it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Why would the hobbyist use the gender specific term of "he"? Was the hobbyist trying to be insultive to the provider without the consideration of collateral damage towards the entire TG community or was he specifically looking for a man in drag, because he is actually GAY? hmmm? intertesting...no?

Rachel - I have seen many 'bad' reviews use the word 'he' instead of 'she'.  I think it is more a personal attack after a bad experience.

hi lotus honey...yes, i am aware that it is a personal attack(juvenile as well), but it is also a very telling and sad commentary about how he really feels about the TG community as a whole and though he does not recognize this fact, ultimately how he views himself(and what he truly desires)...DFK, Rachel

I think everyone's missing the point here. He/she, if true did a melt down and threatened a client with a knife. Whatever you call the person, this was wrong and blight on both the g/g and t/s community. It's this type of behavior that brings LE into the picture. As an aside, it's all the more reason not ot use CL.

Well, I have read this review 3 times now. Once on SER, once on CL and once I can't recall. In all three there was a crazy "guy" that got the hobbyist naked and then proceeded to make a scene in the hotel that forced the client to leave without his money.

Once, it caught my attention. Twice, it peaked my curiosity. Thrice, a SCAM

Just my opinion! FWIW

By using "He" the poster is surely insulting but that's understandable given his experience. I am assuming (correctly or incorrectly) it's a real experience not just a scam.

Given the how little we know of both parties, I would reserve judgement. I just posted to warn everyone of us here about something that is happening out there. Whether the incident was real or not....it sucks either way.

BTW Rachel ...remember I love you. I have not had a chance to see you, but if I come downtown on work I'll make time to see you. Hopefully, you'll agree to see me too. I love your friends too...Jasmine, Melissa and Shana. You all are the exalted ladies of the windy city.

xoxoxo

of course it is sis, like after we turn down a man,what do they start saying ''well your a man anyway''  ''your ugly'' etc...
i belive they start to say how they really feel just because they got rejected.

When you reject a hopeful suitor, he feels dejected and insecure and is lashing out at what he perceives as a point of possible insecurity on your behalf.  He's attempting to make you feel as he feels and uses the vehicle most readily apparent, your transsexual status.  If it bothers you when a man mean-spiritedly calls you a man, then his mission was accomplished.  His mission is not to hate on transsexuals in general, it is to hurt someone in particular.  Why would he hit on a transsexual if he thinks they are ugly?

I don't think that labeling a TS "he" says anything about what the craigslist poster thinks about the TG community at large.  I think it is a personal attack on his behalf, though it may mean that he views TSs as men.  If their is inherently something negative about being a man and this if is the view held by the TG community then it would seem that the TG community is as guilty of man-hate and gay-hate as the craigslist poster is of TS hate.

well many people get nasty when they get rejected, just human nature i guess, but yes that wasnt the point of the orignal poster but to warn us about this person

I amm always a sucker for a $3-$5 word user...come see the ladies of chitown, love...
