It is really disheartening to know that when trans people talk about their experiences and their lives, it is often viewed with scepticism and sometimes even outright discounted.
It seems that the only people who are taken seriously when it comes to reporting on, or "explaining" "transgenderism", are cisgendered people. A lot can be blamed on the media who seem to be hell bent on portraying all trans people in a negative light.
Thankfully, we have allies who are brave and bold enough to speak up on behalf of our community.
***STOP SHAMING PARTNERS OF TRANS PEOPLE***
" #LoveWins, right? That is the victory cry of the marriage equality ruling. But please excuse the bitterness of those of us who know that, for now, that is not true. As a cisgender man who is attracted to trans women, I would like to know when our love will win. With the recent marriage Supreme Court ruling, as many prematurely declare victory and move their protest signs from the streets to the archives, trans women and the men who love them are still seeing their love lose. We have just witnessed our chances of love get dealt another painful blow.
Yet another "scandal" has erupted about the "embarrassment" of a famous cisgender man caught with a trans woman. The rapper Tyga recently had his alleged text messages leaked, which indicate that he was having relations with a trans woman named Mia Isabella. This story was intended to shame and embarrass Tyga, who has denied the affair.
The focus of this story should not lie with Tyga but with Mia Isabella, a model and porn star who courageously stood up against the backlash. She spoke out, saying: "It's very sad that the idea of a man loving a trans person has to be considered a scandal when all people are equal---love always wins, doesn't it? I live in a world in my mind where everything is a fairy tale of love."
Tyga has joined the ranks of many celebrities who have been shamed for associating with trans women. Two years ago, DJ Mr. Cee, a prominent name in the hip-hop community, made headlines when a video surfaced of Cee soliciting sex from a transgender woman. The story was treated like a scandal, and Mr. Cee left his job in shame. Although we should not simply focus on the celebrities affected by this issue---as the vast majority of trans people and their partners are working class---these stories provide a window into the struggle for those who are not affected.
Janet Mock, a journalist and writer who has written about the problem of shaming trans relationships, recalled the Mr. Cee "scandal" on her show, So Popular!:
It did little to unpack the harmful misconceptions that continue to plague men who desire trans women, a conversation that I do feel these men---who desire the bodies of trans women---need to be having amongst themselves and with their communities. I am not invested in defending or making excuses for the millions of men who desire trans women's bodies in secret, either on the Web, via affairs and flings or through sex work. I am invested in what this public shaming does to the women who are kept in the dark, who are made to feel that they are unworthy of love and acknowledgement, who are made to feel as though they are only deserving of ridicule, harassment, and violence.
Mock is absolutely right that it is my community that needs to organize, self-educate and start treating trans women better. There are no excuses. The problem is that most men who date trans women keep their relationships a secret. They fear losing the privilege that they have for being cisgender and male if they start to openly love trans women.
After constant harassment from the media and the rest of society, if we are not willing to fight for justice for ourselves, we must at least fight for justice for those we claim to love. Even when the story focuses on shaming the cisgender male partner, it is the trans woman who is the real target and who is hurt the most.
The struggle to love is the struggle to live
For trans women, the battle to be loved is inherently tied to the battle to live, the battle against transphobic violence. The abuse and murders of trans women is so rampant that there is only one word left to describe what is happening: gendercide. And given that one of the most common and least-challenged forms of transphobic hate speech in the media is the shaming and mocking of their partners, it would be irresponsible to pretend that the message that trans people are unlovable is not fueling the violence against them.
It is violent to collectively teach a certain group of youth that they will never be loved.
In 2013, a trans woman named Islan Nettles was out when she was catcalled by a group of men. When they realized that she was trans, they proceeded to attack and beat her. She died less than a week later.
Our society has not created space for men to be attracted to trans women. What changed when her attackers realized that she was trans? Were they suddenly not attracted to her anymore? Their violent behavior came out of a place of fear and insecurity when they realized that they had found a woman who was assigned male at birth to be attractive. Masculinity has become so fragile that some men become belligerent when they perceive theirs as threatened. These attacks are far too common, and they often occur for these reasons.
Much of the violence against trans women is indirect. Forty-two percent of trans women report having attempted suicide, and this gut-wrenching statistic clearly comes from these women's oppressed position in this society. When Leelah Alcorn, a trans teenager, took her own life in December, she left a note citing her parents' refusal to allow her to transition and the Christian conversion therapy that she was subjected to as the main causes.
However, partners of trans folks should take note of another comment she made: "I will never find a man who loves me." Many trans children grow up believing this because there are so few partners that are willing to come out. The media constantly tells trans people that they are unworthy of love. It is violent to collectively teach a certain group of youth that they will never be loved.
Partners of trans folk---especially heterosexual cisgender male partners of trans women---need to start coming out and stop treating their partners as a source of shame. We need to start having discussions about the problems within our community, such as the "chaser" culture in which men fetishize and objectify trans women. We have the power to tell society that it is OK to love trans women. Simply by coming out, we could greatly reduce the amount of violence against trans women. We should be on the front lines with the trans women who we are attracted to in their struggle for liberation.
This issue is different from a homosexual person fearing to come out. Two homosexual partners are on an equal playing field regarding their oppression for their sexuality and gender expression. However, in this case, one partner has a lot more privilege than the other. Cisgender male partners of trans women, while oppressed and stigmatized, maintain far more privilege than their trans partners.
When we refuse to come out, we are essentially saying that maintaining our privileged position by keeping our attraction a secret is more important to us than the happiness, dignity, and safety of our partners.
Listen to trans women
Why is this message coming from a cisgender man and not a trans woman? Well, the simple fact is that it has been coming from trans women for decades now, but trans women---especially trans women of color---do not have a platform from which to speak. They repeatedly have their voices drowned out and silenced. The LGB movement has buried the voices of trans folk under cries for marriage "equality"---of which trans women are never included. This all happens simultaneously with the systematic erasure from history of the fact that trans women of color started many of these movements, including the Stonewall Rebellion which was led by Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Jones, and Miss Major.
Without a platform from which to spread their urgent message, trans women literally have to steal the platform to be heard. On June 24, in order to inform the country of the rampant abuse and torture of trans and queer immigrants in detention centers, Jennicet Gutirrez was forced to interrupt President Obama's Pride speech. Without possessing the luxury to protest in a polite manner, the trans community must take any and all opportunities to be heard.
As a cisgender man who is attracted to and dates trans women, I face an incredible amount of stigma and even outright oppression. But if my community is oppressed simply for associating with trans women, what does that say about how oppressed and marginalized their community is? I am speaking about this problem because I have the privilege of being heard, listened to, and taken seriously.
But I am also using this opportunity to tell everyone that we need to do a better job of listening to trans women and paying attention to the struggles their community is going through. The ongoing gendercide of trans people and the stigmatization of trans women's right to love should keep us awake at night. This message should not have to come from a cisgender partner when trans people are saying it every day."

