As you can see from my signature thingy I have an ad on here. In the short time I have been a member I have recieved a few (not many) responses to my ad... 2 from guys, and 2 from girls.
However I recently recieved a response from someone and I'm feeling a raft of emotions, some of which surprised and shocked me.
The respondant sent me a mail with a picture... a rather attractive looking lady with several physical attributes I would consider important. The mail was well written and contained the following text...
I enjoy socialising with my friends, clubbing, music (especially Country and Western), long walks, romantic dinners and adventurous apres meal sex...
If this appeals then drop me a line and say hi...
Danielle...
P.S. I feel it's important to tell you, but I am a pre-op transexual.
Now, I had thought I was open minded, that I was a well informed and well rounded individual... but reading the mail made my stomach turn and I found it hard not to write back with some pretty hurtful comments.
At first I thought it was something in my ad, maybe the text or even my photos would lead someone to the conclusion that I was into that sort of thing. I was panicking that maybe others saw me that way and had already pre-judged me as that sort of person without me even knowing...
So, I want some help and advice from the people at SH...
Please, reread my ad... look at the pictures an be honest with me...
Do I look like the sort of person who would enjoy Country and Western music?!
