So men really are to blame for indulging these wish lists seem to be the gist of this?

First of all, 9 to 5'ers aren't going to get any sympathy from me. If they want to work harder instead of smarter, that's their prerogative but it certainly doesn't make them better than the rest of us. Let see you bend over and take it in the ass because the only jobs in your area left are McJobs and you can't move because you're a single mom and need to be near your child. :geek:
Again, I'm interjecting my personal experience into this, and I admit that may be a bit limited in scope, but your attitude is based on your knowledge and experience. Please allow me to add to that knowledge and experience.

I applied to be a taxi driver. They turned me down because I'm a medicinal marijuana patient. It doesn't matter if I intended to drive high or not, and anti-depressants with even worse side effects are seemingly more acceptable. Not to mention that so many other transwomen can't get jobs simply because of who they are. Society shouldn't be able to dictate what types of meds I'm allowed to take or which gender I'm supposed to represent, particularly since the law validates my very necessary choices, and so society shouldn't bitch when it gets nothing in return.
We don't contribute as much because we're marginalized. We're not marginalized because we don't want to contribute. I think you're being pretty callous here.

Didn't you know? Men are always to blame. Every. Single. Time. And no matter the issue being discussed.

I think that settles it - they really are women born in men's bodies ;-)

Thank You for your input Allanah. That sounds like the guys you've had some connection or relations with either through clients,,the many parties,,maybe even some form of internet chatting for a while,,etc. That is all fine and good. What I am talking about (and it seems others agree as well) is the girls who "Talk" the luxurious lifestyle,,try to get fed off of a very short-lived pornstar career, spew hate with threads yet try to project a lifestyle of being happily married and "I got it goin on",,etc..etc. Well,,WTF are you you sitting on your ass starting threads begging for gifts if you got hubby there and you are so happy? Or,,if you are escorting and you have a standard policy of non-negotiating discounts or freebies,,,then why would you stoop so low to beg for free gifts yourself. If a girl had any pride or self-respect,,she would ask or suggest it discreetly. Not on a free board like this and definitely not with the promise of used panties in return!!

I shed a tear not because they're escorts but because of WHY they're escorts. Call me soft.......but I'm still not contributing to no damn wish list!

Seems little enough to do for someone whose given me much pleasure and communicated with me, albeit for that most part online.:Bowdown::Bowdown::Bowdown:

Why don't you go do that, friend, rather than suggest what I'm doing is wrong. I'm not saying you have to or should do it, but for a guy in my situation a wishlist is an excellent way for me to do something nice for a lady I like without compromising my marriage vows. Somehow I suspect the starving kids in Rawanda have the same chance of getting something from you as any girl on here does.:fu:

Damn straight...............I can appreciate a girl getting things without asking. THAT is part of the game. But advertising a list of cheap garbage that you wish for while claiming you've got some kind of idyllic life just plain lacks self-respect.

Is it wrong of me to actually agree with that? :lol:
There's a lot of fronting that goes on in this community.
