So yeah...earlier I was talking to a friend who also posts here, and this topic came up. First off, I am not judging anyone. Whatever makes a person feel happy is inherently the right thing for them to pursue. That being said, there seem to be two camps among the ranks of trans women.

For some, it seems idea of being treated as a woman really excites them in a sexual way. Their focus is usually about how guys relate to them or how sex after SRS will feel. Of course, every TG certainly thinks of these things...but the way some act about it makes it seem like a degradation/sissy fetish. As in, women are the weaker sex, so to take on the role of a girl gives one a rush. The more excited by this prospect a person is, the more of an act the whole thing becomes. Like oh I'm so girly so I don't know anything "manly". Instead of being themselves, theyre deliberately trying to act in some stereotypical female way. I find it a little insulting to women tbh lol.

For others, transitioning is akin to a spiritual awakening. Every day seems brighter, waking up is a more appetizing proposition. They don't consciously try to act any different, it just feels natural. Of course there is some level of excitement and sexual energy involved, but it's blended into the background of ones mind. Who wants to have sex when you're stuck with a penis anyway?

The two categories are certainly not mutually exclusive, I think most of us have a blend of the two. There are just some that I can identify with...and some I can't.

What do you think about my rambling bitchy thoughts? LOL

i think your primarily 'spot' on. i see myself in the second camp of thinking. lol...try saying 'fetishists' five times fast. for me, it 'feels natural' as you said. i dont need special clothing,etc for me to feel feminine. i feel just the same in a dress as i do in a baggy sweatshirt and jeans/or jamma bottoms. heck i still have one of my ex's dress shirts i ocassionally throw on.i suppose it is a matter of perception...


i am sure there are 'grey areas ' in between,however i do think you are correct.
