T-girls & Birchplace pain

[TomTank]

Sorry, just a rant, hopefully in the right place as I couldn't see the old "Mark as Transexual" option.

I'm just getting a bit weary of 2 things on Birchplace:

1. No Boobs
So many of the girls do not have boobs.
It's never a deal breaker for me, because I have seen a few T-girls without boobs, who feel very feminine, and I've seen ones with boobs that don't click as being female.
However, these days 75% of those (mostly Brazillians) that look decent don't have boobs, and it really smacks of gay guys pretending to be T-girls.

2. Video Call / Content SPs
When I'm browsing through their various locations I can get to, I will see a few that perk my interest, but so many of them are nowhere near my location, and just advertising video content.
Surely BP could create a separate section for video content, and stop clogging up the regional sections?

ah thank you ..... I'd seen there were discussion posts there, but thought they were just filtered in somehow, and didn't realise you could post there .....

Not that I was looking at TS escorts on Birchplace just now  but I was surprised it looked like no age verification stuff. All looked still viewable.

Yes quite a few gay guys who just crossdress and don't take hormones.
There's obviously a market for them so I guess it works.
Some sell video content on birchplace when they are out of country to keep their profile active.

[DastardlyDick]

Boobs (or the lack of) may depend on how much hormone treatment they've done/are doing - too many and it may stop you getting an erection, which could limit your appeal to punters, and it's probably easier to have bolt ons done.

I see unlike other sites nothings coming up about age verification either

This fucking thing annoys me, you open up your city go like "WOAH FINALLY SOMETHING GOOD", you open their profile and its just "video call/onlyfans advertising" profiles

yep, exactly that .... I did have a look to see if I could message BP admin about it, but didn't find a way to contact them

Birchplace is becoming a joke. When I search escorts in Derby I expect to see escorts in Derby, this is what I actually get:

Derby 5 + video only
Nottingham 1 + video only
Birmingham 6
Leicester 4
Walsall 1
Sheffield 1
Norwich 1 video only
Burton 2
Cambridge 1
Liverpool 1 video only
Manchester 1 video only – Shyne, who only does video, has 6 different profiles in different areas
Doncaster 1 video only
Bradford 1
Bristol 1
Stockport 1
Swindon 1 + the one in Manchester
York 1 video only

5 of 32 profiles or 16% are escorts in Derby.

None of the video only should be there, no one outside EM, in fact I can search EM so they shouldn't be either.

[loola]

I fully agree that a few basic filters would make the world of difference here.

Yes, for some reason the categories are useless.
Best way seems to be set a fake GPS location on your phone and use the "near me" search.

[TomTank]

Really starting to piss me off.
And when you home in on the 5 out of 25 that are actually in your area and look decent, they are £200 an hour plus, and don't have boobs, so most likely gay guys with makeup ......

Instead of doing a search, have you tried this: at the top of the left side column (list of cities) you can click “All Cities” and then “Nearby”. Your browser will prompt you to share your location.

that is an improvement, although sharing my location didn't work, but it did give me a longer list of cities that seems to filter out the video calls

And then of that 5 that you narrow it down to 3 don't answer the phone, one isn't available and you spot a bad review for the other 

Used to be very easy to punt a TS in manchester any day of the week. Its hard work now. I don't think there are the quality of fixed resident girls there once was.
I don't think the calibre and quantity of tourers is what it once was either.

Shit everywhere but London, as most TS can go and charge x2 the price in London

Is this still working for anyone as it just redirects me back to the original page now, but used to work a week ago.

I totally disagree! I get to meet some fantastic girls outside of London - loads of top quality SPs who choose not to work in the capital even though many of them could command twice what they charge if they did so. Just check out my reviews....its all about being selective - I shall be taking a punt on another one in Northampton this afternoon.....Zahara Hernan.

my initial click doesn't work, just lists random girls, but has a more detailed list of towns - when you click on one it gives you them in that town without loads of video call listings.
However, this is actually no different than typing a town name in the search box.

Its 100% not as easy as it once was.
Numerous factors.

