This may seem like a stupid. But it is actually a really useful guide: http://www.adultwiki.org/wiki/How_to_Spot_a_Ladybo... It is good to know how to know who is a girl and who is a ladyboy especially in Asian countries, wether you are looking for them or avoiding for them. If you smoke, it may be very hard to tell the difference.
Ladyboys lol It has a nice ring to it...transgender is too political correct, and she-male is too a hair derogatory. Ladyboy is just right
You're telling me that person went from a woman to a woman with a dick? Well DAMN! I was thinking this was going to be about males who act more on the feminine side.
Im telling you, that no straight man would kick her out of bed. Jerry its ok its not gay, you know you would tap dat ass.
there's a difference between so many terms. Transgender or transsexual is different from drag queen and that's different than a cross dresser. Some people are agender, some people consider themselves both genders and can present as both. This fetishization with gender is weird. If you like people who present themselves as feminine, that's really okay. It doesn't make you gay and it's really not a big deal. You can't help what turns you on. Just remember that they are people aside from their genitals.
Oh here we go with the labels and definitions. The only difference is that drag queens normally dont look as good and are not as sexy as heshes.
All of the words used in the tags are used as objectifying labels in the porn industry and reduce the identity of trans women, as well as their worth, to that part some of us have between our legs; this novelty that a lot of us REALLY don't want, and that we usually don't want attention drawn to (a lot of trans women are murdered simply because their parts "don't match"). Trans women are just women. Regardless of anatomy. It's okay to have a sexual "type", but remember that there's a line between that and fetishization and objectification, and that you can have an appreciation for trans women without the slurs. Just remember that trans women are women, want to be called such; respect their identity and boundaries and view them as a person instead of a set of genitals. The "boy" part in ladyboy is, more often than not, a painful part of our pasts that we don't want attention drawn to. So instead of trap, tranny, tgirl, ladyboy, and the like; you just call them trans women? Anyways, that's just my 2 cents. It really is kind of flattering that some of you guys think trans women are so beautiful, but please take note of what I've said above, else that "flattering" could become "offensive" really quickly.
Listen love im not offensive at all or objectifying. I would say im bisexual according to many peoples tags but I see ladyboys as women and therefore im straight. Drag queens are offensive as they are deliberately mocking them. Tags can be offensive to anyone as are sweeping statements. Some "trans" people actually like their manhood and don't consider themselves women. Its offensive to say that they are to them. Its like calling me a woman because I like to cross dress. Im not trans or a woman I just like to wear a dress and make up. Big deal it doesnt make me gay either. People are people whats this obsession with sex and gender. Im attracted to feminity, if that has a penis somewhere then so be itm respect is key.
Most of those killed are or were involved in sex work, which is inherently a dangerous field no matter whether one was born female or male. Others (like the ones at the NSA site) were killed while committing a law violation. As to the 'just women' line...gotta disagree there. There are too many that are out there claiming that they are entitled to the same rights as females simply because they call themselves women, nevermind they have ZERO intention of every having any sort of surgery (or, like Steve Sandeen, believe that cutting their balls off makes them a woman because they conned some judge into signing their legal fiction). The reality is that there are PLENTY of 'transwomen' that have undergone various medical interventions but have no problems in society because they won't play into the victim narrative and don't want to be a martyr on social media (see the Petosky bullshit from a few days ago).
According to the 'umbrella' notion that started getting shoved down the collective throat of the gay and lesbian political side of the arena in the early 90's, you are, in fact, trans...when they insisted that 'transsexual' was derogatory and unacceptable, they created the umbrella that put drag, cross-dressing and everyone else under the 'transgender' label. It was also the period of time that I quit donating to most of the gay and lesbian organizations. Even most of the lesbian organizations at the national level have started putting more effort into protecting the rights of persons born male. It is quite frustrating to have lesbian advocacy turn away from actual lesbians...it's a large part of why this was the last year of MichFest.
