They do say if a Pigeon craps on your head it's supposed to be lucky .... wonder if it's the same if a person happens to have their arse hanging out of a window and lands it on someones head....Psykoma said:
Unless it's explosive diarrhea ... that won't be pretty.
Also, yay for random meaningless conversations.
I'd have to get bottles of whiskey in and have drinking games on who can get their bodily fluids the furthest.Psykoma said:To be fair if it were explosive diarrhea it could probably sail over the sidewalk and any pedestrians, instead landing on the road/cars (or a nearby building).
Some levity is always good
The pavement outside my house would smell a bit but the giggles would be worth it.
Now I feel bad for all the fun I wasted down the toilet.
And this conversation is just getting stranger. I'm sure this thread had a topic at one point.
I do apologise for whoevers thread it i've stolen. Just be glad B isn't here and we don't have talks about whippings on top of window loo's.
Aha, I see. And what about in the adult industry side of things? There seems to be a very large demand for, and I don't mean to be disrespectful by using a no-doubt childish term, chicks-with-dicks. I myself tend to watch a video of Vaniity or Bailey Jay on occasion. But does that sort of thing leak out into everyday life as well for transsexuals? Are there some who actually wish to keep their original genitalia intact for whatever reason?an annoyed writer said:
The adult industry has a rather interesting effect on us: some of our more appealing candidates go in because it's easy money and they get to fuck for money in relative safety. It puts out quite a bit of cash and makes transitioning much faster and easier, provided you've got the appeal to do so. There is a flip-side of that: job security in that field is a big one. To keep looking that great while still being able to fuck with the original genitalia, one has to very carefully maintain a strict balance of Estrogen injections: too much shuts it down, while too little makes the masculine features appear more prominently. For example, Bailey is often seen with bangs in her hair: the reason why is to hide a certain feature: a sharper brow ridge, an artifact left over from her previous life. Another side effect is that to keep doing that, they have to keep up the estrogen shots to higher pre-op levels, which often leads to faster aging. In short: the adult film industry has mixed effects on our demographic. My recommendation for transwomen is this: if you're pretty enough and don't mind others ogling you, go for it, but don't stick around for too long and get comfortable: your career in that field is likely going to be much shorter than you think.BathorysGraveland2 said:
As for that industry's effects on us who are not in the business, yeah, occasionally certain people want to have sex with us when we're pre-op because of that effect. Some oblige, others don't. It really depends on a case-by-case situation. Hell, to be honest I wouldn't mind a few rounds in bed with another like me, but that's just because of my rather flexible sexuality.
Finally, yes, there are plenty of us that keep the original tools, and for varying reasons. Some keep it because of their occupation, like Bailey, Vaniity, and many of their bedmates, while others keep the tools for reasons like sensitivity and the like, due to most of the practitioners using old techniques that might look okay but are numb as fuck (newer techniques are being applied to circumvent this problem, as well as others). Others still have their own reasons.
Ah, I see. It's a lot more complicated than I first thought it'd be. I must say, my sympathy for people who believe they are born in the wrong body has grown with this post. Seems like a complete nightmare trying to change over, and that isn't even touching on the bigotry/discrimination. I was looking on Wikipedia the other day, where some transsexuals were actually murdered simply for being that. It's a shame. I can only assume that the future for transsexuals is looking brighter though. Maybe the whole process will be much easier and smoother in a few decades or whatever.an annoyed writer said:
I have one.
I often wonder how different it is to feel like you were born into the wrong body ( so you would become trans), as compared to feeling like your body is never good enough (eating disorders, Body Dysmorphic Disorder etc).
Right now I think Body Dysmorphic Disorder can be caused by wanting to be trans, but not the other way around.
i have no idea what exactly I expect as an answer to this question, but it interests me.

