Want a Sexy Shemale? Advertisement!
It’s to my shock and disappointment that I saw an advertisement for a “Tranny dating site” leading with the slogan – “Want a SexyShe male?”
2 things I want to make clear –
1. I have no problems with Shemale’s
2. I have no problems with people that want to date Shemale’s
Here is my issue, I have been a member of this site for 8-9 years, and when I have been able to, I have contributed by becoming a fulltime member. I have seen many people come and go, and have heard constant battles of inside politics.
Throughout my time as a member of TW/TGS it has been made clear that this is a site for people to express their views and to be understood by people in similar situations and by those who are from the full spectrum of transgendered variants.
At no time has this site been advertised as a dating site, and in the recent years the staff here have told us at great length of the efforts to loose, the seedy tags that are associated with people who do not understand that just because some one expresses themselves in a less than obvious gender role that they are doing it for sex, sexual gratification or to make themselves more attractive to gay people who are in the closet. (no offence intended to anyone who is gay)
I have seen many of my friends leave this site because the word “gender” was in the title, which makes sense as many people who cross-dress for fun/hobby/relaxation or even kink factor are not at odds with their gender, and lets face it “the Gender Society” does have an official sounding name.
So why do the good people who administrate this site now feel that it is appropriate to sell advertising space to the people that draw all of the wrong conclusions to our outlook? And where will you stop at trying to making a fast buck?
Answers please, because I don’t think I can be a member of such a place.
