Also Azure have you ever considered the fact that its simply just "you". I mean there are other p99 shemales but they don't get the same vitriol directed at you. Probably because its not the defining quality of their character and they dont advertise about their fetish the way you do. I have a sneaking suspicion male or female you are pretty fucking annoying. You probably internalized this rejection of your personality into being about "identity". I guess you thought if you completely altered yourself on the outside somehow that would make you a better person on the inside /eyeroll.

It's not just me and people are constantly posting stuff, the post that prompted this was Dillians post about a trans woman in South Carolina.

Lictor, I'm not exploiting anyone, re-read the thread, the OP and the womans opinion. I'm pretty sure she would like what I've said so far and that I'm in agreement with her. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have mentioned trans people or the bathroom issue if she didn't feel strongly about standing up for us and what people are doing. Why don't you let her speak for herself by reading the first quote in the OP? Better yet you could click her link and comment on her post about how she feels about it directly. Rather than making assumptions about my motives and her desires.

Here:

"It's time I said this. Take a good hard look at my chest. Don't feel weird doing it. There is nothing sacred or sexual left to see.

What is there for you to see is a hollowed arm pit. Breast cancer spreads first to your underarm lymph nodes. Seeing as mine was under my left arm, they removed all of my lymph nodes & a lot of tissue. You may also note an incision that is disfigured as this kept opening up post surgery.

While I can see that the pink ribbon brings comfort to some... I want you to know that breast cancer is ugly. It's not an easy or a glam cancer to have. In fact cancers are one & the same to me. Cells run wild. Immune system compromised.

It robbed me of a precious part of myself that I once nourished my children with. It took away part of my sexual identity. Now that's if we're just talking about my breasts or my former breasts I'll say.

When I chose to not have reconstruction it was for many reasons but most importantly it was because my children had seen me down enough. I wanted them to see me strong again. I wanted them to have their Mother they knew.

Until recently I have been very comfortable with my decision. However... The great bathroom debate of 2016 has hurt more than just the transgender community.

It has hurt us survivors. Recently I notice more eyes trying to figure me out. At the grocery store, restaurants ... Walmart was the worst. I want to scream, YES! You are seeing it right! This is Breast Cancer... Please check yourself!' But instead I let my eyes meet theirs in an almost plea for a change in what has become our society.

I am personally of the belief that no transgender person wants to cause trouble in a bathroom. People just want to use the restroom. There have been terrible acts happening in public restrooms long before this. This is why my children never use a public restroom without me. You don't have to agree with me & I don't have to agree with you. It's ok.

Persons undergoing cancer treatment or post cancer treatment may lack hair & wear a baseball hat. They may have undergone a mastectomy like myself. Please consider these things. Rant over."
