This Forum is jacked up....

Also in my opinion, if you call a man a faggot who is attracted to the female looks ie you as a transsexual. Aren't you demeaning yourself in the long run? ...

Yeah, and I think it's the whole circular argument about pre/non-op t-girls wanting to seduce totally straight guys to validate their appeal as women, and rejecting guys who are in any way "trans-attracted" as gay/faggot/whatever; only to get themselves into a catch-22 because truly straight guys by definition only like pussy...

...When I signed up I did an intro post....i was called a trick and gay within the first few minutes LOL

OK but in fairness most of the girls doing the name-calling are

a) Posting under their own well-known (public) names and are themselves targets for haters.

b) (Some of them) escorting and probably not exactly seeing the best side of men's behaviour, to put it mildly. So they might be forgiven a little cynicism.

So it might be somewhat empowering for them to come on HA and let off steam at guys who are almost always safely cloaked in the anonymity of our silly nicknames. Come on, how bad can it hurt for some random girl to call you names?

It's completely painless....

Q - How is stereotyping men based on behavior of clients any different than stereotyping people by race or sexual orientation?

A - It's not.

But, we don't know if that's really what they believe, or if they're just hurling some abuse to make themselves feel good. Either way, as you say it's painless, so we should be able to get past it.

Transexuality, homosexuality, porn, escorting -- not that they necessarily go together but they are subjects of the forum -- these are controversial subjects, and people feel under stress and sometimes even guilty about them, and the stress can lead to "jacked up" behaviour.

It's a good reason to remain anonymous. I don't particularly care about the honor or reputation of "MrF" -- whoever that is. So I don't think I'd ever get stressed out or offended. With that in mind, I feel more free to participate in the conversations.

The good and interesting parts of the forum are the occasional insightful thread or response from which you can learn a lot about transexuality or about sexuality in general. These are buried in with a lot of junk, though. In addition, lots of guys (including me sometimees) enjoy clicking the picture threads. You can tell by the number of views (often in the 100,000 range) which threads are "just pics".

HA is a place where some members seemingly get relief from their tedious, hopeless lives by projecting their aggression on others anonymously.

So I know I'll get blasted for this, especially being new, but good grief this place is jacked up...

It seems like everywhere you turn all you see is bashing....so much hate and so many arguments. The top two I've noticed are gay bashing and racism.

What's so crazy about it is that is seems a lot of the bashing comes from the girls....

I've seen several members be straight attacked, people calling them stuff like power bottom faggots? LMAO...this site is called HUNGangels.com....it is dedicated to transexuals....they have dicks....is it crazy to think some guys would come here to talk about or look to get fucked?

Then we have the racism...all the "Your nuthing but a black this or a black that"...I've seen guys called monkeys, niggers, all sorts of things.

Last but not least, there are a lot of people that tear people apart for being into or talking about CD's....PUH - FUCKING - LEASE????

Did some of these hateful tgirls never fit into the CD/TV category? At any point in their life?


That being said, there are some very fun and very friendly girls and guys here too....imagine how much more participation this board would have if folks weren't afraid to talk about their interests without getting hated on.

It's sad really....to see so much prejudice coming from people that have endured the same thing in their daily life outside of these boards....

I've only been with one TS, and she was an absolute lady and pleasure to be with....it seems like she might be the exception and certainly not the rule.

I've asked myself the very same things many times...so kudos for going public. You have to wade your way through all the bullshit, inside baseball, race baiting, hate, gay bashing, guy bashing, etc but there are open, informative, funny, and interesting threads. I don't mind mixing it up once in a while, in fact respectful, passionate disagreement is healthy..but that's not what this is much of the time .I think Giovanni Hotel's observations and conclusions are spot on.

Well after reading this post and realizing I wasn't the only one feeling this, I've found a trans forum called "Laura's Playground" (google it) and after lurking it seems like a safe place where tgirls and tboys talk about their lives and stuff. If you're looking for a nice conversation you should go there, if you're looking for an escort or a hookup I guess HungAngels is just fine.

You know if some somebody could actually photoshop this so that i applies to this site we'd have a real winner on here.

Agreed. Mostly it comes down to an absence of moderation. So the place is very much a free-fire zone. Admittedly the loudmouths are the rare extreme-edge voices, not representative of average opinions.
