I'm a white transsexual woman who isn't interested in sex with anyone. I'm a decent person who goes to fundamentalist churches and I oppose all sexual sins. I keep to myself and mind my own business as all people should. Apparently, that isn't good enough. Just tonight, for no reason, a Black man yelled gay male slurs at me. I'm not sexually active. If I ever do that, it will never be until after surgery and heterosexual marriage. My friends tell me that they've never thought of me as anything but a woman, but if that is the case then why do such people of color read me and harass me? I'm hardly ever read by people of my own race.
What gets me is that they're even looking at members of my race in a sexual manner. If they weren't out trying to look for White women for sexual reasons, they'd have never noticed me, now would they? Besides, why are people like this so arrogant as to think they have a right to judge Whites for what we do in OUR own culture?

I should not have to add this, but I will.
1. The only drugs I take are prescribed medications.
2. I'm a staunch conservative and a registered Republican.
3. I wasn't born a man, but rather a woman with a rare medical condition. A person isn't born a woman or man, but male or female. It's very possible for a woman to be wrongly born with male parts or for a man to be wrongly born with female parts.
4. In my area, it IS only the Blacks who do this, and mainly just men. White males don't go out of their way to pursue or start anything with Black TSs, they tend to avoid them.
5. Most people, if they are honest, are racist to some degree. It's the hesitance to talk about racial matters that fosters racism.
6. This is very common. Ask this question among any group of TSs and they will tell you how they're 10 times more likely to be harassed by people of color. Even Black TSs who are members of Yahoo! Groups I host report this.
