Thank you, Adespota. I am, perhaps, over-sensitive to this. When I first went onto YouTube, there was quite a "trans" community there... allot of interaction between trans YouTubers (much more than there seems to be now.) I dove right in, as I think I've mentioned in some of my previous posts here in the Transgender Forum.

At the time, there was quite a bit of talk, within the community, about what they referred to a: "tranny chasers"... in other words, men who wanted to have sexual experiences with MtF transsexual individuals. And because I was not transitioning & said so, I became concerned that others would begin to perceive me as being a tranny chaser.

I remember thinking, at the time: after all of the heartbreak & misery I have endured myself (& inflicted upon others) as a result of my own trans-ness, wouldn't it be ironic if I came to be viewed as a tranny chaser by other transsexual individuals. I still tend to feel like I don't really fit in with the trans community.

I'll be around...
