Alas, the main punter* sites are appallingly transphobic and there is nothing you could have done that would have made any difference.

Personally, I think it says a lot about their issues.

I agree, but I think Punterlink ought to be more upfront about it - I have just looked through all the rules for submitting an escort ad myself and I couldn't find anything either. Very unfair.

Strike me down and call me a feminazi, but I do believe Tucker Max should be spayed.

Hahaha I actually found that to be hilarious reading. I LOVE freaking out straight guys and it's funny imagining what is going on in their heads...

I found it hilarious too, but I am laughing at him, not with him... and there are men who do the latter.

Is the fact that the 'film of the book' flopped very badly any consolation? The UK release looks to have been postponed as a result too.

Mmmh badmouthing the site to clients seems a waste of your energy and could be counterproductive as some people wrongly assume you are too much trouble and shy away from booking you.  What I am trying to say is that many clients really don?t want to get embroiled in any on/off board issues and it would detract from your qualities.  Or you get a group of people that thrive on stirring behind the scene.  For all it is worth right now Punterlink is struggling with a forum dead in the water plagued by spammers.  So I am not sure how much of a loss it would really be that you cannot advertise there. 

Maybe an option would be to actually turn the situation around into something positive ? i.e. explore the possibility of setting up a directory that positively embraces TS escorts yourself.  So instead of either resigning yourself to being discriminated against by many directories, or using some subterfuge which might actually cause yourself problems with guys feeling that you mislead them with a profile on there or wasting your time with raging against the injustice why not stick two cyber fingers up to them and perhaps try and create a space where you can make a difference?   I have no idea if there are any boards/directories already or what the demand is like but I am sure many gents have a secret or not so secret passion for TS escorts.  Perhaps you could also have a more gay or TV friendly environment too as again there appears to be more limited advertising resources.  Years ago it seems if you believed agencies and many directories there was no demand for BBW escorts ? some adventurous ladies founded Pretty Big Escorts with resounding success as there are many guys who adore bigger ladies.  I get a lot of my work through that site.  Just a thought and maybe there are already too many places and the market is too saturated.  But the fact that you are seeking places to advertise makes me think there is some untapped potential.           

Hi Honey, no I wasn't thinking of whispering into clients ears "Punter site are s***" over and over I'm much more subtle than that. "I am the weaver" (said while delicately intertwining fingers in a Svengaliesque sort of way) lol. I have to admit that while not happy about any sort of trans or homophobia I'm not loosing sleep over it. It does make me a bit angry when I talk to other girls and they appear to be getting quite a bit of work from the sites. I have to qualify this by saying that if the 'punters' posting on their boards are anything to go by they're not the sort of clients I want. I'm most definitely not short of work. Obviously I have no experience of the 'punter' sites but if they're anything like AW as I said before they're not the sort of clients I want.

There are a lot of dedicated TV/TS directories and I think I have them pretty well covered. If I wasn't a complete idiot where technology is concerned I would consider setting up my own. You'd never think I used to be a professional sound engineer and now I struggle with my mobile  I don't want to come over as a whinger as I'm very happy and enjoy what I am and what I do, it's just my hackles tend to go up when I smell a discriminatory rat. In the past I have faced a lot of discrimination as you can imagine due to me sexuality and gender but surprisingly little now. As Joey points out 99.9% of my clients would swear they're straight even in a lie detector test and quite a few of them see born girls who escort or are married . Tammy while checking things were ok overheard a guy say to me "I couldn't do that with a bloke!"  . She nearly fell down the stairs trying to hold back the giggles  By April this year I will be legally female anyway!

Even though I'm not a particularly litigious person the suggestion of filing  a law suit does appeal (I've never sued anyone before  ) but in the UK although the LGBT community is protected in the workplace our gutless government chickened out when it came to protecting transsexuals from discrimination regarding the provision of goods and services.  It's only a matter of time though, rubs hands together in anticipation of all manner class actions 

I'll come clean, I broke two nails this week so have been in a dead stropy mood. As I said earlier I don't let stuff like this get me down.
