Sweetie let me educate you a bit whether you want to believe it or not BUT men that sleep with trannys 95% DONT sleep with "gay" men. They are ususaly bi-curious/Straight men who are intrigued or curious about the transsexual side of things. Most would rather eat glass than sleep with some hairy man. They are attracted by what they see: feminine body, breast, long hair, smooth skin etcc and the special surprise below. We as transsexuals usually dont associate within the gay community and live a pretty "noraml" life.

I totally agree that the gay community has a MUCH higher risk with H.I.V however the ts community as a whole isnt classified within that community. If you look at any website we are classified as "straight", "speciality", or "niche" NOT GAY!!



Please learn to format your posts.

Firstly, I didn't classify transsexuals as gay, I merely used the extreme example to disprove your point that unprotected sex is "HIGH RISK. SIMPLE", by pointing out the vastly different relative risks in different scenarios. However, there is one key reason why transexuals are in a similar risk bracket as gay men. It comes down to Isabel's point that receiving anal sex is the riskiest activity. One of the big reasons HIV spread so quickly through the gay community is that a "taker" can also be a "giver", greatly increasing the likelihood of retransmission. This also applies to transsexuals.

Secondly, your notions about "straight" men liking transsexuals is laughable. Risk levels depend on a person's behavior, not their self-chosen label. There's a whole gay subculture of men who insist they are 100% "Str8", despite regularly having sex with other men. If you think that men who fuck transsexuals are representative of the general risk level of straight guys, you're kidding yourself.

What's hypocritical is how you so readily acknowledge the higher risk within the gay community, but yourself try to lay claim to the lower risk of heterosexuals. Perhaps if you were one of those who were born male, wanted to be female, went the whole way surgically and tried to integrate into society as a woman, you could rightfully make that claim. Far be it from me to deny your right to celebrate your "third gender", but by choosing to be a chick with a dick you are most definately setting yourself apart from the regular heterosexual community. You're higher risk in terms of both the acts that you perform and people that would perform them with you.

AIM is irrelevant when discussing these risks; it's all about the Darren James scenario.
