That's because males are visual, you're basically attracted to what amounts to a female "mirage".

I read a paper on an experiment with birds where the male of the species was artificially fitted with attachments (feathers or colorings) that were typical of the female of the species, and clustered with female birds, the male bird was mounted by other male birds who though it was a female bird.

Go figure.

This reinforces that males are visually oriented. Doesn't make them gay, or bi... makes them easily fooled and the sex drive overpowers the big brain and they think with the little brain.

Your opinion. I'm not chastising anyone. But when you put pix of trannies on a public discussion forum, you've got to expect people with all kinds of different opinions to comment. And so I did.

The way I see it, transsexuals and gay people aren't hurting anyone.
That is pretty much true.

There's plenty of stuff going on in the world to get angry or upset about...this isn't worth losing sleep over.

I'm neither angry, upset, nor sleepless over these folks.

I know I replied to your post, but I wasn't referring to you personally...rather those who are disgusted by transsexuals or those who say it's a mental disorder. Why not just live and let live? I just cannot fathom why these issues anger so many people. Same goes for gay people and anyone else who is different from the norm, but of no harm to you or I.

I don't give a crap what trannies do, they can do whatever they like.. but I do find it pretty disgusting.

People find a lot of things I do disgusting, least of my worries.

What's disgusting about it? Just curious. Is it because it challenges your notions of what a "man" and a "woman" should be, or are you afraid of what happened to Begbie in Trainspotting happening to you?

You are right. Some men will buy into the illusion and sometimes even go through with it, others will until they see her male parts.

I guess there is an 'ickiness factor' to it, because people aren't used to it.

I guess it's also that some transsexuals are so convincing that many blokes subconsciously worry about having a Begbie experience.

I wouldn't be surprised, really. I think some straight guys wouldn't mind at least 'trying out' a post-op trannie, but would shy away from a relationship with her.
