I just finished the thread where you're getting in "trouble".
I'm completely agree with you on stories involving minors. The moment I see a character underage I have to stop reading.
I don't wish to censor anyone. As a friend suggested to me once,
maybe reading this type of story will provide a release for someone who otherwise might have no other outlet than to act out their fanatsy in the flesh. I think there is a strong possibility there is some truth in this suggestion. I admire your conviction on this matter.

Where we differ a little is on the matter of nc/consesual. In reality, of course I would never want to see anyone used sexually against their will. On the other hand, my own fantasies, nc plays a large role, but only with myself as the helpless heroine.
When I read tales that are nc, I imagine myself in the role of the nc bottom. The paradox lies in that while in a loving trusting D/S relationship (sigh, if there really is such thing, but a girl can dream) I would want my top to push my limits a bit further than I really desire, I'm equally certain I would not want to be forced into any kind of situation where I was forced to bend to the will of a stranger. Yet the fantasy of such still plays a part of my fantasy life.

All this said, I think it's appropriate on a site like this not to start nitpicking about any particular fetish. To me it seems, lol, too "American." We tend to be quick to say "ooooh, that is so sick!" about anything not vanilla. I think we'll all be better off sticking to what we like rather than putting down what another likes.

On to the topic of your pronoun use of s/he. Hmmm. I guess I brought that one upon myself with the moniker I chose as well as my refusal to identify with an either/or gender choice. If you use it as a "demeaning" term as a dom addressing a sub, then way cool. However, as transpeople face a tremendous amount of hate and violence in real life situations, I otherwise advise that "she" for mtf and "he" (not in quotes) for ftm are the proper and respectful pronouns. Simply, any person who is not transsexual has no more intelligent right to define who we are anymore than it would be appropriate for a white person to define what it means to be Native-American. I think one of the reasons we face so much virulence from non-transsexuals is that we all have the knowledge somewhere in the back of our minds of how our own (meaning everyone) gender choices have been ruthlessly taken from us by western culture from ealiest childhood. I am glad that you were able to acknowledge the courage it takes to live life on one's own terms in a gender-rigid society. Those who stigmatize us tend to do so in order to show how "normal" they are in an attempt to help hide their own secret stigmata. I say this from the perspective of my childhood. I had a stepfather ener into my life who literlly beat the feminine out of me. By the time I was 13, I myself would pick on any boy I deemed as being femine. Though I didn't realize it then, I now have the advantage of hindsight to aid me in realizing that I did what I did as a teen because I was angry that these boys hadn't "learned" what I was forced to learn about gender expresion. It's funn yfor me to look back upon my flight into hypermasculinity. I became a "tough guy and a bully in school. Then I went Special Forces in the military. But when I finished my enlistment I was left only with myself and it didn't take long to come to terms with who I really am. Oh my, I'm afraid I'm starting to rant. Ok then, enough said.

As to your question apropos being a "warrior": If I am it's not by choice. I would so much prefer being a kept, submissive domesticated sex-slave than to being a warrior. But while I can find short-term "playmates", the truth is that finding a long-term partner requires of them to be my equal in courage. Those who are attracted to women like myself, don't really need to have the same level of courage as we do as they don't have as much at stake. It's easier to hide who you are attracted to than it is to hide who you are.

So BB, why don't you send me an e-mail? I think I'd really enjoy chatting with you more in depth.
