I may be absolutely clueless but shouldn't a provider let potential customers be aware that she is a post-op transexual?

If she doesn't want to, why should she? If you're looking for a woman with a vagina,  and the woman you meet has a vagina,  why does it matter what parts she was born with?

During the session.

As Josephine said, a post-op trans woman has no obligation to discuss her pre-op body with you or anyone else. She's a woman with a vulva/vagina. If that's what you're looking for, that's what you got.

These TS ladies live as woman, especially if one has "Completely morphed" themselves.   Do they need to be honest? I don't think unless you are going to date them or engage in a long personal relationship. But hobbying-Why should they?  I've heard of few TS who advertise only in the WOMEN/FEMALE section of all TER boards after their transformation, they consider themselves as woman, they live as woman.  One was even arrested in the burbs & they posted their real identity (their former male name) at the time of the arrest which is disgusting of the police yo embarrass them like that... Ugh...

I'm sorry, but I don't think that most of us are that liberal.  Even if I applaud everyone's right to live as they like and feel is right, I would find that to be a big turn-off to the specific reason I am meeting the provider and likely have to walk out.  I think that's my right.  So if the TS doesn't want a lot of walk outs, and the low reviews associated with it, maybe it would be good to mention it beforehand (when setting up the appointment).  I'm sure there are a lot of guys that would be turned on to the idea of a TS anyway!

TS is an advertising term used in the sex industry and describes a woman who still has her cock / Venus / strapless / whatever she prefers to call it.  There is a market for TS ladies, but once a woman fully transitions, she probably does not identify as a TS but rather as a WOMAN.  Maybe as a trans woman.  But many women who have completed their transition simply identify as women, period.  Refusing to respect that is an act of violence, and it has nothing to do with being conservative or liberal.  No lady is obligated to disclose her medical history to a client, and than includes trans women.  They don't have less rights compared to the rest of us just because of their medical journey.

TS girls advertise as TS because they have penises. Men attracted to women with penises seek them out. If a woman advertises as TS when she's got a vagina,  not only will she not get business from men who want women with vaginas, but she'll also get every single man who sought her out for the penis they assumed she had walking out on her and reviewing her badly. Why,  then,  would a woman with a vagina,  regardless of whether she was born with it or not, advertise that she may have or used to have a penis? She wouldn't be able to make a living. I've slept with a post-op trans woman,  her vagina looked just like mine, and absolutely no one by any stretch would know she wasn't "born" a woman.  No trans woman has to divulge her history, especially if she's post-op and in some cases it's outright dangerous to do so.  It has nothing to do with how liberal you are but if you're scared the woman you fuck may not have been born with that vagina you enjoyed, maybe you just shouldn't have sex with anyone. If the idea is such a turn off, considering you literally cannot tell.

Wow, thats real amazing you can not tell.  Who knows, maybe i've slept with post op trans too?  i dubt it, but like you say, you cant tell.  as long as you have good time, why you care?

Ladies, thank you for your insight. Gentlemen,  I share some of your concerns, but it doesn't make it right. No. I will not be outing any provider here or in pm.

I searched the reviews for women.  Not for women who used to be men. My money my fantasy.  If we're at the point in P4P where what constitutes a woman is this fluid and "private" then we are all truly fucked.

If I took the time and energy to search for a woman I want and should get a woman.  As I have said a hundred times on these boards we all have a completely unfettered right to engage the most finite and peculiar desires and demands when it comes to the ineffably intimate act of sex. As long as I have a willing partner on the bed I should be free to get exactly what I asked for and not a facsimile.  Whether that constitutes a hangup in your book is totally irrelevant.   In fact,  your logic is the necessary predicate to saying a provider should fuck anything that walks through her door even if she prefers not to see men of a certain ethnicity,  or men in a certain profession or left handed marine biologists with a lisp.  In short,  when it comes to sex there is no "right" or "wrong"; there is only what I want and what my partner is willing to provide.

So if I can pass for white is it ok to lie to a lady (or simply to not mention it) even if her website says absolutely no "insert ethnicity here"? What other lies of omission will I be permitted to get away with?

As long as the man who walks through your door has a dick and balls and isn't physically abusive then you MUST fuck him. Even if he is 300 lbs overweight, smells like a farm, and is missing all his teeth.  Hmmm, not your preference you say? Sorry but preference went out the window with your logic.  If I care about seeing only women who were born women that's my preference and every provider can refuse to see me because of my narrow mindedness.  That's a possible consequence of my preference.  But at least I didn't lie by omission.

...getting out of the game, because there is no reason whatsoever for a woman who doesn't have a penis to advertise as TS. It's no ones business what her body has gone through, especially yours. Your fantasy involves a woman who makes your dick hard, right? That's essentially what you're paying for. And if that woman has a vagina, but at some point in her life had a penis, it's not your business.  

I can refuse to see a client based on looks, but that's not how I run my business. If someone shows up and is smelly with poor hygiene, that's different than someone walking through my door that doesn't fit my definition of attractive.

Considering race is a social construct and genetalia is a biological  characteristic, those aren't even equal. If a woman has a vagina,  why does it matter what she used to have? She IS a woman.  A biological woman.  

If we turn your logic around why do some women have a right to object to the fact that I have dark skin and nappy hair? Perhaps because they're about to engage in the most intimate thing any 2 humans can do. When that Rubicon is crossed the lady can and should employ any discriminating factor she wishes. Why should the male half of the tryst not be able to do the same? Otherwise every provider must fuck every man who shows up with working equipment.

In fact it's particularly on point. The provider in this case has made a conscious decision to change genders. So the question remains--is it ok if I hide my original ethnicity as long as I can successfully pull off being Anglo?

We're all closed minded when it comes to sex. To deny that is simply ridiculous.  I like tall and thin, you like a short muscular build, he likes Zaftig. No one is required to be so open minded that they will sleep with anyone who walks through the door.  

Again, your arguments fail; thanks for all the straw men.  

Then you better start asking for DNA tests because lots of women are born intersex and are genitally mutilated at birth so that they can have "normal" vaginas and can be raised as women rather than having an abnormal gender experience.  About 1% of births (that's one out of every one hundred people born) experience this, and standard medical practice is to convince the parents to have surgery done to turn them into girls and never speak of it again.  So probably 0.5-1% of the people who think they are "women" have had genital surgery at birth and you can't tell by looking.  Often these folks may not be XX chromosomed.  If you really need your gal to be a XX then you need to ask every lady you see to have genetic testing done and show you the results.

Relax.... It is just a joke
