Re: Cautionary message about Amazon Eve

This is an interesting discussion. Leave it to a "porn" forum to actually be able to have a (mostly) intelligent and rational discussion about such a delicate subject.

Gotta say I'm with Lore on this one. Like him, I hold absolutely no ill will towards anyone based on their sexual preference, gender identity, or taste in clothing. I may not always understand it, but if it makes you happy and you're not hurting anyone, follow your bliss.

That said, deceit is deceit. You can argue semantics until you're blue in the face, but you're still committing a lie of omission if you're TG and don't make that perfectly clear when you're advertising yourself as an object of sexual desire to and <bells and sirens to denote importance> making money off of the dirty thoughts of heterosexual men.

Just like it's not homosexual for a straight man to be attracted to a TG female, it is not always homophobia to not be attracted to a TG female. For many, it's a matter of personal preference. You need to be able to separate disinterest from disgust, fear and/or hatred.

The only remotely close analogy I can make is breast implants. I don't like breast implants. It's a personal thing. If I see a woman with a fantastic rack that looks natural and later find out that she has really well-done and unobvious implants, I will be impressed at the quality, but I will be incredibly disappointed and the attraction will be gone. Does she still have a fantastic rack? Absolutely. But my appreciation for and sexual attraction to that beauty is severely lessened. Is it my hangup? Yes. But if I were paying for a video/photo album/website subscription/etc, it is my right as a consumer to get what I want for what I'm paying for. You can say "but it's all about the fantasy!", but it's MY fantasy. I determine the parameters of my fantasy and I make my purchases accordingly.
