Sex change operation... why?

[tghtpussybitch]

sorry for the misspelling getting tired and long message..

[Steffani]

Well...why I did it,

It's funner to get fucked by my boyfriend while laying on my back.
It's funner to get fucked period while laying on my back cause I'm a slut lol.
I hated tucking.
I made enough money from all the tricks sucking my cock to pay for it.
I was already sitting down when I pee anyways.

Basically I could go into all the philsophical reasons for why I did it and other associated stuff and responses to certain guys in here, etc. but "tghtpussybitch" has pretty much said it better than I coulda already so I'll defer to her previous posts.

I will just say I did it entirely for me, to feel more normal. whateva normal is.
I do miss more of the ...how should I say this...scandal...and more of a connection with other trannys who seemed to know how to have a whole lot more fun out of life than these >>normal, straight people<< who I have been around now for the last few years.
But I have neva missed my cock....

All for it.... but you couldn't get fucked while laying on your back before?

LOL,

Actually yeah, hanging half off a bed. And anything is possible depending on how much of a contortionist too. In the ass it is always messy for me that way though, but whateva...

My point, other than humor, I tend to like sex now more as opposed to before, regardless. Although before was.... anyway.

I look at it like this, for me anyway, I feel more comfortable now in my body, more confident in my relationships and I don't have this constant feeling that I am out of place.

I'd like to say I used escorting as a means to and end, surgeries, cars, clothes and then SRS. But maybe it isn't entirely that since I still put up ads now and then. I like the cash, the power, the rush. I've seen a lot of guys. A few I still see and a few I remember. But most of em were outta my mind about two minutes after they left my door.

But hey thanks to all of em, they paid for my pussy LOL, whether they'd like it or not, oh well.

What I don't like are the same things I didn't like before my surgeries, and on this subject line it is these guys who see trannies and think they have some pre disposed knowledge about something that is personal and really has nothing at all to do with them. And then when all these girls in here who are living the life, walking the walk, try and tell these guys what time it is the guys have the audacity to argue their misguided positions.

People always try and come up with reasons; reasons for why people are T, why they get surgeries, why this and that. I say "SO WHAT!" At this stage of the game for me it becomes what is important to make my life livable and productive while still caring about other people too. Not to live some way that makes me miserable just to make some people feel more comfortable with me because they cannot handle the facts.

....
Ideally I want them to love the totality of me (my spirit, my intelligence,
my sense of humor, etc.)

But if I can't get that, at least if they floss my navel, or eat my pussy like
it was the last meal on Earth, well then fair exchange ain't no robbery. :P

That depends on the kind of pussy you have. A wise man once told me; "There are two kinds of pussy, regular pussy, and good ole eatin' pussy."

As a trans woman, I feel that my genitals don't make me or break me. I am a woman on the inside and I am happy with that. Being female means to ME thats you can bear children. I can never to that, no surgery in the world could make that happen, so I am comfortable with the genitals that I have. It has also been my observation that ts with vagina's are no beeter of in life than a ts with her penis. To hardcore closed minded people, we are men, always will be no matter what. And puzzling to me is older ts with no cosmetic work done run and get a vaginal, and look like horrid crossdressers and always have to flaunt that they have a vaginal. Id rather be a pretty self confident trans woman, than a crossdresser with a gash between my legs. No girls on here I'm just saying what I obverved in my life. Now in the case odf my sister Danielle Fox she is a beautiful woman and I think before her surgery she was so unclockable to me, and I see how she got her surgery, and I love her for it. But on the flip side, I have met some scary stuff. Thats just my point of view

Thanks Nessa XOXO

I would like to add that I do feel female. I don't ever get questioned, even by those who do know I am a trans woman. Being a woman to me is not having a vagina or being able to have kids. It is more then that and then multiply it by a trillion. After my surgery it doesn't even cross my mind that I have to prove my self or feel as I should. My daily life is just "living". I feel free, happy, content, confident, fulfilled... The surgery does not make me any better then let's say my pre-o friend Vicki who has a great quality life and who I look up to a lot, or even girls like Allanah who lives in the trans scene and is a great business woman.

