The recent National Transgender Discrimination Survey showed that 26 percent of trans people in our sample had faced physical attack at some point for being transgender and ten percent experienced sexual assault.

I know while most of the guys that post on this board are more concerned with sucking a tranny cock for $150 or less & finding bargain girls that cum like a man, we must all realize what Transgender people go through on a day to day basis. We aren't hiding our gender variances, expressions or lifestyle. We don't run around all day pretending to be whatever society has taught us to be in public then, secretly sit at home jerking off to chicks with dicks, wondering if we are straight or gay. Nor on discussion boards talking about swallowing huge loads of cum or getting fucked by the biggest cocks we can find.

We live our lives true to ourselves each and every day. We face the hate that people show around their family and friends. But we march forward despite the intolerance during the day, and the lowly  cocksuckers sneaking around by night.

PLEASE REMEMBER OUR DEAD - http://transgenderequality.wordpress.com/2011/11/20/remembering-our-dead/

xoxox,

Jas

While I totally respect your post, referring to the day of remembrance, I don't feel it is appropriate to label people who contribute or participate on the board.   That in itself is casting judgement on another in a negative light.  As much as I wanted to edit out your comment, I figure leaving it alone will have more of an impact.

Happy Holidays!

Jas, fully support remembrance of those that past and increasing awareness and understanding of those in the gay, lesbian, transgendered and bi in the community...equal rights should pertain to ALL. However, your post comes off like an attack on the very people who help support you financially. Your post labeled those that see transgendered providers as "lowly cocksuckers". Not sure how you can request understanding, tolerance and support with one breath and then with the next breath attack and demean your clientele and posters on this board.

This is just me, but I would think the people who are clients of TS providers and contributors to this board would have a stronger sense of understanding what transgendered people go through. I've spoken to TS girls from this board as well as those I've met in "regular" places and I've heard some rather sad stories of the type of abuse they've endured and that has always made me upset but also amazed at their strength to remain who they are. I support the GLTB community in my area despite my defining my orientation as "straight"...I volunteer at the Pride festival and donate. To me quality of character counts more than any other aspect of a person (wealth, brains, looks or orientation).

My point is that though your main topic of remembrance is important and deserves attention, I don't think the manner of your delivery is going to meet with favorable response...requesting tolerance of the very people you then belittle isn't a method that works inmy opinion. Maybe you had a different intent and the words didn't come out the way you intended. This date has been a day of remembrance since 1999 and I will take a moment of silence to honor it as I'm sure many others will as at a minimum you did make some people aware that this day does exist.

I think your post is unfair to the majority of members and posters here on TER, to label all is the same intolenance as associated with what your trying to get to be tolerant,  most of the members here have respect for the Transgendered Community, and we support you "All", what we don't support is the misguided thought that "We Dont Care", your wrong. So lighten up, we are your supporters, and we respect those who are not with us for what ever reason!

I understand your concern about my delivery and appreciate your support of the LBGT community. I have only a 7" cock, most of the time I only dribble when I cum & I don't give discounts. So I am not too concerned about offending the bargain shopper looking for any big dick and huge load. I make no apologies to men who see a cock and don't see a human behind it. I think I turn down 90% of guys who call and mention they are active on this board.

I earn most of my money producing and performing in porn. Providing services is a side line for me I do for fun and frankly, haven't done in months.  I have met a few great clients on TER who've initiated their interest based on reputation. These aren't the same guys babbling on discussion boards & seeking the biggest cocks with the hugest loads for a bargain. JMTC & foggarty are about the only guys who I like, who do participate on the discussion board. Otherwise, the men I agree to see are doing their own research and selecting quality providers, not basing their selection on cock size, cum volume or price. I cater to men who look for personalities and experiences they could never reach in the mainstream world. Men who want the fantasy fulfilled. These men typically laugh at the guys who post 411 info looking for discount girls or whatever.

As a very active Trans Advocate, I receive countless "middle of the night" calls from girls who want to end their lives over the types of discussions that wrap around cock size, volumes of cum and bargain shoppers. Please understand in the past 6 months alone, I've buried 2 young trans friends that have committed suicide due to the way they feel after seeing numerous "bargain shoppers." these girls couldn't handle how they are viewed by society and it carried over to their work.

