If it looks like a girl...
A friend put me on to another one today, the first for a while.
Epigoth's profile claims "I'm an 18 year old GUY from the UK". And so commenters are saying stuff along the lines of "OMG I can't believe you're not a genetic girl! You look so femme!"
To those people I say, remember the famous Duck Test...
"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."




I've heard a few too many cases of people having their photos 'borrowed' and misattributed, re-captioned, doctored or otherwise misused. (By Transformation in their promotional material, f'instance.)
How's a real girl going to feel about having her likeness copied and described as a tranny? Not that I know anything about Epigoth, but it's happening all too often.
1) Make a note of the Noob.
2) Look them up in about six months time.
Usually, one of three things will have happened:
1) Pictures will have dried up because they've run out of source material to steal.
2) The account has been deleted by Flickr-pol.
3) They're still active and consistent; in which case, maybe, just maybe...
There was Polar Rose which supposed to be a face recognition search thing for Firefox, but I'm not very impressed and I think it would probably return Avril Lavigne in this case....
Remember its best to be like a duck.
Calm on the surface, but paddling like hell underneath.
:o)
I dont go alot on the facial recognition progams. For examples of their fallabilities see my flickr profile page. Apparently Im 80% like so japenese actress.
:o/
Actually I only posted to say I snorted tea at Jo's comment.

wtf!!
The photostream is definitely tingling my Spidey senses :)
And Gillian, watch what you're doing with those "box" jokes, I hear enough of them as it is!
Although the thing that always makes me suspicious is a lack of photos. As we all know, trannies are addicted to photos, to capturing that instant when they appear as female as they can (well I am anyway).
So any self professed trannie who only has 6 photos immediately gets a black mark in my book I'm afraid. And two black marks if all the photo's they have are from the same shoot or time period. Six photo's taken over a period of time is harder to fake then a 5 minute download of someones last shoot.
At the end of the day though, its just sad and pointless in I would suggest equal measures. I think faking it, shows the person has a lot of personal issues which they need to deal with, which I imagine is not a very good place to be.
I can't generalize, but instead of dressing up I WISH I could press a button and BE a woman, or put on a magic woman suit, and have real female parts...
But that, we know, is not possible. So what is the next thing to desire ? Via makeup, surgeries, or pure nature luck, to look as close as possible to a woman.
So trannies WANT TO BELIEVE that someone who claims to be another TG and looks 100% like a woman, is a genetic male. Because that gives us all hope :-)

As for the duck test, it is a slightly dangerous weapon. There are plenty of women that look like men (trannys) so it might not be that reliable.
You rarely find them on tranny forums too, where the usual debate of trains, 'when did you tell your wife?' and whether 'that miniskirt' looks ok on a frumpy middle aged bloke is hardly stimulating conversation!
