dating one. It began as a carnal physical attraction for one another but it has grown into a much deeper relationship.
Some may call me a "tranny chaser" but the ones who I've been with would tell you that they chased me as much as I chased them. In fact, my current GF was the one initiated the relationship in the very beginning. We met at a club and she didn't even tell me that she was a TS until we went to her place. She was afraid that I was gonna beat her up if things went any further.
Sorry for the constant posting but there was another thing I was going to comment on...S.R.S.
My opinion is that it's a person-by-person decision. Some TS's can't stand having a penis while others actually prefer maintaining that part of them . My GF's POV is that she feels comfortable with a penis. She was born with naturally feminine features and mannerisms and she has never had the deep-down impulse to have the sex change.
(except for being ftm) I totally agree with you. My girlfriend- or this girl who likes me and I sort of like her or whatever- anyhoo, she likes me for who I am, and when I told her that I was trans, she didn't really care, we just went on with our normal life, like I want to be treated. She thinks of me as male, and it's cool
I know some transsexual people. The problem is that there should be some transsexuals talking about their situation but at the same time noone likes to be labelled as "that transsexual". And who can really blame them seeing what for example you have to go through for stepping up to the plate.
It's worth it. If every transsexual out there was to step up to the plate and show the world who they are and that they're just as normal and diverse as everyone else it would save a lot of people a lot of pain. Awareness is the way to create change.
Just because somebody on youtube has more than one subscription to trans people doesn't necessarily mean they're tranny chasers. Perhaps some are, but that's not always the case. Speaking as a multiple subscriber to trans people, I do so because I love women and appreciate the wide spectrum of femininity. For the record, if I was dating a trans girl who planned to be post-op, I would completely encourage it so she could realize her full self, and my love for her would not diminish any.

I thought you were attractive since I first saw you, but you are into girls, etc. I am totally into tranny rights, trust me...I used to dress up and everything as a young man. I dressed since I was a child until I was 22. I personally don't hit on any tgirl if they are not non-op.

Just be yourself but you will definitely have to find a hard shell. I like chicks with dicks and genetic females. Tranny chaser? Maybe. But also I am a Womanizer. But, for real, I am at a point in my life where I want to be with a woman forever, transgendered or genetic. I grew up watching porn and all of these penises were in my face while the guy would have sex with a girl, etc. Maybe you are right about me, but I have a friend on the net whom is absolutely gorgeous and she is a tranny...

For me, I realize that some men may be exclusively attracted to transwomen post or pre op. It becomes a problem when they don't care about romance or dating or getting to know you- it's all about trans being sex objects.

And someone who wants a penis? C'mon guys--just admit you're gay and get it over with. BUT, there's one slight attraction to girls who were trans: They're probably less likely to freak on that "Um, there's something I need to tell you" moment, early in the relationship (hopefully very early)... Is this T/Cing too?

if youve got any insight, please let me in on it because i am trying to understand this. Mainly because I discovered my last ex went behind my back with a transsexual woman. And that, as any kind of cheating, is hard on the self esteem and the soul.
AFdiamd20 3 years ago
I'm sorry to hear that, and I could see how it might shape some of your views. Unfortunately it is true that many men seek out the company of transwomen because they want to "experiment" with their sexuality but don't want to "be a faggot". I find that just as detestable as you do, though for different reasons. I don't know this person who cheated on you, but I'd be willing to bet that their cheating had less to do with you and had more to do with them questioning their own sexuality. ?

a perversion such as TRANNY CHASERS porn or the men who specifically seek them out for sex only. Now what of that? Thats almost like men who seek out animals for beastiality or young girls for pedophilia, etc etc. If you want to fall in love, fall in love. But what of the places that offer it as some sort of taboo? I am highly confused by the stigma surrounding that.
AFdiamd20 3 years ago
I think you hit on here exactly the reason I made this video. I deplore when men, or anyone really, go looking to date or have sex with transwomen for fetish or curiosity reasons. The whole point of this video i'd rather someone date me because they like me for who I am rather than what is or isn't between my legs.
grishno 3 years ago
Men want whats in between a woman's legs even if they aren't transgender. You made yourself attractive with your transformation. Your making more complicated than it is and (no offense) it has more to do with how you feel about yourself than someone into you. If guys didn't except and like you for yourself, it would be too difficult for a transgender person. It wouldn't be fair to surprise people. And as for as your sex organ, maybe guys just want to please you.

