Anyone else feel strange with the influx of TS reviews?

[DOUGLAS56]

LOOL mate, I forever swerve it I dont click it and dont even want to know what they are doing. Good thing they put TS in review title. Each to their own

[king tarzan]

If you want to suck and fuck a bloke in a frock crack on 
But don’t ever deny you are bi or gay 

sum it up 100% PERFECTLY 

[claretandblue]

To myself  and my friends TS it's just gay.
Simple as that...

Hope they review elsewhere to be honest..

you friends? dont be daft 

[Kev40ish]

It’s alright they pass his £20 friends test

[blackjack1]

Don't bother me, do your thing fellas long as TS is in bold in the tittle  .

However if the review page starts having 20+ TS reviews then that's a bit too much 

Also don't comment on WG reviews if you fuck dudes please. One fella felt to give his opinion on a WG appearance when all his review were TS, WTF   

Don't like the massage reviews either, they're annoying TBH...

A filter option would be great, keep every1 happy

[Hotdogboy88]

Admin has agreed to it and seems to be working pretty well at the moment. I’m more than comfortable with myself and respect that people have different views from mine. X amount of years ago my views were very similar. I don’t take offence or get upset if I’m called gay or bi. It’s all good it’s just a label that’s been put on me already my with many others. 

[Heph]

I'd much prefer it if there was a discrete sandpit for the TS crew to play in.

I don't want to use the new filter because it's essential to be kept aware of those who are passing themselves off as women.

[Hotdogboy88]

Dude, I ignore most but one review I clicked on the TS had a cock...really doubt there would be any doubt about gender. This is completely different to post ops not advertising as post op and deceiving punters.

This made me laugh. “But one ts review I clicked on “. Sounds like the type of faggot thing I would have said in my past. Very similar to I was having a shower I slipped and the cucumber went up by arse. Honest doctor it’s the only time it’s happened.

Absolutely priceless.

You right always worth keeping an eye on what you not interested in. 

[Hotdogboy88]

On another thread we had hotdog88 waxing lyrical about having a cock jammed down his throat and spunking over his face, yesterday we had what i assume was the first post from a lesbian about receiving services. I tell you by 18 months time men with a penis looking for women with a vagina will be relegated to a subsection of other topics.

Thanks for the shout out. 

[Heph]

You're right. Always worth keeping an eye on what you're not interested in.

Yes it is: it's precisely why we have big red text for bad reviews and to indicate people we should avoid. Most of us consider negative reviews more valuable intelligence than positive ones - so that we can avoid scammers, Bait & Switchers, idiots and poor service.

If a review identifies a WG passing-off any aspect of her service, I want to know. Deceitful marketing is an excellent indicator of dishonesty and poor service. If it is a TS passing off as a non-medically intervened woman, I'd also want to know. Capiche?

Keep telling yourself self that fella.

Is it a massive problem?? I’ve never encountered it in my punting life.

[Heph]

Is it a massive problem?? I’ve never encountered it in my punting life.

The title of the thread refers to the recent influx of TS reviews: until quite recently there were relatively uncommon. There are now more disguised TS profiles appearing in the (nb) Straight section of AW, where formerly, they were fewer. Unsurprisingly there has been a correlated  increase in UKP reports where the punter only discovered the true situation on arrival, or afterwards, and, in many cases, they have made it clear they had not wished to engage a TS.  These are three connected and unwelcome trends.

I take no issue with this particular taste of yours, but I also have no desire to waste my time reading profiles that cannot be honest about this basic matter. Any TS wishing to advertise themselves, and the Johns who wish to find them, should do so transparently.

[Hotdogboy88]

I get all that but if they’re advertising as females they be in the straight section when flagged up as post op. The punter is surely not going to review them in the tranny section surely?? Why would he want to warn us tranny lovers that she’s a tranny??

On a side note I’ve never had a post op before. Not sure why.

Could you link us one of these threads please??

A review of an unexpected and unwelcome TS encounter would appear in the Straight section, to out the transgressor and highlight the B&S / misrepresentation to other members. I would want to see that, as an aid to help me avoid similar calamity.

On the other hand, a reviewer who had actively sought out a TS would naturally post their review, positive, neutral or negative, in that dedicated TS section. An unexpected but positive encounter would also be a natural fit there. Since these would be located in the TS section, TS lovers would easily find them, and I, having no interest in them whatsoever, would be blissfully unaware of them.

Ok. I don’t get it.  I’m pretty sure you enjoy reading the tranny section. Puts a bit of lead in the pencil.    I’m just playing with you. The more coverage it gets my  straight guys the better. Tranny escort are a fucking nightmare sometimes

Any one link to a thread of these many  fraudster tranny’s???

