Myself and a few other girls were meeting with a magazine photographer and a transsexual walked in. At first I wasn't sure, but then it became clear to me what was going on. I'm sure the photog didn't know, but I didn't tell him either. Do you feel like I should've dropped a dime on "her"?

Nope.  This is a case of mind your own business, I would say.  She got hired just like you did.

Maybe she got the job because she is who she is and there was no deception going on.

No! You should have dropped a few bucks on the photographer though.

what makes you think he didn't know? And even if he didn't know it's not your place to say anything. Why do you even make an issue out of this?

And there is a store that I pass from time to time "Coming Out of The Closet" for men. Just today the light turned red and I looked over to see a man putting the womens clothes that he had just bought into a very nice shopping bag.

I have been around Gay's but not sure how I would feel with a transexual, transvestite, cross dresser.

Did work with someone who got picked up and found out that the transvestite was better endowed than him. Sure glad that it was not me that it happened to.

As for photography as long as he/she does not try anything....

I've shot a tranny and a cross dresser before.  It was for their private portfolio.  I'd do it again also.

Not to advance stereotypes, but those trannies can dominate a catwalk.

I've photographed a bunch of all the voluntary genders at various clubs when I was working for the Union.   Take them for who they say they are and relax a little. 

No, if you'd ratted and the photographer knew, you'd look like an idiot. And if the photographer didn't know, then you'd look like a rat.  Live and let live.

I have photographed many pre op and post op transexuals, as well as crossdressers. They have all been a total blast. I did have one biological female get pissy at one at a shoot once for having better legs than she did,lol

If she was really good enough to fool the photographer, then I'd say she was probably good enough for the photo shoot. So what's the problem?

I don't think this even needed to be posted.
Transexuals just aren't a big deal anymore, and shouldn't be gossiped about.. just my opinion.

a person is a person
maybe they wanted to portray their feminine side
they don't have to show that there not who they are being

diversity is always good.

if a photographer can't tell.
it shouldn't matter
let em go and continue on with their work

Umm, if "she" was that good at it I wouldn't know she was a boy. The point is, the slot is for females. It's like seeing a man as a woman in Maxim or playboy... strange isn't it?
