So, by extension, the rest are? In any case, this is an academic exercise for me, since it's never been important whether they are or aren't "on paper," so to speak. I go by the impact of appearance as a whole, and if you were form a line of my AC favourites, it would comprise a mixture of NB and TG (the sequence would run something like: Tiger*, Balloon, Chilli*, Kathy, Opal, Angie, with Maya and Elli now coming into the equation). Others seem to have to establish gender first, and then will only pick their favourites from the known NBs (and then, if we're not careful, bias based on discrimination is let back into the debate).

For me, the knowledge that Nancy is NB doesn't rank her ahead of Elli (if the latter is indeed TG), in terms of allure; it just shows what varied 'results' genetics/hormones can produce. Many people are born or develop in such a way that the question of gender can't be solved with a simple Box A or Box B answer (neither can the question of 'attraction,' for that matter!)

Not that I want to start another pointless disagreement here, but this statement is a little contradictory as far as my opinions count.

I like Nancy's legs precisely because they look feminine; nice shape and very little muscle definition. The likes of Balloon and the other LB have awful legs; all sharp angles and muscle.

Well, so much for not wanting to start another pointless disagreement. I'd missed this when I posted the first bit, but I can't let it go.

'Bias based on discrimination' ? Where are you getting this 'discrimination' from? Has it ever occurred to you that it might just be 'Bias based on personal preference' ?

That's precisely why I like Elli's legs. That's also precisely why I like Balloon's legs (we can play a game where I post caps featuring AC babes legs only, so that you can guess which are NB and which are TG, if you're so confident of making the call?).

It's funny: I'd initially included a line in the post above yours about you likely having read all the recent posts with interest, but not feeling you could commit confidently to a view until others had posted 'verdicts,' but I took it out because I didn't want to rile you! Now you re-enter the fray to basically say: "it was never in doubt!" The uncertainty of some of your previous posts, meanwhile, stand as indicators to the contrary.

There's a long history of discrimination occurring only when the facts about someone's sexual orientation, or political views or whatever, have become knowledge (see Hollywood discriminating against gay actors, and the McCarthy communist 'witch hunt'). I'm drawing a parallel with that. Discrimination can be direct and obvious, or indirect and implied.

One way of working clear of that sort of stuff is by having the courage of your convictions, and expressing a preference before you have 'the knowledge.' If you like the look of Nancy, you should go with that, you shouldn't have to wait for the statistical results to be fucking posted before you can let your full appreciation out the bag!

Hi Addison - Haha, no - all the others are not shemales

That's fine, if like you, you go purely from appearance. But let me ask you a question. You make friends with some guy at work (or whatever). You really 'hit it off' and become best buddies. You socialise, invite him round for dinner, etc, etc. A couple of years down the line he gets arrested, charged and found guilty of murdering several women (in a nutshell, it transpires he's a serial killer). You still going to socialise with this guy once he's released? Invite him round for dinner? Call him your best mate?

Now that might seem like a rather harsh comparison to make, but the point I'm really making is that your view of this person has been changed by something you were not privy to when you considered him your best buddy.

Why do you find it so difficult to grasp the fact that I cannot and will not sit there tugging over a person whose natural gender is unknown to me?

The thing is, Addison, I'm perfectly happy to admit that your attitude makes you the better man, but stop trying to make me feel like I'm a bad person because I think differently.

As for the 'Guess the Legs Game', bring it on.

I don't think you can 'control' being turned on or not in the way you seem to imply can be done. I think it's an instinctive thing; I don't think the intellect can impose conditions that aren't forced and contrived. I think only homophobics with the misplaced worry that responding favourably to highly feminised transgenders will somehow call their heterosexual credentials into question, are in need of 'supplementary information' that will never be displayed on screen, before they can relax completely and 'proceed.' And these shows will only ever be visual; flat and abstract in a certain way, like pictures.

Well then you taught me something I wasn't aware of; I'm a homophobe.

Kitty looking amazing this morning. Just hoping for a wardrobe malfunction in that top. Now that's one Thai I'd love to Take Away.

I'm liking the new OSG's on Ch 945, it's the first time iv'e seen them, i prefer them to the ones being shown on Ch 914, i'm guessing BS/Cellcast have done the new ones.
The on-screen phone numbers and customer service info is different to that of Ch914 as well, I see Milton Keynes the Cellcast head quarters is given as the customer service address, and Cellcast even gets named as providing some service or other in the small scrolling info at the bottom of the screen .

I could be wrong on this but i think it's the first time Cellcast have been directly connected with the broadcast of Asian Connections, other than letting Asian connections broadcast on 945 Cellcast didn't have anything to do with the actual broadcast side of things, ie phone numbers, general OSG's customer support etc .
Until now 945 always had the same OSG's and customer support details as 914 i believe .

It makes me wonder if Cellcast at some point will take over the Asian Connections shows altogether ? .
