Transexuals graft against the odds

I've been thinking about transsexuals lately. Not because I would actually want to have my genitals hacked off in some clinic in Morocco, you understand, but I have to admit it would be really cool to have access to a completely new pool of guys. I'm tired of trying to truffle-hog out the decent gays from the measly 10 per cent of the male humanity I have to work with. Transsexuals, it seems to me, have bravely refused to take these odds lying down.

Of course, I would make a really horrible woman. Even the most skilled surgeon would only be able to carve a 6-foot, size-10-shoe ->-bleeped-<- monstrosity out of my current form. I would be about as "passable" as David Walliams in Little Britain.

My brain hurts from reading that 'article'. The author is an ->-bleeped-<-!

What irks me is that he is gay, yet he wrote such a misogynist, trans-phobic, idiotic, piece of drivel! I mean, does he seriously think that dating is EASIER or that we have better 'odds' as trans women? This pissed me off in SO many ways! Amazing that many gay men are still like this.

As a TS it's so nice to know that we are lumped in with such a wonderful group known as GLBT.  It's no wonder I hate the association.

Don't sell yourself short, you make a pretty horrible man, too.

It is quite obvious that he has no clue at all.  And if he is that shabby in his appearance, it is no wonder he can find a decent guy.

I threw up a little in my mouth while reading that.

As I said a few months past, "I would be happy to stand shoulder
to shoulder with my GLB "brothers and sisters" if I were not so afraid
of the rank behind me stabbing me between the shoulder blades."

Laffs! I totally agree!

Just because someone is in a minority, doesn't mean they are any less bitter about life than the average human being.

edit: after reading it, it really isn't transphobic at all.  It's just purely misogynist.  I bet if he met an FTM he'd be all over him until they got in bed.
