The biological and neurological discussions, while informative and useful for purposes of understanding how some people deal with gender identity issues, are actually not the point here at all. What is at the bottom of this is a sociological value placement on a specific gender to the point that the desire for a state other than what is "means" more. It's actually logically counter-supportive of transexuality as a physical state that deserves basic equal respect compared to any other state of gender. It's counter-supportive of individual equality, if the individual cannot accept that what they are involves what they started with, and where they've gone. The personal focus, effort, motivation, and will to effect actions in one's life that more attunes them to where they feel they should be (and this covers anything from learning a new language to going post-op) is something impressive in and of itself that it doesn't need to be muffled because the goal-gender has a greater value placed on it. On a personal level, psychologically speaking, certain states of perception and self-perception can indeed be argued to be "better" for the individual, even if that state of self-perception involves intentional partial denial. On a public level, however...things get much murkier because a person may need/want (latently) that element of plausible deniability and may be functioning under that mindset, but as a single individual that may be looking for a partner, one should not escape the responsibility of needing to be honest about this issue with potential partners any more than being honest about one's marital status because that issue will matter (in all likelihood) to the other person...whether we philosophically think it should or not.

quote: ORIGINAL: YourToDeny Really woman-ness is not some abstract thing to be put on like a hat. There is a clearly marked "Trans" category - if there's nothing wrong with being trans (and there isn't) why is there supposed to be something wrong with selecting it when it is in fact the case. Your arguments are still based on your perceived sense of social privilege through being a white cisgendered, cissexual male, and your right to assert that privilege over others who you perceive as marginalized and also your priority in being able to define femininity, society and gender. You have a right to your opinions of course, and also the right to assert your social privilege - freedom of speech. But the fact remains the same, that your reality and your truth is based on your perception. Perceived social privilege is just that, it is perceived individually. No matter how you try it cannot make your opinion fact, because the common truth is is that you are individual, just like everyone else. My perception is different as is my opinion. I refuse to be marginalized by other people and to have my life defined and determined by other people. I have the same right of expression of my own human individuality as you have, but what you may not realize is is that my identity isn't just self-identity, but is my identity as respected, accepted by other people around me in society. I am integrated into society not as a Trans, but as a woman. The Trans isn't my whole identity, but is a qualification of my female identity, based on fact. I am not a naturally born female, never will be, I have no desire to be. I am happy being me. Okay, so you don't agree and you wish to continue marginalizing me. Okay. I accept this, and I even applaud you for coming out with your opinions and support you. You see you don't define me, you don't influence my reality, and you do not influence my life or how other people perceive me. Therefore I do not feel threatened or insecure by you expressing your opinions. I know who I am, and the truth that is within me is much more important to me than the reality which surrounds me. Therefore I can accept and respect your individuality, even if you are unable to respect and accept mine. It doesn't change the fact that we are both individuals, and perceive everything around us differently.

quote: ORIGINAL: juliadryad It is really actually not a medical condition. I think this is a cisgender error. How is it not a medical condition? I'm still not quite clear on that. It's a physical problem, and it's correctable by hormones and surgery. That's not a negative judgment, or an emotional one, or a gendered one. How would you classify the condition of having the wrong primary sex characteristics if not as physical and medical?

In my local community ive Noticed A DISTINCT difference between the amount of male subs and Female Dominants where the Female dominants OUTNUMBER the male subs about 2 to 1. In fact I got home from an amazing event where every male sub except for two were active in a scene tonight and i would say close to 12 or more female dominants did not play at the event.... there were about 10 male subs total and about 20 or more female Dominants..... YOUR opinion that there female Dominants are SO RARE, is completely shattered in the case of the event i attended tonight...and have been attending for the past 6 months... IF you dont like something dont take your bullshit and try to shove it down other peoples throats... BLOCK DELETE MOVE ON... Or turn off your computer....