*WHAT I REALISED ABOUT MEN AFTER I TRANSITIONED GENDERS* ... This is a TEDx talk by PAULA STONE WILLIAMS. She talks about how she became acutely aware of male privilege after she transitioned.
We "early transitioners" (I transitioned at 17) tend to regard "late transitioners" with a degree of circumspection. We (early transitioners) did not experience, and consequently benefit from, any male privilege, so our journey to TRANSGENDER CONGRUENCY and practical wellbeing was particularly grueling and challenging beyond what most people are prepared to endure. Nonetheless, here is the Delightful talk by (Pastor) Paula Stone Williams ...

Many people think that transgender people are demanding special rights. That couldn't be further from the truth. We just want equal rights - the same rights most people take for granted.
When it comes to opinions around gender and gender identity, we can agree to disagree. It's not about changing anybody's mind, it's about recognising every individuals right to self determination.

Today is the last day of TRANSGENDER AWARENESS MONTH.
Here is a poem I wrote a few years back ...
TRANSCEND
This is my journey, this is the road I take.
It's hard and it's tough and it's cold and it's cruel.
Twists and turns, many mistakes I make.
Hard lessons learnt in this hard world school.
This is my cross, this is the burden I bear.
It's spines tear me, it's heaviness wears me down.
Though their words cut like knives - pretend I don't care.
Mountains to climb, rivers to cross - I will not drown!
This is my trial, this is my tribulation.
It demands my blood, it demands my sweat, it demands my tears.
In darkest days - death becomes temptation.
Strength of character, strength of conviction,
Allay my doubts, my fears.
This is my curse, this is my blessing.
Not woman, not man -
Yet both.
Privilege or punishment - it keeps me guessing.
Some days I love - some days I loathe!
This is my destiny, these are my days.
Making each moment count - my mission.
Black or white or just many greys?
What's it to be? Only I make that decision.
This is my life, this is my gift.
I accept it, I live it, I love it!
All is possible with a perspective shift.
No more excuses, no more "why me's", no more shit!

Happy 2023 my fellow Pur(ple)verts :-)
(1) Living out my top Bucket/Fukkit list fantasy ... (details to follow).
(2) Sexporting my Sensual Services to other provinces more frequently.
(3) Recording my first video for self-promotional purposes. Not pornographic (sorry to disappoint). Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free, right? Besides, who wants milk when you can have (the) CREAM(of the crop)?

You have mail ROBMAC ... or should that be shemail?...or femail?...lol
Nope, it's not a MFS (Male/Female/Shemale)threesome. Been there, done that (a few times). Would love to do more. Thing is, with a threesome - the chemistry is very important (for me, at least). Ultra Important. When the chemistry is not there for all involved, it could be a bit disappointing. But when the chemistry is great all-round ... Hottt AF :))))))))))))))))

Many times I have been asked by clients, "What is the kinkiest thing that you have ever tried?"
Welllllllll ... being in the adult entertainment industry, and being trans, I have had way more unusual sexperiences than "regular smegular" folks. I am not implying that all trans folks are kinksters extraordinaire, but we do tend to be way more open minded than most. We are as nonjudgmental AF.
I always advise people to try anything at least ... twice. Twice, just in case the first time round was not that amazing (maybe due to poor candidate selection). You have to make absolutely sure, no? I like to practise what I preach, so I have tried many Crazy/Sexy/Cool things :))))))))))))))))))))
So here are both my top fukkit list fantasy and the top type of individual I would like to have some fun with. I'm going to be a bit cryptic ;-)
