I remember back in 2004, I was with a few friends of mine that are in a mexican band. I was their bodyguard when they performed in a club in Ensenada. There was a lot of people, a lot of dancing and such. Now when the performances were over, we all got together, had a few beers, we were dancing with our girlfriends that time. Now one of my friends name Walter got hit on a female, looked beautiful, attractive, soundly really feminine and such. That time Walter was drunk, so he ended up dancing with her.
All of a sudden as the minutes passed she took him to like an upstairs room for who knows what went up in there. Minutes later, Walter comes down screaming, "It's a man!" He felt really bad, started throwing up and such. Since we were buddies, sure we laughed it of, but I felt bad for the shemale, because you couldn't tell it was a man at all.
Of course one of Walter's brothers, who also is in the band, even though he has many lady friends admits he has nothing against shemales and also he finds them to be attractive, yet he lives a straight life.
For me, I'm straight, attracted to women, but I don't discriminate on those that have became a woman through the surgery, hormones and such. In most cases you can never tell, I mean I have to admit some of those transsexuals or ladyboys look very gorgeous and beautiful. Don't you agree? I mean it's their lifestyle, swagger and choice. Some turn out to be some gorgeous models on set, have happy lives and work just any person does in this world.
So what's your say on this topic?

Hello darkangel
I agree with you that when you look at them you cant really tell if she is a real woman or tranny , a lot of them are so sexy , and even they might turn you on more than what real woman does .. but some people still cant accept the idea that this was a man before or she is a shemale with a feminine look and a tinny pines ..
my self I don't discriminate , but I don't know what would I had done if I have been in your friend (Walter) shoes .
have a great time

discrimination is one of the primary sources of hatred and conflict in this world. i have nothing against transgenders, gays, lesbians, etc. i respect them and their preference. if we respect each other's beliefs, religion and opinions, i am sure there will be less conflicts and more love and peace in this world we live in.

No issues. I just feel sorry for the men who are attracted to them and then they find out. I think men should be given a fair warning. To me, if a man can dress as a woman and look good doing it, more power to him. Again, just give other men a heads up.

Yeah usually men who cross dress would be considered transvestites. But yeah I get awkward feelings on that and wouldn't want to encounter those...speaking of transvestites that is.

i think they are fine to me as long as they stay out of my way.
the transgenders just are not satified with their genders,and they will change their position in the society.but they also cause a lot of troubles and discriminations,so i think people who will changer their gender should have a deep thought of this thing.

Transsexuals are people as well. I don't see it being an issue to hang out with them. Some can be nice, some flirty, funny and crazy to hang out with. I see it as a choice though that they want to be that way. Anyways, thanks for replying.

Whoa! I didn't expect this topic from you. For me I wouldn't say I am attracted to shemales, but I do agree that it's their life. If they are happy with it, more power to them. I think I have spotted some of them around Downtown San Diego like 4th & B's, Club Deco's and other places. But yeah you're right no discrimination. Let them be.

Oh hey joker boy thanks for responding back. It's been months since I've been clubbing down at downtown, but yes you are right there are a few places where they do have transsexuals that party over there. Even along Hillcrest too. But yes as said I see no room for discrimination. Thanks for replying back.

I actually do have a friend that went through the process of being a woman. She got the implants, took hormone pills and develop every trait to become a woman. At first I thought it was very weird, but I learn to accept it. She's still a good friend of mine and like you said discrimination is just a terrible thing to have. Your friend Walter though shouldn't mind so much, but in his case of course he's not attracted to them.

Being a woman, and having to go through the only jobs available when I was young was nursing, teacher, or office work, and the men wanting to marry the nurses and the teachers because they knew that if the children were sick, or needed discipline when they were away at work, the wives could take care of things, but office workers well, I mean if you were at a typewriter all day, you were not the home loving type. With the disadvantages, I fail to see why some men would rather be women. And I would fail to see with the strength required, physical dangers, why some girls would want to be men. I do not think it is right for a man to pretend to be a woman. I suppose that shemale had a really good laugh at your friend's expense and was probably boasting about it to his friends.
I also suppose if a girl is heavy built or the guy is slight built, they might feel as if they were born in the wrong gender, so why has not anyone made them proud that they were born a woman or born a man and not call them names such as Tank top or sissy?

i too have nothing against, i even have friends who are like that. lesbians that really look like guys and i also have friends who really looks like a woman. the scarry part only is like what happen with walter. for you cant really say if she is a woman or if she/he is a man. specially if walter prefers to do it with a woman, that would really be his reaction. my transgender friends has a motto that they always say what they really are on the first part of conversation. so nothing will happen to them like what happen with walter. it would really be hurtful to see a person throwing up after kissing them.

In an intimate situation like Walters I can imagine it would be alittle disconcerting for him. I have had gay friends in the past and they are some of the nicest people I have ever been around. I have seen afew transvestites. It is hard not to stare. They are lovely and always just emaculate. This reminds me of the movie To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. For those of you that don't know it it is about some transgenders. Now the actors were all of them very masculine men and it always got to me how very well that passed this off. I thought they did a very good job of walking and all of it. I have also read about young children who are born with both genatelia. The parents make the decision for the child and alot of times later in life it is found that the decision was totally wrong. Very sad.

I am not against anyone who wants to be a transgenders, shemales and ladyboys. To me it is not really a big issue after all since it is their right to choose to be what and who they want to be.In my opinion some of them feel that their current appearance and gender is just not right for them at all. Of course when you are feeling uncomfortable in something you will automatically change it to make it as comfortable as you can.Some of them may feel that they are girls stucked in a guys body and need to escape it.Some would think that they are stressed being bullied by others for being a little bit soft and hence they opt to change themselves fully so that they can finally show that they are right.

I'm not all too hung up on gender, whether it's what a person was biologically born with or has been changed. I think it takes a lot of courage for folks to live as transgendered people in a world where they know there is still a lot of bias against them.

I think that they suffer a lot. Because they are not in the body they want, and they are not the gender that they like.
So I try to put me in their skin, and I like them, and fell sympathy for them
