ORIGINAL: INSIDEYOURMIND I will also say that I appreciate your use of the Trans-slave descriptor in your profile, I don't think its correct to list one as a female when in fact they are not. My first experience with a person on Collarme was with someone that waited until 3 months after we began talking, to mention that she had a penis. Again, this is just not my preference, but it was unfair, and dishonest. I respect your opinion, but I must ask... You ascribe to the notion that gender = genitals? It is very late but I'll attempt to elaborate. With regards to gender = genitals. I'm thinking that it is your belief that in addition to gender = genitals. You are pointing to the chromosomal make-up of someone as being the definition of gender. If you do a web search on transfolk and brain differences you will find a wealth of information that strongly suggests that transgendered individuals actually have structural differences that are similar to those of the "opposite" sex. Scientific studies and statistics rule out "chance" in explaining why transexuals brains are more physically similar to those of the gender that they identify with than the one associated with their genitals. Therefore, they are physically different to those of us lwho have a body that matches our gender identity. I believe that if this physical difference is the key to our gender 'identity', then transexuals are what they feel they are. If one says "she", doesn't that personal perception have any validity? CM.com allows one the opportunity of gender expression. I agree that your first experience was shameful if you were mislead by his/her profile selections. Deception is rampant online. How many people, I wonder, have been approached by someone claiming title or experience that they did not possess? How many false photos are posted in this medium? Did she indeed identify as transgender or transexual (pre, partial or post surgery), or did he merely cross dress? Apologies for the thread derailment. Trans-Leather? Delicious. Great thread slavegyrl! *edited for typos*