Ok. Well that "sort of" answers my question. And I, by no means meant to insult you. I've no right pointing fingers because I myself color outside the lines too.

I don't think that is just a trans thing... in my experience that is just a woman thing. I don't feel i can speak to this topic very well since I would never be the "other woman"...

I'll agree that there are people like that out there who are trans, but that is such a small percentage that I hardly think it would be fair to apply that standard to all, or even most, trans women.
grishno 3 years ago
The other thing here is that, and this was really the point of this specific video, is that I don't want some guy to be with me because he is "curious"... to me I'm just a girl, and I want to be treated like that in whatever relationship I choose to be in... I don't want to be with someone because they are "curious" or whatever. That being said, if I were to be dating a straight man I would consider him to be exactly that... straight. If he wanted to be buy then he should just date a guy.

@grishno You don't look a guy so unless a guy dates guys that look like guys then I don't think you shouldn't say bi. That just makes it hard to aproach and commit to transsexuals. I confess I'm emotional because I thought I was cool and then I find all these videos with MTF hurt and angry that men like them. I understand you want to be respected as a woman with a prejudice world. And you can't trust everyone. But you should just be careful but lighten up

When a man sneaks behind his g/f and or wife's back to be with a tranny girl, that is something that makes me a little uneasy. I understand sexual curiousity; but why is it that alot of tranny women have attitudes towards genetic girls? Or that somehow they think they're more woman than I am? That they can please my man better than I can? Etc etc.
Please help me to understand the difference. To me, you seem genuine. You want to fall in love. But there are those tranny girls who want to steal ...
AFdiamd20 3 years ago
Ok, so I have a question. And please do not take this as bashing you in any way. I do not have issues with transgendered people or gay people. I myself am bisexual. I am a genetic female for one; and am sort of threatened by tranny's for one reason. I'll put a scenario that I commonly see: tranny chasers. You addressed this here. Why is it that a man, who considers himself "straight" (and often married) will seek out a tranny girl to satisfy curiosity? To me, that makes him bisexual. Continued..

How would you respond to someone who was exclusively attracted to females and liked transwomen more than cisgendered women because transwomen concentrate more on the emotional bonding and on general body attraction and not so much on what is in your pants? Incidently, I am way too old to be chasing you; I am asking strictly to better understand your perspective.
Johnson210000 3 years ago
I would say that that is a over generalization. I know plenty of cisgender women who are way better at that than transwomen, and vice-versa. I mean, I know some guys who like transwomen because they can usually relate better on things like playing video games or reading comic books, and I'm fine with that... I guess my point is that you can't toss everyone who is trans or everyone who is cisgendered into a box and say "this one thing applies to all of you".
grishno 3 years ago
Thanks for your quick response. I certainly wouldn't expect all transwomen to be better (or worse) than all cisgenderedwomen, but I would expect the probability of certain attributes to be different. From your answer, it does not appear that someone pursueing a transwoman because of characteristic(s) unrelated to the presence of a penis fits your perception of a "trannychaser".
Johnson210000 3 years ago
I'm a non-trans lesbian who has dated one trans woman and slept with a handful more. I've been involved with more non-trans women than trans women. I'm dating a non-trans woman now, but if I were single, I'd totally date another trans woman if she was someone that I liked. I sometimes wonder if trans women would be wary about dating someone like me, who has a history of dating other trans women. Do I fall into the chaser category? You and Morgan are both cute, either way. :)
fembot1771 3 years ago
I don't think that makes you a chaser at all. Fact of the matter is that if it weren't for people who aren't concerned about dating transfolk then we'd have no one to date... and how fun is that. Just based on your comment it seems more like you're attracted to the person rather than the fact that they're trans... really this video is aimed at those people out there who would want to date me for the sole reason that I am trans... there is way more to me than being trans.

