As far as I’m concerned, any man would be damned lucky to have me “foisted” upon him, and the fact that I have removed myself from the dating pool should be a source of nationwide teeth-gnashing and wailing.
Orphans of the Storm is a terrific film.
And what about The Wind? Very comforting, I thought.
If it makes you feel any better: that means you can blame the Dutch, too. 
Damn straight, Eve! DAMN straight.
Don’t you call Eve a ho!
While I fully understand Eve’s outrage and irritation at this particular show concept, who isn’t treated as a walking punchline by the media these days? Do you think the six men came out of this situation looking like innocent victims?
Humiliation television is just a bad idea all around. I blame Allen Funt, myself.
great big fat :rolleyes::mad:
triple underlines and exclamation points for “Train to present Gender 101 Sensitivity Workshops” in my agenda
Reality shows like this should be categorized as hate speech.
Sadly true, probably. To paraphrase Mrs. Parker, “Men seldom pinch fannies of girls who are trannies.”
Well, I wouldn’t date her. I don’t care for fake boobs, which hers so clearly are.
Never, ever, ever agree to go on any sort of day time talk show or reality TV show. There will be a twist and you will not like it.

What’s even sadder is when TG/TS individuals not only cannot find support from the G/L/Bi commnities, they are ostracized and even openly attacked by self-called “gay crusaders”. I guess it’s all about hate more than doing what’s right. :rolleyes:
Seeing you write this reminds me of a Simpson’s episode where a wealthy-looking cultured woman in New York is pushed aside by Homer, and she exclaims something along the lines of “Dear me! I certainly hope someone stabs that gentleman!”
I agree. I’m gnashing my teeth right now.
Don’t I know it! I’ve turned down invites from Geraldo and his ilk, but once agreed to appear on Donahue, imaging it would be a dignifed discussion of the topic. I was laboring under a misapprehension: when I got there, I was joined by a F-to-M transsexual, a drag queen, a transvestite, a hermaphrodite, the Professor and Mary Ann.
All that was missing was Johnny Eck on a table chanting “Geeble Gobble, one of us!”
Cite?
Una, to be fair, a lot of gay people don’t really know what transsexuals are like, since so many of them are in the closet. Their image is warped, the same way it is for the rest of the public, by people like Miriam and all those others that show up on shows like Geraldo and Montel.
gobear: Norah Vincent. Less recently, Janice Raymond. The Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival and it’s “womyn-born-womyn” policy. There are others. Some threads in which these have been discussed before are cited below:

I was reluctant to identify as lesbian for a long time because of my transgendered status.
Mr. Norah Vincent is a giant asshole, that’s for damn sure. I remember when that (“I would call an FTM transsexual Ms, because grammar is based on chromosomes” - yes, that was Vincent’s argument) came out in the Advocate. I was not happy.
Hell, you should see the hostility directed at MtFs at Ms., as well as calling FtMs “traitors.” It’s a small minority, but it’s a rather vocal one. And quite nasty.
Shameful. Truly shameful for everyone involved with the show. On the other hand, I now understand how NBC had the stones to put Average Joe into production.
