An Appreciation Part 2

For example, products of sexual liaisons between whites and blacks are regarded as "mulattos," "high yellows," or "blacks," but never as whites, just as the offspring of white and Native American, or Indian, couplings were considered to be "half breeds" or "Indians," but never whites. The same tendency is discernable in characterizing shemales as female despite their lack of vaginas and their possession of penises and testicles. This characterization clearly marks shemales (like females) as being inferior to males. Again, in a patriarchal society, men rule, and they determine, consequently, what meaning and value both they and others shall have. Male is the normative model; females, genetic and man-made, are aberrations—inferior, weaker pale imitations of men.

With procreation denied them, shemales are useful to men in another way. They are vehicles by which men exhibit their strength, power, virility, dominance, and masculinity, because only one partner may enter the other, and, of course, in sex, penetration has long signified superiority because, between male and female partners, it is the male who penetrates and the inferior, weaker, aberrational female (or shemale) who is penetrated.

To penetrate a person with a penis, even one who has breasts and is considered to be feminine, if not exactly female, is to deny him (or "her") the natural use of his own penis as a penetrating, impregnating organ—in other words, it is not only to feminize him, but also to neuter, or unman, him. Taking the remnant of a man's masculinity is a conquest of him by means of a symbolic castration—even when, as a shemale, he (or "she") is already regarded as feminine. For men who seek empowerment (or the seal of empowerment), anal sex with a man-made woman is sexy, indeed.

Women are supposed to be fucked. The very essence of being a woman is to be fucked, and not only fucked but transformed by being fucked, that is, to be made pregnant, so that her belly swells with child, and she becomes a mother (and not any longer merely a lover).
