Geez, you guys got problems. Here in the Bay Area it seem the only ones who don’t pass are intentionally not passing. Kind of an attention thing. Does that make sense? Anyway as to the OP do I ever want to grab…well the wife occasionally reads this board so no comment 
dropzone, don’t be silly. It takes more than that to hurt my feelings. lee still teases me sometimes about some of the atrocious fashion choices I made back in those days.
FWIW, that guy I was talking about wasn’t nearly as bad as most of the non-transvestite/transgender customers I saw. Can we say Mullet Heaven?
Conversely I wonder many many great looking ones go by every day without anyone knowing about it.
Bad example: I was watching the Man Show the other day (umm for research purposes only- yeah that’s it), and they had some lame skit about annoyances- and in one “booth” was this knockout model and I was sure the annoyance was expensive dinner, dumb as a stump-- something stereotypical like that. Instead, as the punchline she lifted her dress she proved she was pre-Op, and well gifted by the Creator if you know what I mean. I never would have guessed in a million years.
Well, Guin, this thread was first centered on transvestites, not even including the transgendered. A hijack might make it more entertaining than this lovefest has gotten. 
Thank you, elf6c, for reminding me why I never watch The Man Show, and why I must remind myself to never watch it in the future . . .
You are welcome Eve.
I caught Howard-Fucking-Stern the other night. He had three women on and everyone was guessing who was the transgendered one. It was pathetic, although the trans woman was loving the limelight. She dropped trou so everyone could see what post-op looks like. I was bothered by her circus attitude toward the whole thing. Howard and the side-kicks were not kind. Why would she put herself (and all other TGs, for that matter) up to that sort of ridicule?
I’ve seen the same thing on Maury Povich and Jenny Jones.
It’s just for ratings sakes.
It’s stupid.
KellyM, that comic was great 
The one you linked to cracked me up, feels very relevant. I am at present only barely restraining myself from bitchslapping the local MtF who is consistantly harassing me not being feminine enough, “girls don’t drink beer, girls don’t wear trainers, girls don’t…”.
You would think when people are “breaking the rules” by such a huge amount that they would not bring the rules with them!
Hey, sleazy camera whores come in all types.

where they sell laundry soap

With all apologies to the Brothers Davies 
The thing I don’t get about TV’s is how they get such big feet into such tiny shoes!
Hell, I don’t think it’s a transvestite thing.
I remember some of my fashion faux pas when I was first learning to wear make up at the tender age of 12.
I recall one time when I was 11, my mom bought me a little can of hair spray, and I used almost the entire bottle up in one day.
Okay, Guin, I’ll admit it. The rant started out about bad makeup on transvestites AND young girls. I thought I should focus it better but if YOU think the focus isn’t broad enough…
Back in MY day they didn’t have all these fancy mousses and such you spoiled young ‘uns have AND the wimminfolk had big hair so you couldn’t do nuthin’ with just one of them LITTLE cans of hair spray.
(I hope I have built up sufficient credibility with my transgendered friends to get away with the next anecdote)
Iteki, when my wife processed insurance claims she had a regular who was an MtF. She’d call in checking on the status of her perfectly legitimate and covered claims that hadn’t been paid yet because, well, it WAS and insurance company and chat with Wife about her female complaints, “You know how it is with us girls.”
Wife could only think, “Unless those surgeons performed a miracle…”
Oh no, I’m just trying to make people feel better. (When Kelly said she used to make some pretty bad fashion choices…)
But I see what you’re saying. I’ve seen some people on other boards that were militant anti-male feminists-and MTF. You know, you’d think you’d be a little more tolerant…
Guinastasia, I have a bit of an anti-male streak in me. I try not to let it get the better of me, though.
No problem. I much prefer the company of women. Too many men are so, I don’t know, LIMITED.
dropzone, that’s exactly my position on the matter. The vast majority of men are mindnumbingly boring. Why should I spend time with them?
Well I have been trying to set the title of this thread to music, something along the lines of “Coming Thru the Wry” but it ain’t workin’.
Okay. Some years ago, right around Halloween (this is important) I went into the grocery story and there was a guy in a yellow formal. Kind of a prom dress thing. No–more of a bridesmaid’s dress. Strapless, backless. And high silver heels.
Other than that, he’d made no effort at all. Mustache, not shaved. Hairy shoulders, not shaved. Lots of long curly hair which might or might not have been a wig, but if it was a wig then I will give him a few more effort points.
And he was at the deli buying potato salad. For (I have to assume) the party he was on his way to?
I should mention that this particular store was frequented by people who were actual, serious transvestites. I never failed to see at least one in there, and they looked (mostly) good. Occasionally I would see one that didn’t quite have it something down but it was usually the body language. But this guy–I would have guessed he’d lost a bet, except he was just so matter of fact about it.
At least yellow was one of his colors.
Cicada2003, could have been a fraternity hazing stunt.
