Nice way of avoiding the question.

By the way, you're confusing crossdressers with transsexuals, they two different types of people.

[Paul C. Jesup]

Also, I have read that most crossdressers are heterosexual, instead of what Hollywood would like you to believe.

Nothing shuts those people up faster than the truth.

What ever happened to being polite and using constructive criticism.

I tried that. I tried to tell him maybe his skirts were too short, and maybe he might try something a little less risque. His answer? The men like it, it reminds them of Britney Spears (which he performed as at a drag nightclub). He was forever going after rich, MARRIED men who would "take care of and spoil" him. I tried to tell him not to even consider married men but try and find someone SINGLE. He wouldn't have it, because in his words, "then they have nothing to lose if they don't like me". I didn't understand that argument, it sounded like extortion frankly, and I jokingly told him so. He said "You know it."

Christine Jorgensen and the man in Let Me Die A Woman are both "transexuals".

[Paul C. Jesup]

Your point being?

[weegee]

Listen to the line from the Homosexual/Bisexual Community and "transgendered" can be applied to anyone who just wants to live part of their life as a woman (A) in drag (for women, they bind their breasts down), original equipment intact, (B) in drag but with hormone treatments, (C) with hormone treatments and breast implants/removal of the breasts, (D) extensive modification of the genitals. Sexual preference is not brought up in referring to "transgendered".