[Kage4Real]

There should be a filter for price and honestly just kick everyone off their saying "video only" and selling video content

Well, I've been at this game a long time and from my perspective nothing has really changed, at least not in the locations where I punt (there are a number of towns/cities which attract SPs within about an hour of me). I don't find it anymore difficult to hook up with top tier TS escorts than I ever did - actually I find myself visiting London (where the choice is greater than it ever was) far less frequently than I did in the past, which is probably because, if anything, TS punting has in fact improved in the provinces!

[Chris1990mcr]

I think Manchester isn’t the hot spot it once was now they tend to visit many more towns across the north of the uk and midlands.

You wouldn’t have previously had a choice in Warrington or St Helens or Wigan for example.

They used to be regulars who lived in the city now I can’t think of any in Manchester I would want to see.

And the tourers used to use hotels which I always liked and still do to a degree. I guess serviced apartments and air b n b wasn’t a thing then.

The ‘nearby’ feature has completely stopped working for me now also. Annoying!

Good to know it isn't just me, I've been playing with browser settings to see if I changed anything.

[TomTank]

gone nuts for me now .... I can't see any cities or nearby me at all

[JontyR]

yep... the sidebar appears to have gone missing. Birchplace has had previous with updates being badly applied and invariably returning to the previous version in a couple of days.

In the meantime here is a handy hint...

External Link/Members Only  spaces are replaced by a "-" in any entry in the latter part of the webaddress.

[Chris1990mcr]

Usually when updating a website its to enhance and make it slicker, more user friendly and easier to navigate.

This is borderline unuseable, especially given how bad the search bar is.

[Johnny Utah]

Looks like it has returned to normal now, I can see sidebar.

I wish BP would make the price field mandatory too, having to message only to have to wait to be told its a ridiculous hourly price is annoying!

[g510]

Still seeing plenty of "video call" TS profiles, would be great to have it's own category something many have suggested.

On another topic have there been any posts discussing reliable British TS providers? Apart from scouring through reviews or would be great to have one space to discuss them.

How can you have a section for something that isn't allowed on the site? 

17 Dogging / Swinging / Webcamming / Phone Chat / Porn
Not Allowed.

I'm not that keen on T-girls but I am puzzled as to why anyone would pay for content when oceans of porn are available .

Someone said once- if you have to ask for a price, then you can’t afford it.

Where I live is a desert for trans too. The odd tourer, but you just get that conveyor belt feeling. 

[Hazz9902]

Agree
Check Birmingham every now and then and it’s absolute dire - not even anyone you’d consider a second choice option - just ones that do not interest you whatsoever. There used to be regulars or those passingbl through who were absolute stunners and you couldn’t wait to see and now just dross

[adrianm758]

Both birchplace and especially adultwork have been so bad for so long I’m seriously thinking there’s an opening for a new platform to come along.

Probably hard to break that network effect though , especially with adultwork.

[ptt67]

It would seem that BP have banned photos of cocks in the SPs adverts - virtually none to be seen now, except for in some profile videos. Does anyone have confirmation of this or know what is going on? Is it (presumably) linked to age verification now required by any sites hosting porn?

[TomTank]

removing the cock photos is fair enough with the new rules, but they really need to sort the other stuff out

[ptt67]

The problem is that many of us make our decisions about who to see based on cock pics as well as their looks - especially as dimensions they give are notoriously exaggerated! In my case I shall resort to asking for cock pics (ones which include face) at the enquiry stage

Wonder what the response will be to this request 

It was a deal breaker often but also used to be more suss of those who didn’t have cock pictures incase they were fake pictures/profiles but that’s out the window now too

[SonofAJohn]

Trans escorts you need their Instagram, un-photoshopped pictures and videos.
Video call at enquiry stage is important or else you could get an unfortunate surprise when the door opens!

Actually I have seldom found it to be a problem, especially with girls who claim to be on the larger side. If they have been used to showing cock pics on their BP adverts then they won't generally mind sending some privately.....if they do mind then I shall simply move on