[Heph]

Ok. I don’t get it.

It's perfectly simple: re-read it.
* A tranny playpit for the fans.
* Unwelcome B&S encounters (ie only negatives) apppear as normal, in the the straight section. As might any general discussion which might happen to touch on the matter, like this thread.

Spend your own time looking up the passing-off cases; there are plenty to find. I've detained myself with this enough.

He's butthurt and intentionally trying to twist things.

Adding the category Tranny to that thread so that thread will disappear for me...

Not at all. Just don’t think it’s a thing. Anyone who hoping to see a gg who gets tricked into a tranny is going to let the world know if they the punter who shares. And they let people know of the evil at work in the straight section. It be counter productive to leave a warning thread of trannies in a tranny lovers section. 

There’s not logic behind it. Thinking about it there’s not logic behind my posts as I’m happy from all reviews to be for everyone to read.

It’s quite the mine field of people having to read things they don’t want to. I must be one of the few that can just ignore what doesn’t interest me. I don’t watch gay porn on porn sites even though it’s there in front of me. I just click on what interests me.

It’s simples I

Maybe because you acted selfishly... this is clearly not a TS thread but one where regular punters are discussing the recent influx of TS reviews

[Heph]

Quite: this discussion of the subject clearly belonged to the 'straight' boards.

[magnetico]

selfishly

Sure mate, categorising threads is "selfish" 

[InstaPunt]

Sure mate, categorising threads is "selfish" 

This is a general discussion thread.. most people can figure that out. Something belonging in the TS category would be something that TS fans post and want to talk about.

Adding the category Tranny to that thread so that thread will disappear for me... 

So  yes, selfishly and inaccurately tried to move a thread.

[magnetico]

You win, this is not a thread about transsexuality at all.

And yes I "moved" this thread to "selfishly" make it appear as well in the transsexuals category https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?action=categories;name=transsexual
I'm sure that the tranny-lovers were enraged to see that thread in their transsexuals category and I'm sorry for that error.

All good now?

I'm not upbraiding you Magnetico, but that is disingenuous. If it were for and only of interest to the niche-interest group, then it would fit better in the Tranny section. But, as the title explains, it's a thread asking predominantly hetero punters how they feel about the relatively new development of reviews flooding in, on an explicitly non-homosexual board, about (arguably) non-hetero sex workers. It is about TS, rather than for TS & their fan-club. As such, it clearly belongs on the main board. If you don't wish to read it, simply don't, rather than moving it, irrespective of everyone else's views.

[Chorley]

I couldn't care less TBH. The scene isn't my cup of tea, but this place is big enough for everyone and Admin has added a filter option for those who aren't interested. 

[magnetico]

You don't get that it's not a move, the thread is still here, under "London" .
Not sure where that idea that threads are being moved around came from, sounds disingenuous. Nothing moved.

The categories are allowing to specific interests to be able to spot quickly anything related to that category by going to the two links on the homepage.

For example if you're into massages, you can go to the Massage filter and see all the discussions about massages.
I think that it's great as you'll be able to see in one place all the discussions about massages which are scattered all around the board.

I'm not looking for a fight, just trying to get everyone on the same page. 
Admin may be able to confirm to you that it's how it has been setup.

[jama2299]

Don't see what the big deal is. As long as the thread is clearly signposted then what's the problem? If you don't like it then don't click on it, problem solved

[Laney08]

To each his own and not judging what people do, but just wondering if any of the other long timers feel strange going on reviews page and seeing 3-4 reviews marked as TS, suppose it’s just this place used to feel like a proper straight lads club so feels odd seeing TS reviews becoming so common.

Totally agree. Think admin has come up with a good way of managing it though and do think UKP should be home for punters of all flavours, to an extent.

I think things are changing in society. Ideas of sex, masculinity and what it means to be straight is being fucked around generally.

Yes, the TS threads are more than in the past but I think it's also good to be aware. With the reviews come the warnings in other threads of stealth-TS girls - there's some TS warnings on here that have probably saved a few punters from some big mistakes. As I've said before it's getting to a point now when unless she's got a kid or can prove she's got ovaries I get my doubts.

[bristolqwerty]

Live and let live. 
Good system. 
Some ”Intetesting reads”.
Since HH’s pulled their review section isn’t it right to offer TS punters a way to verify safe and honest Service providers too? From what I can fathom lots seem highly strung, erratic, drugged up and psychotic (SP not punters  :sarcastic
Hate to see any fellow punter robbed, assaulted or simply denied services offered.
