It wasn't that. It was the fact that she used to be a prostitute. I don't think I ever heard her mention that on the show. |

The only person who claims that Oprah was a prostitute, is Kitty Kelly, and she is trying to sell books, not tell the truth. Becca |

I'm not sure which book I read that said this. But it wasn't a recent one. |

They are so into dressing and acting as women that they want to take it to the point of being legally recognized as women, though they don't really want to sacrifice their penis, because that's not the point of their fetish. Their makeup, dress, and mannerisms are exaggeratedly feminine - based on what they think being female is about, not based on what it is for the average woman. They're not interested in being just an average woman - they want to be the va-va-voom woman you only see in movies and tv (and sometimes working the street corners). And since they're still really heterosexual guys at heart, they want to still have sex with women, just while dressing and acting as they think women do. |

And > since they're still really heterosexual guys at heart, they want to still > have sex with women, just while dressing and acting as they think women > do. I believe you are right. I have spoken to someone online and I think he/she fits that profile. I also know of a case of a guy who lived in Seattle who had started to go through the procedure. Was taking hormones and all. But ran low on funds so worked as a prostitute. He then discovered that there was such a market for heshes that he had decided (at that point anyway) to keep on like that. I did not know this guy personally. I just happened to be in a restaurant with some friends when he came in. He was dressed as a woman. He did look nice as a woman but he was so tall that he had to duck to get in the door. As we turned around to look, my one friend whispered, "Don't look! I'll tell you later." Turned out that this guy was in one of his college classes and had been telling everyone all of this stuff. That is how my friend knew of it. But my friend also thought that this guy had a crush on him and he just wasn't interested which is why he didn't want to be noticed. |