The trick for me is not placing high expectations on myself and expecting validation from others. I am not a female, I agree with you, genetic females are those who give life, however, I do feel blessed for having been born in a time where I could at least be close enough to a female who cannot have children. I am extremely happy with my body and I love myself so much. In a confident way as opposed to arrogantly.

As Peggy, I am a proud post op woman, and I am not ashamed to disclose that with anyone. I want to be surrounded with people who accept and love me, and people who I can share knowledge with. That being mentally and spiritually.

Your post is an inspiration to others. Everyone is who they are and there is no reason to ask someone... " Why are you who you are "? There is no substantial answer to that question. We can all keep talking abut this forever but the real answer is within us all. That is a question that should better be asked while looking in the mirror.

What makes me... me? Why am I who I am? What makes me a human? Is it my physical body?

I believe that we are human because we are the only animals with a conscience.

Conscience is a hypothesised ability or faculty that distinguishes whether our actions are right or wrong. It leads to feelings of remorse when we do things that go against our moral values, and to feelings of rectitude or integrity when our actions conform to our moral values. It is also the attitude which informs our moral judgment before performing any action. The extent to which such moral judgements are based in reason has been a matter of controversy almost throughout the history of Western philosophy.

On the flip side of this kind of discussion is the ol debate about weather those who don't have the op can really be called transsexuals. The latest time I have found myself in this arguement was in a comment thread in a blog of mine. Basically I rip into a gentleman from this one intersexed activist organizeation for saying that transsexual children do not exist. That such children just grow up to be gay. Even when confronted with youtube vids of kids like "jazz" off of 20/20 he denied the realaity. I felt this was important because some transsexuals like to portray themselves as intersexed quite loudly (when in my experience those who have an actual condition talk about it rarely if at all.)

Anyway the conversation got around to op status. All I could think to write would just have been a rehash of what the two of you wrote. I can think of no better answer to the absurd notion that op-status makes a huge difference than the above quoted message. Brava.

[yodajazz]

In a couple posts you have basically said that anyone who has sex with a pre op transsexual is really gay. This is wrong, except in a very small number of cases. Many people, male and female, like their partners of the opposite sex to have some features of their own sex and still be straight. For example, many women would melt to see a man cry at movie, showing his sensitive and caring side. Some men will like a female who can dress down in jeans, drink beer and watch sports with the boys.

I'm understand you do not want to be stigmatize noone does, but to truly say you are straight after you were rim, fuck , and swallow cum makes no sense. I can also have sex with gg does that make me straight or gay who knows who cares.

My hypothesis is that guys who are fully open gay cock loving tranny chasers and still fuck natal born females are just delusional and pathetic surely pussy feels good,

I used to have a gg when i was in middle school and I can remember how nice her wet pussy felt even when I came inside her did that stop me from going out and finding a dick to fuck me. No.

I could had also lived a lie like many of you guys do.
I could had marry a gg or had children and go out in the dark nights suck a cock and get fuck does that make me straight because I had a wife and kids. No.
I choose not to lie to myself or anyone else.

A man that fakes emotion is trying to hide something.
Male/ females cry ,, bleed all the same
that example is so out dated,, is nice to see guys do pedicure does that make then gay acourse not.

I have seen the most masculine guys who are hypermasculine (macho) to hide insecurities and when they see a cock they get on all fours..

remember I have leave many phases I have seen it all and I'm still young 27 yrs old.

when I was a boy
I dated natal born female gg
I dated preop twoman

when I came out the closet at 16
I dated gay guys
bisexual , closeted men

I remember once been with a guy that his wife was pregnant why I was in his care as soon as we drop her off I fuck him in the ass this is when I was 17 I was very cute handsome.. Do you believe he was honest to himself and his wife that is carrying his child.

I started taking hormones at 18
castrated at 21 and srs at 24

escort as a shemale
escort now to pay for my career working on my bachelor and I am passable standing at 5'4 125lbs

I do it all you can lie to yourself but deep inside you now the truth..

no two genders will satisfy you the same is impossible.

