I tried to contact him. Apparently one post was mine and the other didn't have a changed quote from me.
I double checked.

There's a category for Trans on CM profiles.

I see absolutely no reason why transgendered people should not list themselves as transgendered.

Maybe because they don't see themselves that way....

Transgendered women see themselves as women.

Transgendered people believe they have the gender of one brain trapped in the body of another.

Furries believe they have the spirit of one animal trapped in the body of another.

Hell I've seen people on the internet who believe they're fairies and elves and shit. But if they got ear surgery and tattooed wings I wouldn't be all "oh ok you're really an elf now cool."

Edited to add - I don't really care how people choose to self-identify, that's their own business, but I think that self identity shouldn't automatically be considered reality.

Like...if you look at an anorexic and she says "oh I am so fat" you don't accept her self-identity as a fat person, you say stfu you're 80 pounds and you're probably going to die.

So if you look at a guy and he says "oh I am a woman" why is that somehow more valid than the person who self-identifies as fat or a fox or whatever else is contradicted by physical reality?

Oh, this is going to be good.

I was taught early in my career never to ... make up numbers. You say that there are 25 malesubs for every female Dominant, and that you have been forced to see over a hundred male profiles who misidentified as female. You also claim that males have a desperate need to be selected while females coolly pick their choice from the ravening hordes baying at their feet. Obviously, you never got trained to substantiate things the way I had.

I am not in any big hurry to find that one right Lady but I feel I make a valid complaint, as only those searching for a dominant female will relate to from experience.

Hmm that's true...I suppose post-op transgendered people can be legally recognized as the sex they switched to. But then again there's no legal "transgender" sex classification at all, but there is one on CM.

I don't know, while I do think it's very sad that they were born with a gender identity disorder, I can't see transgendered people as anything other than transgendered.

I mean if I listed myself as a 22 year old who weighed 120 lb, I doubt people would be okay with it because I "see myself" as younger and hotter than I really am.

All of us watching, and wishing we'd find it;

I've noticed, you're watching too.

Someday you'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and you.

Keep believing, keep pretending
We've done just what we set out to do.
Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you.

And you obviously believe that the "majority dominant male" are all so twuly dominant and describe themselves perfectly who they are right

Failing to disclose certain things prior to a relationship would make trust impossible but that's very different than showing up in a CM search category where profiles can be easily ignored.

It must have been traumatic for the OP to have met a Domme, established trust with her, and then had his hopes dashed when he found out she had undergone sexual reassignment surgery and didn't tell him about it.

Time heals even if its happened more than once. Maybe its karma or something.

Not going to stick My neck out on that one. 

My thanks to angelika for providing the link to the documentary.  It was very interesting.

Submissive males are outnumbered by those men who fancy themselves as dominant as well. So the traditional fem-sub and male-dom can throw all the stones they want but they don't have to worry about limited options.

You TRULY haven't got a clue with what folks we have to put up as well, with folks who pretend to be Dominant

Unless it went unmentioned, I don't think that was the issue.  The original was the complaint that TG Dominants were listing themselves as 'female'.  I didn't see where the OP met anybody.  Maybe I should check the profile for further information.
