Sorry, she sings 10,000,000 times better, too.

Being out….

Greetings, Annagranfors! I swear I have heard TGP used in conversation before. It may have been that particular person’s own invention, I don’t know. If you like, I can change it.

no, no, that’s okay–no big. I just thought I’d do my part to ensure trans purity (kidding). before my first post, I googled “TGP” and “TGP transgender”, and couldn’t find any legit usage. there’s a bunch of pr0n links, but that’s about it. of course, if you google anything there’s a bunch of pr0n links, but even so.

And, re: the TGP abbreviation of TRex- most TG folks that I have known or known of first have a male societal identity, but later in one way or another (surgery or not) claim the female identity. There are many fewer cases of the reverse- female to male transitions. But, perhaps this is what TRex was including/ being inclusive/ by using the abbreviation TGP. Emphasis on the P- persons- people, as we all are.

hi, Valley Girl! to continue my defense of transpurity, let me first say that there’s a very sizable FTM community, but for the most part, they tend to “pass” better, and are simply less visible–oh, and by the way, that’s the appropriate signifier to describe female-to-males. conversely, MTF = male-to-female. TG, TS, TV, CD y’all probably already know, and all get the Good Transkeeping seal of approval.

TGP? Never heard of it before, but it sounds as good as anything else, so why not?

hi, Donna! my main objection to it would be its seemingly preexisting pr0n provenance. not that I hate pr0n or anything, mind you, but we (the transcommunity) have probably more than enough suitable abbreviations as it is, with the one for transgender (TG) in accepted currency being more than suitable as a catch-all to describe all of us.

so you’re just one of those Nordic Gods with a more eco-friendly carbon foot prints, right?

…or permanent incognito status. Sort of a stealth stud.

i get it. you’ve got this under the radar thing goin’. no problems with those low bridges ‘n all………….

Wow Wolf, @ 443 you’ll be jonesing by Monday!!!! What?…Oh, okay, then I’ll stay out of zeroville for a while too. *g*

Imm at 427 and so on,

Ah, the Mystic lakes. Lower Mystic to the Harbor to the sea. New England’s great with that historic stuff all around us. If it’s as beautiful a day there as it is here, you’ll be blessed!! Have fun.

I read that article about the Maine woman. She was very eloquent.

smells like EPU Spirit . . .

have always enjoyed being surprised by some of the commenter’s gender – love, love, love that gender, age, appearance, education, bank account, job, or social stratum (?) rarely matters – that the only thing that counts is what’s on your mind, how you lay it out and back it up

as a man, it would be cool to be one of these Alberto Mora JAG types – (Ian Fishback, Paul Hackett) the guys who really live the whole duty, honor, country code

but then again, Michael Schumacher leads a totally groovy life . . .

I’m a native Pennsylvanian, thuogh I haven’t lived there for 22 years. Wish I were registered there instead of easy-Dem-win SF….
