ORIGINAL: ShamanatDawn So, I am brand new, and still seeking info and such, but I was curious about something. I see trans being a gender option, and I see trans people here and there on this site. My question is; How are trans people generally treated within this community? (being trans myself) I am curious if we are treated JUST as objects, or equally, and respected as such. I have been on many places online, all types of sites, and I tend to find the overwhelming "popular" feeling about trans people is one of revulsion, dismissal, or as a thing, curiosity, or object. Online it's pretty fetishized or unpleasant... very polar in my experiences, personally. But it also depends on the site. If you go to Fetlife and use the forums to talk just like normal the majority of folks will treat you like it's no big deal. It depends where you are online and how you approach letting folks know, like anywhere. But the majority of online vs real-life kink community and events, I've found real-life stuff to be much more welcoming to transgender or specifically transsexual people.
