Tranny

[MikeyGMin]

Yes, I wish he's reveal who he is, but I'm happy with the fantasy for now. I'm a sucker

for a little mystery and bit of intrigue.

 

There is an art to the tease though. I think he should start revealing just parts of himself in his avatar. Start with a shoulder and arm...work up to a torso shot...really get the buzz and drool going.

I'm wondering the same thing, I've asked him before where I can see his ad and he never responded. I have a feeling that he doesn't have one. Everyone is more than welcome here, but I somehow doubt his legitimacy as an escort. How about it @Jock123?

Real or not (I think he is) Jock123 has explained his need and preference for discretion in general and anonymity on these boards.

I agree with you 100%, FTM_Twink. However, read some of the replies to the posts on sexual abuse and rape and you will see arguments that are similar in spirit, albeit not quite as blatant as the example you provided.

 

"Political Correctness" is a term that has become co-opted and applied to any attempt at correcting speech that is demeaning or bigoted. The term was originally applied to the practice of referring to short people as being "vertically challenged," tall people as "vertically enhanced," disabled people as "differently abled," and so forth, not the elimination of bigotry. I grew up during the time where people were transitioning away from using terms like "kike," "polock," "wetback," and "fudge packer," not to mention the "n- word." My parents didn't talk like that and they certainly would not tolerate that speech from my brother and me. Likewise, I NEVER heard my parents use terms like "tranny" or "fag." If my late mother were reading this thread, she would chalk that kind of talk up to bad home training.

 

I wonder what some of these people's mothers would think of them right now.

 

Speaking of PC. Wasn't there a thread about calling a Thief a Thief.. or calling a Thief " Long term borrowing without permission with acceptable reasoning due to socio economic class" etc etc etc?

Actually if I remember my history correctly the term originally had to do with communism and socialism. The terms origins go back to when the socialists would use phrases or make statements that the ruling communist party found offensive as they were against the ruling party's views and they would censor the statements or release the party's position or statement and that became known as the politically correct version. In the 70's and early 80's it was adopted as satire and then later in the 80's it became what you mentioned above.

 

And your mom is just like my mom. She would be shocked that the word was used and would have said they just didn't know better. I am a little more cynical than that.

Guys....

 

First off like I mentioned I wasnt Trying to be Offensive...Simply by saying "A guy In A Dress" I was TOTALLY wrong for this and do Apologize. The only reason I put it this way Is because my FRIEND(Whom Identifies as Transgender) calls herself this all the Time...Even though shes compltely Trasitioned(And says it Jokingly)

 

 

Was I Ignorant..YES...Hateful...I dont have an Ounce of Hate In my Body. Sorry again and thank You to all who put me In my Place...Sometimes all You need is a little Tough Love:)

 

Congratulations to you for taking the responses like a grown up and learning from this experience. I have had similar conversations as your "guy in a dress" example with many of my transgender/transsexual friends. They joke that we can scream tranny from the rooftops, put it on t-shirts, bumper stickers and welcome mats because it's an idea that we live with every day. I've had partners who called me "their tranny" and that was "okay" because they were living through transition with me, but when someone says it out of context like you did, it can be very harmful. Again though, I applaud you for taking this as an opportunity to learn.

That isn't "politically correct." That's just plain stupid.
