Why is it that brazilian girls all have balls?

[tsntx]

bc the brasillian ones are only "TS" for the money/escort/porn scene... when theyve had enough they go back to being men.

hear, hear, the expert on Brazil ts matters is giving a free lecture. based on exactly what? the (in)famous Lisa Lawer-case? or your personal experience, as a white, young, middle class TS born and raised in an OECD country, probably not speaking portugese, never been to brazil not knowing any brazil tgirl personally (note: these are all assumptions, correct me if i am wrong) - is this a fien example of western arrogance or just sloppiness?

the fact that youre a ts yourself isnt a free ticket for posting unbased rubbish

and you dont know more about the brazil or thai ts-scene than the everage guy whio comes here.

i happen to know 4 so you jerk offs can talk all the crap you want... i didnt say ALL... i didnt claim to be the know all and as usual peggy posted a relevant article that only further BACKED what i said up... so keep dreaming you jackasses that have met 1 ts if any at all know what the fuck your talking about... w/ the exception of dj... but that still doesnt mean just bc there is one well known case shes the only.

you can call me jackass and jerkoff ten times i stand by my words and its a fact. you dont know nothing about the brazil ts scene. the article, as i have read it, stated that many travestis or bonecas or whatever name is beeing used start at gay boys. i havent read much about the reverting process there.

i havent said i know anything about ts in brazil or anywhere else. you did and you assume that i did. WRONG. read what i wrote not what you like to read so you can get all aggressive again.

and i guess you assume that i care if they in fact went back beeing a guy? wrong again. i couldnt care less. its their life, they can have four tits, three balls and two pussies.

what i dont like is generalisation and that "oh we in the western world know so much cuz we have tv, the net and live in the information age" attitude.

anyways, this thread has probably taken the right direction via asking or requesting information form people ACTUALLY LIVING THERE.

like i said loser i know 4 "girls" personally that did it... so keep talkin your talk about how YOU dont know personally... and ill keep telling you i DO.. i didnt say ALL ... get a grip on something other then your cock and the mouse you keep clicking on idiot.

Interesting stuff, Peggy. I think I've seen the Guardian article before. But I think we need to make a distinction between what we define as transsexuals and the travesti. I would guess that a more correct translation of 'travesti' would be 'transvestite' or even 'crossdresser' as the travesti do not identify themselves as women and do not intend to go through transformation. Some may take hormones but I doubt many have any surgery.

I have heard the word 'boneca' (which means 'doll') being used for TSs in Brazil but don't know if this is the word most commonly used and how clearly the Brazilians define between TV and TS.

I would be keen to hear what more of our Brazilian friends and those who have experience of the industry in Brazil have to say about this.

I disagree with what you are saying. I think any TS who thinks she is a woman is dillussional. We're not women. We may identify as female, but I think, for the most part, we are aware that we never will be. Fake vagina, body chemistry, etc. From what I am reading, there is no difference between travesti and some of the girls who street walk on Santa Monica - or even through eros. Girls will live 20 years as a female with a penis and still not have plans for SRS. Does that make them a transvestite? No. I've asserted before, that it makes us something else. That is why I am fond of the "shemale" classification.

At least with a shemale you know what you are getting. It's a girl with a dick.

I mean Jen - when is your SRS scheduled? Jennifer - when is your SRS scheduled? TS are supposed to abhor their penises. However, like Travesti, more and more girls are living in the USA for many many years with boobs and penises. How are we all that different? Obviously there are cultural and social class things about them, but I am sure if any of us sat down with these girls that we would see an immediate and blatant difference. I know a famous USA TS pornstar from the 80's who went back to living as a man. We are no so very different here.

Seanchai - being as honest as possible, do you really see the Brazil girls so differently than the girls who goto Peanuts or any other TS for that matter.

I will have SRS someday, but not because I think I will magically become a woman, but because it will make my life a bit more normal and balanced in some respects.

Heh. Vicki Richter throws out the term "fake vagina", meanders around a bit, then posts that she's getting SRS anyways because that will make her feel more "normal".

But you "know what your getting" with a "shemale". . . I thought the whole point was it didn't matter if a girl had a dick or a vagina, but then it suddenly becomes important again, and then not.

It's the psychological equivalent of watching clothes spin in a dryer.

What happened? I thought Vicki Richter liked playing games.
