How many people from here would be interested in going to a trans-only* play party, if someone were willing to organise one (not me!). And if yes, within what radius would it need to be?
Maybe more people would be interested if they could bring partners who aren't trans. What do you think?
Methinks there's unlikely to be stacks of us in one area. And I think blogs are less well read than forums, so I am not sure how many people will read this.
For me I would probably go if it was local, but otherwise not. I prefer a pangendered environment usually, being pansexual, it means I can take any of my partners.
*For the purposes of this question, by trans, I mean simply all self identified transgendered people. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender )

Please note. This is my blog, so if anyone comes here just to shit-stir, or ask unrelated questions about trans issues I will delete your replies and answer you in PM. If you have a question about trans issues, or gender specific events, or about my blog, please start your own blog about it, or send me a private memo.
I've not been involved in the recent forum fighting on this issue, so coming from a more neutral position, I think there's no harm in asking. I just don't think given the tension on the forum that most people would have been remotely interested in actually discussing the party in those circumstances, it took me two threads to get the guts to reply.

Aside from that I'd not be able to go to the party (living abroad!) I don't think I as someone who is in transition (call it trans if you want) would be wanting to go to a trans only party. While many people see having a trans-history (the long history going from one gender to another) as something to be proud of I tend to see my trans-history as something I'd want to leave far behind me. If anything at all, my goal is to be a woman physically so I can live as one and not to associate with a mid-gender somewhere in between my birth and goal gender. Wether or not I'd involve my to-be-removed part in a one-on-one experience stands alone of that. In a party it'd make at least me uncomfortable, I don't know what it does to other transsexuals. Perhaps transgenders who desire no SRS for play reasons would have a large interest though. A small gathering with trans-people can be nice to share stories and give eachother support but honnestly a play-party specifically for trans would possibly not do too well. I think that's more succesful amongst travestites perhaps but I can't speak for them ofcourse.
Though if this does find enough interest with people, then I hope it works out for those who are interested! Edited 4 Feb 09, 11:05 PM by Sara_86 |

Thanks for replying Sara Just in case it's not clear to anyone in general, I mean a BDSM play party for all transgendered people, not only people in transition.

I think it is a neat idea, but I also think Sara has a point. Personally, I would not go. Partly because I'm not attracted to othe transsexuals - as a general rule anyway. But also, the more I am becoming a woman, the less I want to be associated with my TS past. In a way, I feel like I'm out-growing it. Pen You say Ouch like it's a bad word. |

I agree with Sara, I would not be interested in going. I suspect most established post transition girls and boys would not really be up for it as they want to leave it behind. Hugs, Irene.

There was an interesting blog on FetLife yesterday regarding an article in a recent Daily Mail about [shock horror-heavens above-Lord save us] Tv's holding regular meetings in a parish hall @ Liss in Hampshire. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1132733/... So I would say that there's definitely a 'market' for it, it just needs someone enterprising enough to get their butt in action!!! Edit to add address ....

It does not hold much appeal for me, so I would not go out of my way. I too, prefer a pangendered environment. La Rouge I don't want to be anyones girlfriend, I want to be EVERYONES!... |

I prefer a wholly pan-peopled* environment - but if anyone wants to set up a niche munch/club/event then all power to them... I just wish that the people who do not identify as being in that niche would not plaster threads/posts with whinge about 'being excluded' 'discrimination' etc. *no, not the 1970's dance troupe. ** New photo competition! www.missnamio.com ** |

Sure wouldn't mind if I was in the right area at the right time. I'd like the option of bringing along partners though. I'm not sure a trans play party/event has to be about attraction to other trans people, but more about a positive play space. Without the "so what's your 'real' name" ever being an acceptable conversation point. Also the idea that it would be hopefully be free of those who would just see any and all trans as "just another kink"

It can still probably be alot of fun!
