An Appreciation Part 2

The essence of men, therefore, is to fuck, and, thereby, to deliver the seed by which a woman is impregnated. This essential difference between men and women remains even when procreation is seen as alternative and secondary to pleasure as the purpose of heterosexual sex.

However, this distinction, fundamental as it is, does not apply between males and shemales, because shemales, lacking vaginas, are not really women at all; at best, they are wannabe women, or artificial, man-made women, flesh-and-blood Galateas. Therefore, although heterosexual sex can end in pregnancy, homosexual sex between a male and a shemale cannot.
Denied the essential attribute of womanhood, a shemale's own womanhood is repudiated, and she is shown to be "male," and not "she," after all, appearances to the contrary, which is why, of course, shemales are grouped among gays. Their sexuality, like their identity, is based upon pretense, their own and society's, that they are truly women, despite the technological (chemical and surgical) and the cultural (learned) means of their supposed transformation into "women." To be a woman, one must be a woman born, not made. When it comes to the ultimate test of womanhood, which is the ability to be not merely penetrated, but impregnated, shemales fail at being female. The pretense breaks down. They can be feminine, but they cannot be female. Gender, not sex, is allowed to them.

If, in the final analysis, shemales are not really "chicks with dicks" but are, rather, "dudes with boobs," their erotic appeal lies, perhaps, in their willingness to be regarded as women, rather than as men; in their casting off, so to speak, the mantle of masculinity in favor of the mantle of femininity; of their voluntary subjugation of themselves to the power and authority of men who, in a patriarchal society, rule, for, in doing so, they willingly, of their own accord, accept the meaning and valuation that are otherwise reserved by men for women.