If you find pleasure with a juicy loaded cock full of cum thats fine enjoy your life as your only have one.

But do not say is the same. It is not.

For most tranny chasers if you so much say that you like the girls to be femenine why is it that is an issue and you fuss and hate when the girls get a sex change after all she is still feminine unless your whole attraction was to her cock.

As to girls regretting having srs acourse thats a chance you take. Nothing in life has guarantees..
If you ask me would I do srs again . Sure without a doubt,
Ask me why. 1. passable pussy
2. Have orgasm .
now when a girl like myself saids we have an orgasm is not based on actual juice coming out is based on frontal stimulation in our pgland .
Ask a girl who had a castration if she gets to cum,, she does produce sperm but the sensation is still there sense the nerves are intact. Our nerve endings are intact they are just inverted.

Reason why I believe (persona opinion ) of why some girls might regret their srs.
1. SCARS HORRIBLE RESULTS.
2. No sensation
3. They do not pass as femme

if a girl is not passable or not feminine enought does that her less than. as long as she is mentally capable that she does not pass as a woman then she should be fine.

I personally do not understand girls who get a pussy and look manly I can make a long list but I will give one name. Reene Richars.

She regrets having srs...

Tgirls and Gay Tranny Chasers bash post op when we have been the ones that have fought for most trans rights from caroline cossey (tula) fighting British for legal rights , Roberta Close fighting to be recognize as female in Brazil thereby opening a window for all transright to the mother of all Christine Jorgesen. Now is that pre ops pick up the torch and what do we get the bitter end

It was post op who open society to new ideas and what did the porn industry do made shemale porn and guys jerk off to cock get fuck and swallow cum ,, then you come and state your straight when you might have more hemorrhoids than the moon has cradles.

You keep saying that is the femininity that your attracted if we do a test. put a gorgeous feminine post op femme and a not so feminine beginner with no hormones long hair endrogenous. Most gtc would pick the endrogenous caused she is fully funtional . You can say now I would be with the feminine acourse that was you say I have seen it in person.

As to guys coming with me to be honest with you I do not date guys who go with pre ops. I want him to decided what he wants. I would respect him if he had an experience suck a dick got fuck not for him
.We can have a relationship but dont play me by been with me and then go behind my back and get your ass fuck and swallow the ladies cum and suck their cock dry. thats not experimental 1 time experimental two times three four sweetheart thats your inclination.

Be honest to yourself then you can be honest to others.

I do not fake a period . Im proud of been a second type woman I do not have pads in my home. I been with guys who I had told them about my past and they could hadn;t it thats fine I dated some that didnt care. Do I need to say no I do not..
You guys dont tell gg that your into shemales . Why do I do it becaused I want to us girls who got our sex change to have our own admirers simple as that.

Guys can jump between gg,, preop, postop woman,, androgenous thats fine there open to all. I for one am not.

Just because it might seen cool to experiment does not mean I have to do.

been there done that..

I see tgirls who go with other tgirls.
I see new born femme post op femme with gg,
I seen transmen with gay men
sex is free ,, is ok to cross the lines

I consider myself bisexual, I been with genetic females, born males, twoman,, but I love man. I only date man. I can have a girl stick a strap and fuck me I can meet the most gorgeous man in the world but if he got a pussy sorry not for me. I like DICK JUICE CREAMY DICK just like you do. at least we have something in common.

wether pussy chaser or tranny chaser are better. they are both the same they just want to cum .
The problem with tranny chaser is that they claim they like the femininity
but if they find out a girl has a pussy they are turn of why is that if you like femininity why now your disgusted a girl having a pussy.
unless the whole fantasy was the cock attached to the breast. And to come and say to be with a post op then b wit a born natal genetic female that the point whats the different.. Acourse many differences one is nature . Am I gonna come here and say my pussy has never been discovered I would be nothing by lying . I had guys maybe 1 out of 10 tell me why my click goes upward rather than inward I never expected my pussy to be 100% as a gg but in the high range 85%-90% and thats more than enuff for me.


