*Sigh* GLAAD needs to get a life. Murder, rape, and abuse of transgendered people is rampant, and they want to get all huffy over a slang word that is rarely seen or used outside of the trans culture and whose primary use is between 'tranny's' themselves?

Puh-leeze!

I'm still puzzling over the fact that some of our ladies find my typed/written use of the word 'gurl' somewhat disturbing (A personal construct to differentiate between GGs, TSs, and dykes: Girl, gurl, grrl - Though the last gets confusing if I am talking about dykes/grrls and cats/grrlz). In deference to what I have found to be a growing opinion, I've actually tried to tone done my use of this pseudo-word.

Some of the ladies on this forum, be they active or lurkers, know me personally, have met and talked with me, and (I would hope) know that I have never had any kind of ill will, prejudice, or disrespect for them or their (Dare I suggest it?) 'race' or culture, yet sometimes a word is just a word. True, those such as 'shemale' and 'tranny' are grating, disrespectful, and degrading (And, speaking for myself, I do not use many of these words in common conversation) but I can't help but recall the children's rhyme:

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me"

While one was beaten with a fire extinguisher, another shot, another raped, beaten with a frying pan and =then= shot, and another hurls herself off a bridge, you lot are pissing and moaning about semantics.

Get the fuck over it.

And we still don't know what this app does!

“Now what does this wonderful can’t-live-without-it app do? You take a picture with it and — wait for it — it adds a “tra**y” into your picture. Get it? She’s playing “peekaboo!” in your picture.”

I thought it was like the pens that when you turn them upside down their clothes come off.

I don't know if I would go as far as "banning" a she-male app or site...I simply wouldn't support it.

And yet here you are, on a site with "Shemale" in the title (see top of your browser).

You guys kill me with nothing better to do than trying to start a fight. Grow the fuck up! I know what the browser says and like I said: I WOULDN'T SUPPORT FOR A SITE THAT USED THE TERM. I DON'T SUPPORT THIS SITE...IT SUPPORTS ME!
Some people are just bitter for no reason!

I think the word "tranny" has wormed its way into pop-culture (terms such as: Tranny Chic for instance..lol) so I doubt its going away any time soon. I believe that's the type of term that might be mildly offensive to some and maybe not at all to others...but I think you'd have to have almost translucent skin to be upset by it (type of people very offended by this are probably "knee-jerk" offended by almost anything).

i thinks the APP can give you head I-BJ or i hope it does lol

[tvman999]

now I can't use the word "gurl" either?

Its just getting so hard to express how much I LOVE the "people" on this site
