I knew from the day I was born that I was the wrong gender. I had dressed in clothing that was more feminine than masculine. As I got older I began to understand more fully my role in society. I am a woman who has a little extra to offer. I am more concerned with looking like a female and being accepted by my partner.
I feel that people should know what we are feeling. If they did it would make life a lot easier for me to handle. Underneath this air of confidence and poise is fear and sometimes depression. Why you ask? Well, every day that I go out to the clubs and these dance scenes, I have a chance of getting rejected, laughed at, and even abused.
This abuse may come in many different forms:
• Verbal (being called a freak)
• Emotional (being rejected)
• Physical (being pushed around)
What I am getting at is this, “when you meet a TS, think of her feelings too.” People have sensationalized the word “Shemale.” This term came out originally in the porn industry. They used this term to encompass a person with breasts and a dick. Most of the TS “girls” out there aren’t going to want to be called a shemale. They see it as offensive. Yet, I personally don’t mind being called a “shemale.”
This is one of the things that I have embraced about my nature. I understand men’s curiosity towards the word shemale, it has made for some very interesting conversations.
