It's more about looks and getting the job done "right" that these Ladyboy's enjoy.

Besides, it's all about good intentions to spotting the difference. I don't see anything wrong with that.

I see your guys points, but don't talk about something you don't understand. Do any of you even know anyone like this? I mean, come on.

Well, since you're not a mod, don't worry about it.

Don't let it worry you too much.

I have a friend who is a transsexual, yet he admits he's as a man, despite he got it chopped off. He laughs along at such things, when people use it against him as an insult.

Transsexual people, the majority, are quite over-sensitive about this subject. And which is why you're finding it insultive, because you know that the majority of your transsexual friends would be insulted at it.

Do keep in mind, darling, that we ain't insulting transsexuals. Only discussing.

Okay, I get that. But I just think it's stupid that this kind of thing is allowed to be openly discussed, yet we're not allowed to talk about gay people. I mean...where's the logic in that?

And yes, they can be sort of oversensitive it but I mean, they go through a lot of shit to get where they are.

That's understandable, but we, as people, cannot sugar coat our discussions just because a group of people are offended by such things. Ofcourse, insulting them is a different thing, but discussing it isn't something we can protect people from all the time.

Although I agree with you, because I'd love to talk and discuss many things on this forum, but sadly, some stuff is allowed, and some stuff isn't.

2.4 Topics of religion and sexual orientation are not permitted.

This is not a discussion about sexuality or sexual orientation. If it were to move in that direction I think we would see a problem.

I don't believe picking men or women out of a lineup is breaking any rules here.

I disagree.
I just find this wrong... first of all, calling them ladyboys? That's discriminatory, or something?

also, allowing voting is like making a game out of people's choices/lives, imo.
