>No, but not many men have vaginas. It is, after all, a characteristic that one normally associates with women ;)
Actually I normally associate breasts, wide hips and smooth, delicate features with women since I rarely see their vaginas. The gonads are (perhaps paradoxically) fairly gender neutral to me when I explore the matter more deeply.
>......but a she-male is a man with breast implants and make-up etc. I would perceive a she-male as being a man, not as a woman.
Well the breast implants, make-up, hour-glass hips etc. would be signalling 'female' to the gender detector in my mind, despite the penis. I wonder who they are aimed at, it's not gay men is it? I think most of their admirers are men who 'identify themselves' as heterosexual. FredPotter et al, what is your position on 'shemales'?
I wonder what lesbians make of them? Are there any free thinking lesbians around here? Could you imagine yourself having sex with a 'shemale'? Do they attract you, do they repulse you?
>I know what you mean there. There's something about hetero men that is more attractive - nice hetero men that is. Gay men are usually unattractive to me.
Yup, and therein I think lies a lot of frustration and dissatisfaction for gay men.

Yes, I suppose so.......but two wrongs don't make a right. Please excuse the cliche.

I was just impressed that my opinion on this unusual subject might be of any interest to anyone.
Naturally (I guess) I think she-males are cool....but I kinda disagree with the implants.

I suppose what I'm saying is that it's almost like a force, a role, or a 'spirit' that dominant people tend to adopt, so until we all become well-behaved morally conscious beings there will be people behaving like that. The sex of the dominant person seems to make no difference, hence 'ladettes', although they may be considered even more vicious than their male counterparts by some.

Oh but they do hang down together like a pair of culottes, having the appearance of a single scrotum when standing up. They're just separated for illustration purposes.

But yes, I had a good response to it for two years where it at least kept me rock solid stable, if a little befuddled.

Okay, I've taken the hint from some here that my feminine side may be happier if I was living as a woman. It's an interesting idea so I thought I might put it to the test.

It feels wrong. I just posted to FredPotter as a woman, and felt like a stranger to myself. After only an hour I find myself reaching instinctively for my 'al' only for hand to snatch at empty space. It's strange and disturbing. I am definitely not transgendered.
I have made a request for the good doctor to reverse it. I'm going to bed now and hopefully when I wake this will all be over.

That would carry more weight if you weren't a regular contributor to this thread yourself.
It disappoints me when people try to discourage others from posting on topics they find unnerving with derisive name calling like this. One thing I've never done upon reading a post I consider truly sad, rambling or boring is to fire off an irate response pleading for the person to stop posting, not on a message board when I can click on the little x in the top right corner of the screen and move on to a thread I find more interesting.

It's also a statistical fact that most people are heterosexual, for what that's worth.
it is a statistical fact that most people "self define" as heterosexual.
we do not live in a society that encourages exploration of our sexuality. We are supposed to watch more TV and forget any meaningful longings.