I'm not here insulting people you guys brought me here. All your hatred about post op is nothing but nasty and show nothing but your unconcious self hatred.

I am not going to say you owed us post op but you should be a bit more grateful it was us who started it all we were the ones who push the envelope.

You started your fetish for cock and hide it by saying your straight then when the ladies get their sex change you out us bring us down. How dare you look at the mirror do you like what you see.

I like what I see and my determination strength courage has made me the person I am.


I'm going to give you another example. I was once arrested by the cops and a tgirl was arrested they were insulting her calling her him and using male pronounts I stood up for her outing myself I told the cops to treat her as a girl regardless. I did not need to do this.

I do my part for equal rights to change history for the new generation. I donate money HRC, Transgender Tapestry , Now, I'm for equality but do not use us for your entertainment I'm not just street smart but a damn smart nerdy whore.

you guys pay the girls for your sexual pleasure your egocentric needs.
I have meet good decent guys. There are good guys out there whether their tranny chasers or pussy chasers but one thing they have in common they do not go out of their way to say post op are gross . The want the girls to be happy as tgirls or new girls. The want her happiness not his selfish fetish. That's the difference. Your entitled to your opinion but based it on facts nor ignorance.

First I want to thank you for responding period. You obviously have some very strong feelings on the topic. I want to thank you for talking about your life history. I have always been fascinated by the stories of the lives of transwomen. That is one reason why I am on this forum. However, I will say this; you don’t need to tell me about the good things you have done for me to respect you. I respect you; 1. as a human being. 2. as a trans woman expressing her humanity.

The problem I have with you is that I believe you have taken the behaviors of a few and over generalized them to a large group of people. And with those generalizations you tend to be very judgmental. And those judgments make you wrong about the behaviors of large number of people on this forum, maybe even a majority of the people here. And your judgments are especially wrong about me. Also your views on married life are somewhat naïve, from my view. From where I sit, you can’t even talk about marriage life until you have put in ten years. I’ll start listening to you once you put in fifteen.

First of all no man in this thread has expressed any hatred for post op, or said they were gross. The original poster on this thread only said that to him, post ops have to compete in the pool of all women with pussies. I happen to think they are special, but several men have taken the viewpoint of Luccas (the original poster here), in other threads. So they didn’t say they hate post ops in other threads either. In other threads some have said they did not like the appearance of some post op pussies they have seen, but they did not say that post ops were gross. And even in those cases where they don’t like the appearance of the particular pussy, that doesn’t mean that they would not get with that person. On the most part people here are happy for those post ops achieving their goals, from what I see.

I may be wrong, but you give me the impression that you think all the men here are bottoms. To be clear I’m talking about taking it in the ass. For example, Luccas said that he wanted to have an experience with a pre op and his girl friend together, and you said “he should just admit that he was nothing more a fudge packer”. There a number of things that a trio of man ts and woman together can do, besides the man bottoming. As for me, I dated a few back in the day and I never bottomed in my life, except being molested once as a child. Many people here have said they don’t bottom, others don’t say. But if they do, who I am to judge what makes them happy? I can relate to the vast majority of men here, who have said that they get turned on by pre-ops, but men do nothing for them. I suggest that you accept the fact that people do what turns them on and makes themselves happy, like you did for yourself. You will find greater peace in life in doing so. And look at it this way: The fact that you are not in the fantasy with luccas and his girlfriend does not mean that he or us, hate you or are putting you down. It is simply what he likes.

I understand you, when you are say that men here say that they are straight, but they are not. My personal believe is that men who like transsexuals are bisexual, but not in the traditional idea of liking males and females equally. I define myself as bisexual in orientation,(but monogamous in practice) because I am attracted to transsexuals, as well as gg’s. I have been on this forum for 22 months and to me when men say they are straight it means ‘mostly straight’ in reality. I think that is that way in the greater society too. An example would be that sometimes men are turned on by boyish types of women. Or even have a little gay fantasy when their usually feminine girlfriend dresses down. I say they are mostly straight, even though there a little gay fantasy going on. People in long term relationships have to be creative or sex can get stale. My s.o. and I watched ts porn and we had some good times.

