Hey guys, gals and all between Very Happy

Its been quite some time now since I suggested/asked that Profile Heaven give the transgender community their own gender and sexuality choice and after much umming and aaahing and speaking with TG members on the site, they agreed to do just that Smile

You can now register as a member of the free profile site in your own gender and with your of sexuality choice! One can finally feel part of a larger community on the internet without having to choose between commonly accepted genders Razz so go sign up and see what you think, it can be very fun, and do ignore any idiots or report them, the site is now 100% tg tollerant and wont allow abuse Very Happy

www.profileheaven.com

Hope this helps some people feel a little more freedom and comfort Very Happy

JJ xxx

Hey, I'd just like to add, as JJ said we're 100% behind Tg users and hope to make the site enjoyabe for Tg users.
As such if you join now and enter "welcome" in the promocode part. As well as select the TG option, you'll get upgraded for a full year free Smile

This allows you to upload loads more pictures and see censored images. You can also have custom profiles, and if you choose can make them private so only people you add can view them and contact you. Or you can choose to restrict certain images only.

Best Wishes
Jules Smile

Did somebody mention "free"?

These kinda sites make insane amounts of money from banner adverts, I know one site where the owner makes in excess of £10'000 per week. Hence my refusal to pay for such services when I have to pay subscription fee's before I've seen anything of the site.

That said.... Free is free and i'll try anything once if it's free.... Laughing

We don't make anything like that lol. In fact our owner is really strict about keeping costs down for users. But yeah totally free. Just sign up and enter welcome as the promo code Razz

Going to go against the whole cheery mood here and ask is TG really a gender? I mean I know andro is and should be an option but as far as I know transsexuals like to be considered as male or female and crossdressers are their birth gender. Just a thought.

Some people might want to chose TG as a gender and can. Some people might want to pick their target gender and can. Don't know if TG is a gender or not tho, but I'm sure the dictionary police are too busy dealing with people's text messages to worry about this Wink I'm not trying to be confrontational by the way, just a joke Wink

I identify my gender as -somewhere- along the trans spectrum, so yes. Some do.

I personally consider myself as transexual and I think there is a difference between transexual and andro. The diff I feel is that I consider myself to be entirely feminine, however I have no issue with my genitalia, where as if one feels one is androgynous, then often one feels neither entirely feminine or entirely male but a bit of both, if that makes sense.

I think if one is wanting to go the whole hog and change gender, thats fine, but I believe in a whole slider of genders between the extremes known as male and female, not just the 2 commonly accepted genders and I know many other people feel the same Smile

Maybe I am just stuck on the whole grammatically correct thing. I mean "trans" kind of shows sign of some switching over which some people might not even do even if they seem to fall under that name. I guess it does make things a little clearer to people viewing the profile than something like "just me".

Well I think the only other words to describe what I feel I am are vulgar, such as: 'Shamale' 'Chick with a dick' 'Ladyboy' etc. Transexual covers that and is a far less offensive term, to me at least. Those other terms are all used in porn context and so I dont really want them associated with me.

the term transgender is a very 'considered' term

in that it doesnt flow off the tongue that easily

so for someone to spray paint transgender twat on a wall is slightly educated Wink

shemale chick with dick and tranny are all the equivilent of n*gger paki slut slag and so on

time they were moved out of our lexicon - we must lead by example Smile

I identify as 'EB', "Evil Bitch Razz ! Seriously though, it's good that you got the site to add the extra options. It's definately a step forward.

while i identify as a gay male, i still identify as transgendered too, as i feel between genders right now rather than totally one or the other. so being able to click TG is quite nice.
