Let me first start by shedding some light on MY background as to lay a foundation for any future replies.

I have been a transgendered woman for over 11 years (No microwave tranny here... strictly slow roasted and well preserved LOL). Have a BFA and am currently working on my first Masters degree. I have held positions as a make-up artist, make-up artist trainer, model (been a lead in 3 music videos, featured on the cover of 4 national magazines, 1 commercial, and numerous fashion shows, and currently STILL represent 2 national clothing lines as their ad campaign model). I have spoken on transgendered issues at Howard University for a friend (a transgendered nurse working on her Masters degree), as well as counseled and mentored the new generation of transwomen at GMHC (a gay, lesbian & transgendered high school in NYC). PLEASE RESPECT MY AUTHORITY...LOL

It's quite unfortunate that so many of you tranny fans that claim to have so much love for us show such little respect for your fetish. It's sad that your knowledge of trannys doesn't extend past EROS.COM. Albeit, a great deal of transwomen ARE in the adult entertainment industry. We ALL aren't.... The next time you're browsing your normal sites checking out what girl has new pics or seeing who's coming into your town for the weekend try looking on the FEMALE side. They have far more advertisements that transexuals, yet I don't see you all referring to ALL women as "sex workers" and "money grubbers"

I, myself got into the adult entertainment industry 2 years ago primarily because of the lack of respect from men I've encountered in the dating pool. YOUR sexually charged, ignorant views are what cause so many transwomen to resent men and join the ranks of the escort community in the first place. If I, an educated tranny can't find someone accepting of my lifestyle without harboring some sexually deviant behavior (ex. dating me, while secretly hitting on my friends, dating one TS yet paying for escort services from others, only coming around when YOU want something from US ect.) what hope is there for the rest of us? A relationship is NOT based on YOUR convenience. Subsequently, after I adopted the "If you can't beat them, join them attitude" I noticed leagues of other trannys with new escort advertisements. This told me that I was NOT the only one dealing with these issues with men. Guess great minds think alike. After all, if all we are only be viewed as "Sex objects" for which you fulfill your fetishes with, why not be compensated for our time? It's my personal belief that with anything in life it's not what you do, but how you do it.

I can't say I'm really surprised by how most of you think of us... Just shocked that you never took the time to do YOUR RESEARCH on the subject. Perhaps that has to do with the fact that your ONLY dealings with transwomen have been through escorting web sites and porn. There are thousands of transwomen in the workforce. I'm quite sure you'd call me a fool to say "All Jewish men must be cheap bankers" or "All black men must be drug dealers on welfare". Yet, for some reason you all only see us through the small remote dealings you've had. Your views show more about your INTENTIONS than your ignorance. (Perhaps you'd display a more well rounded view of us if you actually stopped looking at escort sites online and stepped from behind your computers and into the "REAL" world. The last time I checked there was no "Tranny world", just the one we ALL are blessed to life in).

What trannys have you people been dealing with that have caused so many of you to project these unrealistic views of what a "tranny wants"? I personally don't care whether a man has had little or no experience with other girls. What it boils down to is how he treats ME. Also, being that I am now in the adult entertainment industry I would NOT consider the idea of a relationship a good idea for myself. Why on earth would any one of YOU even want to date an escort in the first place? Talk about a dumb move..... You'd set yourself up by trying to be exclusive with someone that's clearly not going to reciprocate? I don't think anyone's that foolish... More than likely you're looking for a FREE fling with the tranny of your choice and if it means you gotta spend some quality time, then so be it. Most women and trannys alike expect men to take care of certain financial needs if they are being accommodating as well. By no means does this make them "gold diggers". I, personally am accustomed to receiving gifts and shopping sprees to Louis Vuitton, Bergdorf Goodman, and other retailers from my clients/friends. So why shouldn't I expect the same from someone I'm DATING? Don't get me wrong, I don't suggest for someone to constantly stay in boutiques and such or max out his credit cards to shower me with gifts. But, that let's ME know that I'm more than just a sex object when you LISTEN to the things I say I want and take the initiative to get them for me. I make more than enough money to buy ANYTHING I want for myself, but the act of someone else putting MY wants ABOVE his own makes me feel confident in our bond. I have taken a few guys I was dating on a shopping sprees as well and spent thousands and that made ME feel closer to them and more secure in the relationship we had with one another. Relationships are about expressing your feelings for one another and different people show their emotions in various ways. But, to label trannys as "Out for $$$" is downright foolish. The ONLY reason a tranny would be seeking money from you is because you are CLIENT. Most trannys I associate with in the escorting industry make well over $200,000 a year. In terms of DATING and RELATIONSHIPS we don't want your money, we want your respect.

Since most of you think to know so much about trannys and claim to actually be looking for someone of substance please take the time to volunteer at your local GLBT Non profit organization. Hell, google Dateline's 2 part documentary on transgendered women or even Oprah's transgender episode before you click that "reply" button. I am very interested in having in this discussion, but have no time for ignorance and refuse to speak with anyone that has not taken the time to educate themselves on the topic they claim to love so much.

I think I speak for all of us here on this one: What mags have you appeared in? (I want to grab a copy, Online Back Issues baby!)

What clothing lines do you model for? I'm not into the fashion industry so I'm clueless and don't keep up with the various campaigns. Glad to hear you making out like a fat cat. Surprised that you even bother to escort giving the immense popularity you seem to have. Sounds like you better watch out for TMZ though.

Which 3 music videos did you appear as lead model in? I don't watch music videos and despise Hip-Hop, but my fingers are ready to google them as soon as I get a response.

I had no idea you were in the Adult Entertainment Industry!! As a matter of fact I recall you saying you wouldn't get into the industry (not in those words) when I called you up a few months back. Regardless, what I'm interested in knowning is the work that you did. Was it a DVD? Did you do a shoot for a website? I'm sure all the members here want to go out and buy it to see you in a more intimate and sexual environ.

I personally think that it's great that you are able to successfully juggle working in the Adult Industry, Mainstream modeling, Escorting, and whatever career you have from you BFA. I know that it can be done, there's many GG's that do so with no problems, but that is also one of the most given reasons why a 'ts' wont do a nude photoshoot, claiming "that if they pose nude they won't be able to get into mainstream modeling". 'Get into' also inferring that they haven't even 'made it' yet which is mind boogling.
