Men and Women Can't Be "Just Friends"

[Tino]

I used to work at a high end shoe store in DC's DuPont area (think little San Francisco of DC), and I was the designated trans salesperson. Seriously, I'd be eating or on break and one of the guys would come in the back and tell me that there was a transexual looking for women's shoes and ask me to go help them.

Ever sneak a peek when you were down at knee level slipping their shoes on?

You'd think there would be a alot of common ground between straight men and MtoF trans. Both are enamored with the female body, at the very least...lol.

Perhaps this is TMI but since you asked, IMO, strap-on porn is hot, MtoF tranny porn is not. Don't know why. Now if by common ground you mean a lot of topics of mutual interest, I've only had a lengthy conversation with one MtoF transexual (that I know of), a senior government official, and I didn't notice anything unusual with regard to common ground.

Maybe my gay shows too strongly. But then I have few strictly straight women as friends: what could it mean?!

It means you're the man in those relationships.

I wonder what would be the metrics of this if we threw at least one gay party into the mix; I am on close terms with one of my former female teachers, and she's a lesbian.

I think it's more of the same. You're sexually attracted to her, correct?
