Are you a sneaky tranny prostitute? if you are, then yes, we find you repulsive...otherwise...shut the bleep up....nobody cares, quit trying to make yourself the center of attention. @Sully, the world could care less what gender you are inside, or what you do with your body…..what we hate….sleeping with a “woman” only to find out it is a man.