I haven't read all of the posts on this thread, but of those I have read, they have either been snarky or negative. I don't get it. Why do members of this site feel the need to respond in this fashion? I have seen these types of responses in various threads repeatedly. In this thread, the OP clearly stated his intent was not to offend and he mentioned TVs not TGs, yet so many of the respondents seem to feel he was bashing those who are trans-gendered. With reference to a comment from one other poster, the research regarding sexual orientation and gender identification has existed well before this century, so I respectfully disagree that research on gender identification is recent. http://www.sciencemag.org/content/175/4017/82.abstract http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.me.30.020179.002221 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1474277/

quote: ORIGINAL: YourToDeny TV's, post-ops, no offense! But do you have any idea how hard it is to find a female dominant even when all of the matches are women? Logic behind the complaint: 1. For every dominant woman there are about 25 submissive men 2a. Women unlike men have much less a need to advertise their single-ness 2b. What this means is that if we have non-women posting themselves as women, we get a disproportionate amount of men in the search - I have hidden at least a hundred men from the search (every time I see a wrongly classified page I hide it) and they are still overwhelming the submissive male's search for a dominant female. This hampers the effectiveness of the website. 2c. The reason TV's are drowning out the dominant females is that basic difference between a woman and a man - I am not telling you how to define yourself (and never will) and I say as respectfully as possible, TV's advertising as females are starting to outnumber the women on this site. The true dominant woman is a rare breed and she is rarely available. It is not fair to the submissive males to drown her out. The difference between a pseudo-female and a female is that pseudos still have that male desperation to be selected (something women don't have to worry about) so if you put your profile in that category you are putting a practical barrier between two groups of people who work hard to find each other to live the life they feel they need. 3. Moral grounds: it seems wrong for a TV to post as a dominant female and assume a position of power under false pretenses to try to manipulate submissive males who are looking for what they truly want. 4. There is a category for TV's and if submissive males are looking for them, they should know where to find them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Again I make this protest with the utmost respect for those involved in this practice, and I mean no offense, but in this lifestyle the right Woman and the right man have a hard enough time finding each other without all the biological females being drowned out unfairly and blocked by a group that should technically be in another category. YTD I dont know where to start with this. If TV`s are honest about the fact I cant see a problem with them advertising here. As for post OP`s......... WTF do you think they had the op for dude ? Think about it......Please.

quote: ORIGINAL: YourToDeny quote: ORIGINAL: LadyPact quote: It must have been traumatic for the OP to have met a Domme, established trust with her, and then had his hopes dashed when he found out she had undergone sexual reassignment surgery and didn't tell him about it. Unless it went unmentioned, I don't think that was the issue. The original was the complaint that TG Dominants were listing themselves as 'female'. I didn't see where the OP met anybody. Maybe I should check the profile for further information. I never met anybody. I do get some letters from TG's trying to mislead - anybody who thinks there aren't TG's out there who are willing to exploit submissives to coerce interaction is blind and senseless. Can they surgically attach 'saintliness', or are TG's as human as everybody else? I don't care about the letters I get but I do want to point out that there is a huge surge of TG's in the female dominant category. The OP was meant to point out not just those, but the TV's as well who are also posting themselves as female. The point is not to say I care how I identify themselves, but that its no more correct for them to choose how the community as a whole gets to identify women. The essential point condensed (again): As far as that goes, what makes you think you get to define femininity more than any of the other people? Don't discount the possibility that your definition is just as oppressive to those of the Double-X persuasion as the macho XY definition has been for centuries. Some highly political Dommes may be glad to put politics first but that doesn't mean they speak for all women. I am not here to debate your identity but to bring to the attention of the community the surge in misrepresentative - or at the least 'insufficiently specific' - profiles. They are drowning out the minority, that rarest of rarities, the dominant woman with the double-x chromes. In a way it is misogynistic to allow it to continue without in the very least being discouraged. The axe you're grinding caused me to infer (incorrectly) that you had experienced a "Crying Game" moment which gutted you. There is no influx of TGs coercing interaction. Even if there was truth to your claim, if you're spotting them from photos there's no harm. This whole thread looks more and more like an excuse to attack and demean TS/TG people. Seems like the OP has misidentified himself in his profile and is actually an emotional sadist.

You may be making erroneous assumptions given your statement:" They are drowning out the minority, that rarest of rarities, the dominant woman with the double-x chromes." Since online is seeming so difficult for you and you live in a major metropolitan area, why not focus on that, and go out and meet people in your local groups?. http://www.darkheart.com/usalist.html#Massachusetts There are very few places on that list, if any that are much more than 2 1/2 hours from you...and many are very near by.

The OP seems to believe that a person has a greater entitlement to be called female because she was 'born to it'. Sirsholly is implying that the struggle to achieve female-ness itself confers a level of entitlement.
