Initially, I was excited and happy to learn there were lots of people who found t-girls and transmen to be hot as hell. Why the sizable t-girl porn market didn't inspire me to put 2 and 2 together earlier, I'm not sure. I jumped into communications with t-girl admirers (or "->-bleeped-<-s" as they're colloquially known). I thought I'd be talking to people who liked me for me, but after a chunk of conversations I discovered that was not the case.
That was an interesting read, and it brings an issue to light that I never, or at least rarely think about.
I have been on two different sites where there are admirers and ->-bleeped-<-s. And you really quick get the impression that they are there for one things. Where as the women who are there are looking for love.
Which is sad. As Transwomen, we fear dating in the Cis world because we fear being attacked or worst. But if we enter this other world we become sex objects. Of course, women have been complaining of that for generations.
This is one thing that really bugs me about being in limbo. On one hand I want some kind of intimacy with a guy but damned sure don't want anyone touching the current privates I have. I did get lucky and meet one guy who is bisexual and is attracted to me as the woman I am and not interested with what is between my legs.
