It's greatly overlooked.

I'm not a Tisa fan at all, and I didn't see the picture in question so I could be analocuting here (talking out of my ass), but from the descriptions of the pic, and the title, I'm guessing someone is working with some TG issues.

I've had a number of close TG friends over the years and I know that most people tend to dismiss the incredible amount of pain and angst that comes with gender dysphoria.

Yes, many TG people do find images of "she-males" distasteful and offensive when they are presented for the purpose of appealing to fetishistic types. We are talking about real people here, with a real problem, not a fairy tale chimera.

However, many also turn to that fetishistic expression as a means of validation.

I dunno. Just some thoughts.

Oh, and this anti-armpit hair thing? Where on earth did the notion come from that somehow women are suposed to only have bodyhair (and a very minimum at best) on their crotch? I am not a fan of this Hitler-moustache-pubes fad that has grown in the last 20 years. and I think pit hair can be very sexy. Kind of like a pubes preview.

That said: I still dissapprove (for all that's worth) of Tisa utilizing this forum to manipulate emotions and get attention.

Got a legitimate gripe with the mods for deleting your image? Take it up with them first. Don't try to cause dissention here just because you disagree with them.

If I'm having a party at my place and I invite guests (and this IS their place, and we ARE guests) and one of them starts bitching about me and complaining in general and trying to make the other guests think I'm an asshole, I'm going to tell them to shut the fuck up or get the fuck out.