I don't understand why people have a dislike of tranvestites, if they want to become the opposte gender then nothing should stop them, personally i'm neither a tranny or a tranny chaser but nobody likes the body their born with, i don't like my legs or my nose, and maybe i'll get surgery in the future, or maybe not, but if anybody whats to change their anatomy then go them, for they are human.
Oresx 3 years ago
Appreciate the support but I would like to make one clarification. Transvestites are people who dress in the clothing opposite their gender for sexual pleasure. That's all fine and dandy if someone wants to do that, but I just don't want to be equated with that kind of thing.
I'd prefer "girl", but if it must be made clear that I wasn't born a girl then "transgirl" or "transsexual" will do nicely.
Thanks again.

You aren't wrong. The mental effects of HRT is the main reason I'm transitioning. My brain just loves estrogen. Testosterone made me crazy, irritable, and depressed. It (HRT) saved my life. As for SRS? I'd rather be penetrated than penetrate someone. It's just that simple.
Sadisticmuse 3 years ago
I consider those afflicted with so-called GID to have a physical birth-defect, not a mental disorder. Every person I know that has had SRS no longer has GID.
While there may be an element of sexual preference in attraction: same sex, opposite sex or transsexual, this can be taken to an extreme, becoming a fetish and someone is objectified and seen only for her genitals and gender presentation rather than who she is.
You are a lovely woman who is in the process of rectifying a birth defect!

It's probably too late to respond to this, but....You sound like your irritation with "tranny chasers" is making you discriminate. Not all poeple who like attractive/feminine transgenders/sexuals are creepy old men who only care about penis's on chicks. Some guys can be 20, love both bio and trans women, love penis or vagina, etc, and still love you for who you are as a person. A guy may chase girls with pretty faces, it doesn't make simply a pretty face chaser. He can still love the girl.
DarthYuYevon 3 years ago
Really what I was mad at was a conversation I had with a boy where he tried to convince me not to get SRS because I "Should be happy with the body I have". But if I lived my life with that attitude then I'd still be living as a guy so his whole argument didn't make any sense. The main thing though is that I hear so many men telling transgirls to not have SRS and that kind of thing just pissed me off so much... I could get into why it does but that would take way more that 500 characters.

In some cases, maybe they're not aware of it themselves that they are going after someone for all the wrong reasons.

as far as tranny chasers, I dont really know what to say. I guess I could be called a chubby chaser. I'm attracted to "bigger" men, but that's something physical. Tranny chasing seems more like an idea that gets them off. Whatever, to each his own, as long as we all get off, right?

I get it. Most transgendered people don't want to get into complicated issues with other people because they have enough of their own issues to deal with. And many deal with it by being deliberately offensive. You deal with it by turning on your camera and giving a reasoned explanation of who you are.

I have to ask, why gender reassignment surgery? I can understand hormone therapy but why remove your genitalia -- not to sound crass but wouldn't that effectively make you a eunuch, making you uninterested in sex? I think you're perfectly fine the way you are Erin. Just my 2 cents but I'm sure a lot of other hetero guys would agree with me.
justm30k 3 years ago
I think you should get a little bit more educated on the subject. SRS doesn't remove the genitals, it inverts them and creates fully functional vagina that is virtually indistinguishable from a genetic girls vagina. I could have sex and have orgasms all I wanted. Far from being a eunuch.
And how would you feel if you had a vagina on your body? I am sure that you wouldn't like it being there every time you looked at yourself and knew you weren't fully who you wanted to be. That's how I feel.

What about all the horror stories about post ops that lose their libido?
Maybe the guys that are attracted to you think you're unique physically and by nature you're exotic & attractive in that regard in addition to whatever else they find attractive about you. but you're misconstruing them as 'chasers'.
justm30k 3 years ago
I don't recall ever using the word chaser in this conversation? Though I do strongly disagree with your opinion.
I'll be frank, even if something went terribly wrong with my srs (which is extremely rare) and I was no longer able to have sex I would still rather that than having to look in the mirror every day and realize that I'm not the girl I want to be.
And if someone finds me unique and erotic because I'm not 100% the girl I want to be then fuck them; I don't need that holding me down.

