Another reason why the labeling theory may apply is because these men have-labeled themselves as bisexual or queer, but also wish to conform to the monogamous culture we have in the US. In order to do this, many feel that they must find the "best of both worlds", so they can have "gay sex", and yet still be with a woman.

The last part of the labeling theory I'd like to discuss is the treatment of myself by these men. During the past 2 months of research, I have been called everything from a "Shemale" to a "t-girl" to "he-she", as well as some unsavory names as well. The terms she-male and t-girl are usually used in the adult entertainment industry. If one were to do an Internet search on shemale, there would be tens of thousands of different shemale sex sites, all of which show these ultra-enhanced women with penises in various states of sexual activity. For most tranny chasers, this is the only knowledge they have of transgendered people, and as such may think that every trans-woman is a raving sex addict. Men see women on a daily basis, but transsexuals are much more rare, and it's likely that if a man did meet one, he was unaware of it. The man labels me a shemale, and thusly expects me to be a sex-addict. Doing some talks with transsexual women who were once (or still are) in the adult industry, they have the same basic thing to say about it that most genetic women I've spoken to do. It's all about the money. The hormones the doctors put us on to grow breasts also shrink our penises to be useless sexually, and our sex drives change to be less aggressive, much like natural born women normally have.

The social controls regarding tranny chasers are, in my experience, not very sensitive to the transgendered. A good example of this would be the story of Barry Winchell and Calpernia Addams. Winchell was a young soldier who started a relationship with Ms. Addams, a transgendered performer. When his fellow troops got wind of his relationship, he was murdered.
