I would like first to thank you for this site. I find it informative and enjoyable. Second I would like to respond to the writer of the article "I thought she was a woman: My real-life Crying Game":

I am TransGendered. I have started on my hormone therapy a while back so I do have experience in this. I am sorry those girls did that to you. I would like you to know that "we" as a group do not tend to act that way. Most of us believe strongly in honesty. After trying to live your life as a lie for 20 to 40 years honesty becomes paramount! So for them I would like to apologize.

I appreciate your views Alice. It was very respectful and for that I thank you. It is not often we get that.

Kimberly

Hey Alice,

This is in regards to your response to I thought she was a woman: My real-life crying game. The writer refers to the woman he was involved with as a transvestite. By definition, transvestites are men (or women) who enjoy wearing some article(s) of women's (or men's) clothing as it is sexually arousing. These individuals identify as their anatomical sex.

In contrast, this woman appeared to be a transsexual who had been on hormone therapy for some time, identifies as a woman, and had not yet had surgery. There is a big difference between the two and I thought it was important to make that distinction.

Alice,

In response to I thought she was a woman: My real-life crying game:

Might there be some deeper reason that you end up going home with transgender people again and again? Maybe your subconscious is telling you something by steering you towards this type of person. Are you honestly oblivious of your dates' orientations and plumbing, or do you just not want to admit to yourself that you actually know what you're getting into? I don't mean to question your manhood or your orientation: all I'm saying is that it might be helpful to ask yourself exactly how much control you've had over your transgender experiences.

Dear Alice,

I would like to back up Kimberly here. I have a transgendered friend. He used to be my boyfriend years and years ago and now he's my best friend, but I'd like to say that what Kimberly says is absolutely the truth. My transgendered girlfriend is so ALL about honesty in absolutely every encounter she has! She has even had relationships with men who never dreamed they'd be "with a man" but see, what happens is that they love her for who she IS, not for what her sex organs look like. Thank you Kimberly for sharing with us.
