Getting to Know a Transgender on the Internet

If you want to get to know a transgender on the internet, please treat us with a bit of respect. We are not whores trying to get laid. Most of us are just here trying to find a few new friends whom we have something in common with and who will accept us for who we really are.

Also keep in mind that there are a few things that REALLY shock us (that's my attempt at a shocked face to the right), disgust us, tick us off and/or will get you blocked from major websites:

1. We are NOT interested in seeing a profile and/or photo-stream with a blurred face and  your penis. Please realize that this is also a turn-off for most hetero and non-transgender people as well.
2. If you "follow" us on Flickr but when we check out YOUR page, it says: "(Username) doesn't have anything available to you". VERY CREEPY
3. If  your photo-stream is all OTHER people's pictures... Again... VERY CREEPY!
4. If your photo-stream is all YOUR face Photoshop-ed onto OTHER PEOPLE'S bodies (a lot of us may Photoshop ourselves onto other people... but you should NOT upload them to Flickr and other sites pretending that it's you... be yourself and embrace who you are).
5. If I/we make it VERY CLEAR that we are NOT interested in hooking up with guys but are always being emailed and messaged by very persistent guys looking to hook up anyways. READ THE PROFILES BEFORE YOU SEND THE EMAIL.
6. You send us a nice comment, but then we notice the same EXACT SAME comment from you on dozens of other people's pages. Once Again... VERY CREEPY!

Long story short... Unless it's stated in our profiles that we want to be treated like a whore, please show us the same respect that YOU would expect from anyone else who just met you.