One last thing. Women on this forum often make general negative statements about men being tranny chasers, or in the case of ‘TPB’, “gay cock loving tranny chasers”. Then they turn around and something like, if this does not apply to you, you should not be offended. But the same people will take offense when someone makes a negative general statement regarding transsexuals. I suppose this “gay cock loving tranny chasers” thing does not apply to me, I haven’t touched a cock in years. And I never in my life have rimmed, tasted or swallowed cum But that phrase bothers me because I know that I am attracted to trans women, pre and post op. Some men on this forum even admit that they have never even has an experience with a tgirl. So see people as individuals and don’t think that everyone here thinks and feels the same way.

And one more thing, many those ‘straight men’ that you seem to idealize are still going after you for that ‘tight pussy’ thrill, not because they now love you. Are pussy chasers any better than tranny chasers?

You may think so, but many, many here have testified how their admiration for trans women goes way beyond any sexual organs. You would find that these men love you, not just because of your new pussy, but the total you, the person that overcame the obstacles of society to become a truer version of themselves.

You come on here and insult people that would love the total you, past and present; not just the new you?

Pussy chasers are better than tranny-cock chasers.

If they're gonna be a chaser or a playa, at least let it be for something
that I have a chance at enjoying.

Fucking guys in the ass, or them munching on my dick was not my cup
of tea.

Ideally I want them to love the totality of me (my spirit, my intelligence,
my sense of humor, etc.)

But if I can't get that, at least if they floss my navel, or eat my pussy like
it was the last meal on Earth, well then fair exchange ain't no robbery. :P

YOU BETTER TESTIFY BITCH!

I be preaching girl.

But you Danielle, tightpussybitch, Steffani, and a few others have been
taking it to a whole nother level.

I can't say how heartwarming and uplifting it is to have other post op
women on HA representing, educating, and speaking the truth.

But remember we gotta stay on the case, cause if we don't the haters
will be back perpetrating in no time.

Power to the pussy.

Brenda,
It is really Definition of terms I think. Transsexual is an easy term to use to define this condition that I think is there from birth, so then one is transsexual or not, regardless of some surgery. But I know there are people who think it simply defines someone whos had a sex change.
The reason I don't like that is because then it goes back to whether being transsexual is a decision? The surgery is a decision, being TS is not.

There are all these people out there that 'live for the surgery'. But for me it was just yet another surgery. Whether I had a pussy or not I still identified as a girl and I still do obviously. Female is a descriptor of the genitals, not of whether one can get pregnant. Lots of people born female cannot reproduce.

I always kind of knew I would eventually have SRS. It was just when it fit in best. It didn't define how I lived my life. It just made passing possible without my clothes on.

Really, you want to know what finally pushed me to go ahead and schedule it, I was sitting with a bunch of my girlfriends at a baby shower for my friend Laura and I just felt incomplete. I dunno exactly how to describe it, but here were like 7 other women sitting there and I was the only one with a cock lol and I thought WTF? I felt like a freak in a way. None of them knew I was thinking this, it was nothing they were doing, but it was something I was feeling inside where I just wanted something I knew I should of always had and I had the means to get it, so I did.

Now thats a pretty honest statement. Oh well, it is what it is girl.

What makes me... me? Why am I who I am? What makes me a human? Is it my physical body?

I believe that we are human because we are the only animals with a conscience.

Conscience is a hypothesised ability or faculty that distinguishes whether our actions are right or wrong. It leads to feelings of remorse when we do things that go against our moral values, and to feelings of rectitude or integrity when our actions conform to our moral values. It is also the attitude which informs our moral judgment before performing any action. The extent to which such moral judgements are based in reason has been a matter of controversy almost throughout the history of Western philosophy.

I think the one thing that distinguishes us from all other animals is that we are able to view our existence from an existential point of view. That which we call 'conscience' could well be argued to be a simple genetic imperative designed to strengthen the species and community as a whole.
