transThis is a request intended for transgender peoples. I’m not sure if this is what the community is for, so I’m going to cut the next section. If you aren’t interested you can skip over this, and nobody’s making you read it.
I have questions I would like answered about sexual response in transgender people (w/natural male and female parts). Unfortunately it’s a bit complicated to find somebody who I can strike up a conversation with and ask the kinds of questions I do openly, so I thought that if I advertised a bit I might find a few people who were willing to help educate me. I have a serious curiosity about matters of human sexuality and can become very detailed in my questions. I would ask that any who interact with me try not to be too surprised if I ask some strange or unexpected questions. I’m not bashful. If you’re interested in helping me you can mail me at azentech@linuxmail.org.
My use of the word transgendered (or transgender, if it pleases you) was based on the following statement:
Originally, the term transgender was coined in the 1970’s by Virginia Prince in the U.S., as a contrast with the term “transsexual,” to refer to someone who does not desire surgical intervention to "change sex," and/or who considers that they fall "between" genders, not identifying strictly to one gender or the other, identifying themselves as neither fully male, nor female.
I was using it as a term independent of transsexualism as opposed to an umbrella term inclusive of it.
Judging from mail I've gotten and comments here, I should have reassured people here about my character, lest I be labeled as a "tranny hunter". I'm not sure what that entails, but I assume by the derogatory implication that I don't want to be one. My questions stem from curiosity and a need to understand anything and everything I can. If I have a question, no matter how socially unacceptable, I figure, "Why not ask?" These kinds of things are like data to me, and I'll try to get information from many sources and compare the results and so on as is done in science.
For the people who have told me that my goal is still unclear, I was talking about physical aspects of transgenderism and sexual response in the area of arousal and orgasm to start, and probably some questions later about social issues and difficulties as well. If you will let me turn you into a test subject of sorts. ;) I hope this is a more sufficient and or reassuring explanation.