Hi Erin I think that you are an amazing woman and (excuse the pun but)you have a lot of balls to confront this issue but you have in a very mature and eliquent manner. I take my hat of to you and hope that you find that extra special person who loves the true woman inside. A person is their mind not their body. Lots of love.

I agree with you 110%. I want somebody to love me for me, not for whatever bits of lack of them I have on my body.

You are brave and awesome! Great blog, finally someone stands up to tranny chasers! I think they are gross and porn freaks. They see trans women as things and not women. You're he/it/she instead of a plain she. I don't really get the chick with a dick fascination.

I suppose the way to put it is, I am attracted to women. Within that I am attracted to them as a person, not just because they have a vag, haha.
Someone could be attracted to transgender people, and within that they are attracted to them as a person, not just because of what is between their legs.
The side issue then becomes, how is that a 'sexual prefence'?
NewStarInTheSky 4 years ago
I think the crux of it is, if a person is indeed that way inclined, they would need to be respectful of the fact that the person they are seeking a relationship is indeed going to go through a full transition.
NewStarInTheSky 4 years ago
I have to say, this is a bit of a touchy issue.
Because, although this isn't 'proven' or anything, I've seen people talk about the fact that they are exclusively attracted to transgender people, in the same way a gay man is exclusively attracted to men.
Just as I wouldn't persecute a gay person, I wouldn't want to criticise someone else's 'sexual preference', which is where it become a funny issue.

I fully agree. If there weren't people out there who are attracted to girls like me I'd be one single chicka. I just want it to be for the right reasons.

It's one thing to tell someone to be happy with who they are if they want to dye their hair or something but... if it really effects how you feel about who you are it's not of his damn business!
You need to do what it takes to feel happy with you, girl! :)

PS: I haven't been able to define my sexual orientation any other way than translover.
One of my GF's wants SRS, and that for me, goes without saying. I told her it'd be silly not to get it. I want her to do whatever she needs to do to be happy in this life, and I did fall in love with her because we clicked so well, we have 95% of things in common.. all the rest of it and well, the penis is temporary but it all goes hand in hand.
We can't help how we feel.
LadyVIolence 4 years ago
I can agree with that kind of sentiment. But I think that the second you start telling someone not to pursue SRS (assuming that is their goal) then you've crossed the line. I think it is great that there are people out there who love us for the girls/boys that we are... if there weren't then I would be one single bitch.
grishno 4 years ago
I can understand that. I find it silly to tell a trans person not to take hormones or SRS, it all comes with it and like I said, my GF does whatever she needs to do. It doesn't bother me one single bit.
And for the record, she ended up chasing me! xD Because she fell in love with me and then a few weeks later I told her I loved her just as much and asked her out.
So it's a two-way street, but I do understand where you're coming from entirely. <3

I'm a 19 year old GG and I am a 'tranny chaser.' In my defense, I don't just like transwomen for their penis.
This for me is a sexual orientation. I didn't choose this.
Straight men like women, straight women like men, lesbian women like women and gay men like men, and bisexuals like both genders.
Well, tranny chasers love transsexual men or women.

right on!! i appreciate the issue you raise here, and i give you props for speaking up about how this makes you feel. people, no matter who or how we define ourselves, are not objects for other's consumption. we may, at times, want to be consumed (*tongue in cheek*), but it is problematic if that is the only thing people ever make us out to be (i.e., sexual objects)

You are so BAD ASS!! I'm new to the whole trans thing. I am so proud that you can be so raw and honest. I would totaly take you out. I am not a trany chaser. I'm a strait dude whos is learning about transgender cus my freind just came out an I dont want him to have to go down at this alone and feel pressured to be something he dosnt want to be. Im having a hard time trying to say what im thinking all I know is that I would be proud to be your friend just as im proud to be his.
fnhspiderboy 4 years ago 2
100% honestly, I subscribed to your videos because they're honest, entertaining, and above all hilarious. The fact that you're transgendered has nothing to do with it. That's the same reason I have another trans girl on my subscription list; she fascinates me. And yet if someone stumbled upon my youtube page, I'd probably get labeled as a tranny chaser, which is so not the case.

