Ask a transsexual anything

[Aractus]

Incorrect: it is from my POV as a woman that I am a woman

You do know that I was once your age, don't you? I've changed a lot and grown up a lot since 10 years ago, just saying ....

A biologist would have no idea what gender is since it isn't his subject, a sociologist on the other hand would have every understanding what our current gendering has to do with masculinity and femininity.

That's all I'm saying on that point.

I'm guessing this is a television show? You're basing your understanding of transgendered people off a television show?



Please tell me I'm wrong, because I'm not interested enough in googling it.

I'm explaining how the show portrayed transsexuals. The show didn't reveal that Miriam was a pornographic actor either. Like I said, so much for honesty - in the show. Why would anyone in their right mind want to represent and portray others like them in such a clearly revolting way?

You *think* they found her through pornographic activity? You don't have evidence of this?

Wonderful

Considering that the pornographic film came *4-5 years after the show*... do you have something say, less recent?

She was in porn before and after "Something About Miriam", obviously. And yes, that's exactly how I think they found her, otherwise how else did they so easily find someone who was ruthless enough, selfish enough, heatless enough to do what "she" did in the show????

Prostitution is undercurrent in the community, but generally prostitutes are better treated within the community than in say, your common church.

I don't see P being added on, if anything... I see T dropping off. Prostitution is work, none of the rest is at all related to it (sexuality and gender identity)... might as well add fishermen to the group

Interesting answer, Violet. Prostitutes feel discriminated against.... but then, hey that's their problem if you ask me. The VAST MAJORITY of prostitutes, at least in Australia, are regular injecting drug users. That's not a stereotype, it's true. A couple of years back a 17 year old woman was found DOA in a Canberra brothel, and yes she OD'd on narcotics. I'm 29, and I don't understand why any adult older than say 22 would want to have sex with a 17 year old, can you imagine you call the brothel and order a prostitute, and they send you a 17 year old? That's what happens when no one gives a shit about the health, safety and regulation of prostitution. So in a way, there is BS that certainly should be cleaned up, as for "prostitutes right's", as far as I'm concerned, they don't deserve to have any. But I do see them joining in with the GLBT-P movement in the future. Anyway, carry on.