In the end, this board has rarely treated me with respect. The last 13 men who wrote reviews for me couldn't get them posted for whatever reason. While its moderators show definite favoritism on some girls and try to discredit girls they've never even seen. Im not too worried about how im viewed here. I value the men who come to TER to guide a decision, not the guys all kissing asses on boards.

Hello mjp1966, your comment is spot on and appreciated. That is why I left the post/comment alone feeling the impact/response would be the most effective message.  There is nothing worse than an individual who feels they have a sense of entitlement to cast judgement upon others to make themselves feel better.   Unfortunately, there will always be trouble makers who are board members and providers.  Longer term, the good peeps click and continue to contribute and the trouble makers/bad apples move on to spread their misery elsewhere.  As my parents once said, and its not a new comment, if you have nothing good to say, then don't say anything at all"  And I follow that comment, knowing this is a review site by saying that if you have negative comments, make sure they are backed up with solid facts or go home.  

The best thing about freedom of speech is not that you get to say whatever you want; it's that other people get to say whatever they want, and you get the chance to decide what they're all about. In this case, I'm grateful that freedom of speech allowed Miss Jasmine to show her disrespect for and make an unjustified attack on a lot of people on this board. I don't doubt that there are people who deserve her description; some of them might even be regular posters to these discussions, although I don't recall reading many requests here in the form she's describing. But I'm sure I'm not alone in deciding that Miss Jasmine has no space on my bucket list. Good choice to leave it up, Dog.

You know... I read this post the other day, but didn't post anything on it because I didn't want to leave a rude comment (what I was going to post wasn't going to be very nice). I certainly hope Dog and the other mods give us the same freedom to retort. With that said, I understand the intentions of her original post. So I said my little prayer and gave my moment of silence to show respect.  

With all the hate going on in the world, I can see why she is upset (other than the fact that she doesn't give a shit).  It just goes to show that hatred is aparently on both sides of the coin.

While her posts were fueled with the same hate that fuels crimes against TG folks. People have made a good point: with this being in a client based profession, one would think that she would thought before posting.

Its funny that she posts this here and not on her public webpage (or twitter/blog/etc).  Where her "real customers" can take offense. I find it exceptionally funny that a few posts below, she's trying tell us "closet cocksuckers"  where she will be, so we can come spend our money on her.

Anyway, someone else already said this, but I have to repeat it (my way). While my pockets are certainly big enough to handle her, my bucket list simply doesn't have room to hold her ego.

Pornstars always feel as though they deserve some sort of entitlement.

Forgive my rant.

I just wanted to say Thank You for posting this Jasmine about the Transgender Day of Remembrance (http://transgenderequality.wordpress.com/2011/11/20/remembering-our-dead/).

Please try not to let the frustrations get to you.  As for myself, I just accept that guys (or even natural born women) will never understand us. I just try to concentrate on my vision of the woman I am inside, and on being a bringing that woman out for others to see.

I myself am not a provider. I am a Detroit area auto worker who transitioned in the workplace at 50 years old. I was lucky - I got to keep my job due to company policy protecting LGBT employees. I have also been very lucky to not lose my job in this economic downturn. Many other TS women are not so lucky. They lose their job (and any chance of finding another job) along with also losing all their family and all their previous friends. These are the ones who commit suicide. It is very frustrating to see this up close and personal and does make one angry at society's double stands.

Please try to understand Jasmine's feelings.

Sincerely,

Wendy

Thank you for the note.   I am not sure if you have been reading the board long but we fully understand or do our best to understand the feelings of anyone who contributes to the board, expecially transgender participants. Most of the posts above support this day, as well as the feelings of people acting civil to the ones that support them and continually contribute here in a positive fashion.

Thank You for saying Hi, and Thank You for your understanding.

Welcome back MissJasmine. Been awhile since you've participated here on the board. No offense, but you seem even angrier now then when you signed off, what, a year ago? You make a valid point, most guys here signed on to this site to find out about dating professionals. This is a review site, not a support one. Now 90% of us know not to call you. Best of luck, I'm going back to showing favoritism to the ladies who I've met, don't know who I am, and can vouch for on this board.