I've come back to quantify my previous statement to you Erin. I was not trying to be mean or spiteful to you. Rather, I wanted to strongly express my point. To reiterate, those "mean" sentiments, those hurtful rhetoric "slangs" were examples of paradox and meant to serve you the empathy and compassion that we all have, or at least should have as human beings, and you Erin, as a TS, frankly, you should know better.

But if it is only on the forehead how will people who see me from the back know? I think we need some kind of double sided sign that can sit atop the head... maybe with flashing lights and a giant arrow that kinda looks like a penis pointing down at me.

I think you are being rational, looking at all the angles. I fear that your need for validation as a female will cause you to have unrealistic expectations of the effect of the surgery in validating your femininity. You look like a pretty girl to me. It looks to me like a 50/50 shot at no serious surgical complications.I see myself in you. I want the best and am willing to do what it takes to at least attempt to achieve it.
Good luck and God bless.

chasing of any type seems wrong to me, be it chubby chasing or in this case tranny chasing. that being said looking at my profile recently might suggest otherwise.
it seems like a mix of the one night stand culture & fetish to me, and like the one night stand culture its not a good way to develop a real relationship.

The point I'm making Erin, is the same before mentioned terms I'm sure you loathe with a passion, and rightfully so, you just pushed onto someone else.
Maybe you should think about the idea's you subscribe to with greater empathy because as of now, your hypocrisy is beyond astounding babe.
ARMANIXXX007 4 years ago
I am sorry that you find my opinions offensive. If you have such strong opinions of this subject, which you obviously do, then maybe you should make a video about it explaining your views instead of just posting mean comments. That's great that you have a whole lot more nasty terms... use 'em, you sure wouldn't be the first... but even so i will stand by my opinions and feelings because when it comes down to it I want to be pursued as the GIRL I am, not because I have a penis.
grishno 4 years ago
Erin, Your broad stroked definition of a "TRANNY CHASER" is offensive. Just because a guy has an interest and likes transsexuals, that DOESN'T make him a "chaser". Your label, as you've defined it, is inflexible and condescending to say the least. How about if these same "chasers", as you call them, how about if they started labeling you as a "FREAK FAGGOT", "MAN", "SHEMALE", "HE-SHE QUEER", "TRANNY HOMO". (to be continued)
ARMANIXXX007 4 years ago 2
How refreshing. If I were trans, I wouldn't want to date someone who fetishized my trans identity instead of respecting me as a woman. And as cisgendered lesbian, I can sort of relate. I hate those obnoxious guys who fetishize lesbians because they want to have threesomes with us. Btw, you should read Julia Serano's book "Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity." She covers a lot of topics here, including the way trans women are objectified.

I agree. Honestly I think trannychasers are useful for a little something while we are still in the middle of transitioning.. love isn't always possible.. but i think it's a terrible idea to get involved with them seriously.

Hmm, I'd have to say I agree with you on this. I'm trans mtf myself,though I would rather be refered to as a woman, cause I am one, just on the inside now. I haven't transitioned yet, or started hormones yet. Mainly due to a family member of mine. But yeah, I've also started watching your blogs, and it's nice to see someone not afraid to be herself. Hopefully soon I can as well. Take care of yourself and keep on keepin on.

I know for various reasons (not just androgyny or impersonation) how it feels to be sought after for some skewed reason like that. I know you know this already, but always remember that the way they act toward you is nothing that's your fault; people are just jackasses. Especially these novelty-seeking, one-track-minded meatheads.
Best wishes. Also, I love the shade of pink in your hair.

