So many gay references

True enough, asking about privacy would be perhaps the better answer, and a psych would probably be helpful, if most of them didn't have issues with this stuff already. Maybe put a psych's contact info on your page... just in case they are shy about knowing who to talk too? joking there...

And DL_NL is sadly right about most folks to at least some degree. Not sure his solution works for me though... I always hated not being listened too... hate to do it to someone else.

People are generally self-centred, ignorant, insensitive and plain dumb. Why should an escort's clients be any different?

My solution: I see mouths move, but I just don't listen to the crap that comes out.

Good point.

Question, does NL stand for Nederlands?

I am now 40, divorced twice and finally at peace with my sexuality. Having dated tgirls and women since I was 18, it took me this long to realize I am just a sexual being.
My straight friends in my hometown thought I was gay and the gay people I knew thought I was straight, it's my personal joke, but it's true.
I was sitting in a bar in Toldeo, back in the early 90's I think it was called Ceasar's, flirting with a genetic Women and having a tgirl name chichi flirt with me, the genetic Women made a point about how much more of a Women chichi was than she was, and that statement has stuck with me to this day.
Having been dealing with the cock mentality for years, I used to think I liked Men because I liked a tgirl who had a cock, but Men just aren't my thing, we are hairy, and some men are just plain nasty.
Tgirls skin is so much softer, I think it's the hormones and many act much more lady like, so many genetic Ladies now days dress to much like Men, IMHO. My dream girl is a post op tgirl because she has wanted to be a Lady her whole life. The tgirl appreciates the finer things about being a Woman that the genetic Woman takes for granted.
All Men who like Tgirls don't just want you ladies for your cock, I know it may be hard to imagine, but we are out here.

Interesting, I have a bit to do with the police force and when they bring in a transvestite they will refer to him as a man in drag conversely they will refer to a passable transsexual as a girl...until documents are available (sometime they are not willing to disclose this information) and then they are refered to as a transsexual (in most cases police try to be PC) but of course you have idiots that refer to them as "that thing" or "IT". I think the sexuality thing is interesting because a transvestite who likes men will often be referred to as a gay man but as they transition and depending how passable they become the topic of their orientation tends to fade away a little. But in saying that in my country if a transgendered person was to enter into a relationship with another man and wanted to ratify it with whats called a Civil Union, the couple will be recognised but will be recognised officially but as a gay couple on paper.
My preferences is shemales bottoming to me it is just like a boy and a girl having straight sex but for some reason the role reversal is a repellent for me. I view shemales as effeminate in that they wear makeup, like to dress up etc etc and i because of this I personally would perceive shemale who is in this feminine role and bottoms as a straight female...perception is a funny thing huh. hope this makes some sense.

Macjay, it makes a lot of sense. Yes we work for every ounce of femininity and its all patiently and hard earned and I think most TS will agree, never enough. That's why I stated originally I found it insulting that I would have to listen to a guy go on and on about his ambivelent feelings towards homosexuality. That's not how we want to be perceived.

May I add FINALLY we are getting some quality and thought provoking responses to the topic. Thank you, gentlemen.

I do have a question though macjay; you said "when a transgender person enters into a relationship with another man". See, you said "another man" I found that curious and somewhat contradictory to your sentiments. You have 30 minutes to explain yourself. Good luck.