I think this really has to do with anonymity, and not so much of "why is it so popular?". On the internet, you're whoever you want to be. Sure, Google or any other site can get info on you from your searches, but even so how far they're willing to go or able to go with that information is limited, so there's still a level of anonymity.ForgottenPr0digy said:
It's most likely popular because some people really are just attracted to "shemales" or "trannies" or whatever term you'd like to use. Just in public, not many will be outspoken about it.
It's kind of like the issue with homosexuality in America. Some studies have been done that make it appear as if only 2% of the United States is homosexual, but in actuality, that number is most likely far higher. Why though? Because many that are gay aren't willing to admit it, or they're in an area where they fear there will be some backlash for their sexuality.
The actual number is roughly 20%.Epic Bear Man said:
Fun.
I actually have a question, in my own thread, no less.
I'm honestly not that far into my transition. I have my first appointment with an endocrinologist in April, I am hoping to be able to get my perscription for hormones at that time, but I am worried about additional delays.
Would it be reasonable for me to expect to walk out of the office on that day with a perscription?
Pssshhht. You're ex-British Army. I'd be surprised if you could honestly say that there was never a time you wanked into a mate's beret while on duty.Rawne1980 said:
Oh, my mistake. I was remembering it off the top of my head. I guess I forgot the zero, or the "study" I read did. =PJayemsal said:
But my point still stands about the whole number being higher because there's most likely plenty of closeted homosexuals.
Edit: I also found this thread that may be useful to you. I'm not a transsexual/transgender so I have no experience on the issue, but this thread may: http://www.lauras-playground.com/mtf_hormones.htm
Hope it helps!
Twice truth be told..... Once to a friend after he took a shit in one of my boots and once to a fresh meat because I was drunk and it seemed like a good idea.RhombusHatesYou said:
Also pissed in a couple of cupboards after a night out.
And never trust a mate that says he's run you a bath on your birthday .... I didn't notice until I heard the giggling that I was sat in 8 parts water 2 parts piss.
Ahhh the joy of grown men doing juvenile pranks .... I actually miss that.
Well, Wikipedia can probably explain it better than me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wandering_SonVoEC said:
I've watched the first two episodes and liked them, so I'll probably watch the rest when I've got some more free time (there are only twelve episodes anyway).
Hiya!.
I got a thing that bugs me, and I´d like to figure it out
Now I´m in my own process. I dont know where it all might lead, so im taking it all in stride.
But what i´ve seen many Trans feel these feelings and "go all out on a rush". I see that as a problem.
I´ve seen that People are Different, mostly becuase their different people, Rather than what Gender they are.
Alot of times when i´ve read or heard a self-identefied transperson sspeak of Their Moment I have felt that their conclusion to Transition is kind of premature.
The most clear one I´ve got is:
"I dont like sports, I talk over the sports news on the sports channel and make my brothers made. Its just like my mother. Becuase Females have more grey matter and Make more connections We have to talk more, all the time. Thts why you hear us women talk alot all of the time"
To me that sounds Gender Ignorant, beccuase:
Many of my male friends Dont like sports, Talk incesantly, and talk oer the sports news.
In short: i see alot of people going of on a Tour around the world, without Thinking it thorugh and it scares me.
Sometimes I get scared that It All will just pass like a cloud and I will be standing there, having already chosen.
It scares me becuase I don´t know Where i can get Collected and Centered feedback, and went.
I´d like to know if you´ve seen seen this, and how you´ve responded.

It's nice to see this thread has stayed civil. I haven't been able to get on and answer questions as of late. But i hope to be back @ my pc tomorrow if anyone has any unanswered questions that i might be able to tackle.
Don't worry Rawne, i'll tackle you with or without question.

"Wandering Son", aka "Hourou Musako" was first a manga series, and probably the best and truest manga ever done on the transgendered. Certainly it's the best I've found, and I've looked through a lot in search of stuff suitable for for pre-teen transgendered kids. These stories are so well done that they are useful in the counseling of both kids and parents. While both manga and anime are suitable for children, don't assume that adults won't love them too, they are just excellent.
Since the anime series is subtitled, not dubbed, it's a bit tough for non-japanese kids to follow, but the translated books let the very young backup and re-read, study the pictures to better understand the characters and plot lines, and more easily ask questions about cultural references.
Please do buy the books if you can possibly afford them, http://www.amazon.com/Wandering-Son-Book-Shimura-Takako/dp/1606994166/ not just to support a wonderful author, but the book translations are much better than the quasi-pirated web scanlations. I think I watched the Anime on Crunchyroll, but it's probably on netflix, hula, and youtube as well.
Shimura Takako, the author, has done some other really interesting work, including some of the gentlest and most interesting illustrated pronography I've read. I'll not put links, but much of her work can be found by searching the many scanlation sites on the web.