I can tell you for a fact that I probably find it as obnoxious as you do. I'm a very androgynous person anyway, and I've had several "heterosexual" males tell me they find me attractive because I "look girly". Our club also has its share of "straight" boys, one of which got kind of touchy with me when I was in costume the other night. The guy hadn't paid me a bit of attention since I'd known him until then.
eisenei 4 years ago
I'm beginning work as a female impersonator at a local night club. That fact gives us a few common ties, but obviously separates us from one another in terms of our reasons for altering our appearances. Many times, people are very inconsiderate about sexual oddities. Just because someone has incongruent anatomy (both breasts and a penis, for instance), some view these individuals as some kind of sexual novelty.
eisenei 4 years ago
i don't know what i think about tranny chasers myself. i have a few female friends who only date ftm or at least extremely butch and masculine women. they say this is what they are attracted to and get extremely defensive when anyone asks them why they don't "just sleep with an actual man". so i'm very on the fence about this topic. i agree with you about almost everything you said but what about those people who are the honest ones? :)
summerfae 4 years ago
There are exeptions to every rule. If I were to rule out anyone who is attracted to a transsexual then I wouldn't be dating Morgan. For me it is androgeny... god I love androgeny and endrogenous people in general... I just think it's hot. So you have to look at the reason behind the pursuing... is it a result of a fetish or of something else? The line is very grey.
grishno 4 years ago
I understand your points and everything but you're also assuming every guy/girl who seeks out TS's has a solely alterior motive. Some people simply have different preferences and would like to be in a relationship with a TS (sexual or otherwise).
Now...if you are speaking exclusively about those who only chase TS's for one-night stands and a notch on their belt then I agree with you 100%.
BTW, I'm a bisexual male (more straight than gay), in case you were wondering.
DerekJeter 4 years ago 3
To me it really depends on the reason that someone seeks the relationship. Hell, if there weren't open minded people out there who were alright with dating girls like me I would be one lonely bitch. However, that doesn't mean that I want to be pursued by someone who is only pursuing me because I am TS.
grishno 4 years ago
Really it comes down to the reason that someone is pursueing me... if it is because they think girls with cocks are hot then I don't want to have anything to do with them, but if it is because they think I'm a cool girl or something like that then I'm fine. It's hard to explain but I tried.
grishno 4 years ago
To be perfectly honest, I don't that think we're necessarily on different sides of the issue. I was simply saying that it's normal to have a carnal attraction for somebody based on superficial reasons. It doesn't make you a jerk, it's make you human.
DerekJeter 4 years ago 3
However, like I said before, there's a difference between those (myself included) who are sexually attracted to femininity (GG's and TS's) and want to pursue them and those who want to pursue TS's SIMPLY because they're curious about TS's. I have personal experiences to speak of since I've been in relationships with a few pre-op TS's. I'm currently dating one. It began as a carnal physical attraction for one another but it has grown into a much deeper relationship.
DerekJeter 4 years ago 2
Some may call me a "tranny chaser" but the ones who I've been with would tell you that they chased me as much as I chased them. In fact, my current GF was the one initiated the relationship in the very beginning. We met at a club and she didn't even tell me that she was a TS until we went to her place. She was afraid that I was gonna beat her up if things went any further.
DerekJeter 4 years ago 3
Sorry for the constant posting but there was another thing I was going to comment on...S.R.S.
My opinion is that it's a person-by-person decision. Some TS's can't stand having a penis while others actually prefer maintaining that part of them . My GF's POV is that she feels comfortable with a penis. She was born with naturally feminine features and mannerisms and she has never had the deep-down impulse to have the sex change.
DerekJeter 4 years ago 3
(except for being ftm) I totally agree with you. My girlfriend- or this girl who likes me and I sort of like her or whatever- anyhoo, she likes me for who I am, and when I told her that I was trans, she didn't really care, we just went on with our normal life, like I want to be treated. She thinks of me as male, and it's cool

I know some transsexual people. The problem is that there should be some transsexuals talking about their situation but at the same time noone likes to be labelled as "that transsexual". And who can really blame them seeing what for example you have to go through for stepping up to the plate.
hertta 4 years ago
It's worth it. If every transsexual out there was to step up to the plate and show the world who they are and that they're just as normal and diverse as everyone else it would save a lot of people a lot of pain. Awareness is the way to create change.
