On the men who fancy us

http://transpinayrising.blogspot.com/2010/07/on-men-who-fancy-us.html

I've been meaning to write this article for a long time. The first itch to pen this came in 2002. I was in Sydney to participate in the Global Human Rights Conference organized by Amnesty International-Australia for the Sydney Gay Games. Together with the guy I was dating at that time, I was interviewed for a documentary by one of the media covering the Sydney Gay Games. We were interviewed separately. After the interview, my date and I found out that we were asked a common question, which was about his attraction to transsexual women. He was asked to explain what made him attracted to transsexual women and whether he was gay, while I was asked a more prying one: "Is the attraction of men towards transsexual women just an effect of the influx of '->-bleeped-<- porns'? Is this attraction just an expression of hypersexuality?"

Keep in mind some of those ->-bleeped-<-s are actually deeply closeted transwomen themselves.
I seem to be of two minds on the subject.
One one hand my inner pervert is pleased and would like the sexual attention.
On the other I am put off by someone getting off on that which causes me distress.
