If she is transgender or transexual that has nothing to do with being homosexual
in my humble opinion, it is totally different thing.
If you don't get it, you don't get it.
Was she being friendly or was she looking for sex?
Why does it matter what her voice sounded like, if she had obvious speech
impediment due to be partially deaf or another medical condtion would you be talking about this in same way?
I don't know personally it sounds like you're one of those people who have
friends who are like those people and all but.....
I don't know you but it sounds about not being homophobic but transphobic
and racist personally....
But most people see and judge others by specific traits like skin color, husky voices and penis, facial hair for men, soft, feminine voice, curves with right protrusions in and out female.
Not every woman has soft feminine non-husky voice, Not every Man has monotone, husky voice.
What if she had more masculine voice and was female due to hormonal condition?
Would it still matter? Or is it because she is African American and you're not use
to those type of people's voices so they must be really gay men not women?
If you didn't care about looking for special someone why does it matter what this person
was sound like if you don't have some agenda or prejudice you knowingly or unknowingly know about and want to promote?
Being transexual/transgender is medical or gender condition some may say even form of mental illness.
Homosexuality is sexual orientation.
People don't consider Homosexuals mentally ill any more, at least the medical community
doesn't any more officially.
This is two separate things. Get it it?



hey spark,
man, i honestly can't say enough that TG is all good in my world. i seriously am "going to bat for" our TG and gay community. many deep friends in this community. (and yes i do understand the difference between the two)

i was more speaking about purely "first interaction" as a completely "generic" male living in the US and my personal skills at calling human behavior in certain situations. look at it with a light eye.

my friend and i are still great friends in second life.

lets no judge too quickly here.

I get bothered when folks tell me I should not be using it and that LL needs to get rid of it
I haven't ever told anyone not to use voice in SL, and I've never seen anyone harassed for using voice. I've been harassed for NOT using it (I must be someone's alt, right, if I won't go on voice). I've even been hassled for saying "oh, sorry, I don't use voice, so I'll mosey off now" when I realized that the people being so quiet were "on voice".

At the very least LL needs to let people who aren't using voice see who IS using it. And the argument that the sim isn't able to pass that information on is purely nonsense, because if that was the case there wouldn't be any "voice gestures".
