This is a Man's World (Part 2 of a series on Transvestite Dating scheduled for Current Writings 2005)

2. The illusion is broken when a man ask a woman about her genitalia, before the first date.

I joked that courtship among transvestites and their admirers is something akin to a medical examination: "Are you on hormones?" "Do you have any implants?" "Have you had any surgery?" "Are you full time?"

It's a catch-22 unfortunately. It would be a grand waste of time to do all that wining and dining only to lead up to a main course with a missing ingredient. Oktoberfest would not be oktoberfest without the bratwurst.

On the other hand No proper girl...I REPEAT...NO PROPER GIRL...ever freely talks about her genitals to strangers online. Heavens, it's already considered poor taste to ask a girl to reveal her weight, and you guys want to see the blueprint for the plumbing to the whole estate?

Are you even licensed?

Guys, if you want to ask us whether it's an innie or outey, then don't complain if we do decide to let one rip in the middle of the third quarter, and high five your buddies (who are over to see the game) with such force that they tip over the keg and crash into the plasma tv. Because anyway you dress it, the moment you ask a girl about her body parts before the first date, the illusion is broken and it ceases being about a man and a woman: It becomes just two guys talking about sex.
