There is a new feature on my website for those who take the time to browse around, called Douchebags in Heat. It is an archive of e-mails that I receive in response to ads I place on numerous dating sites (most notably Craigslist) that are basically inappropriate. I feel that it is high time that people actually see the crap that we transwomen have to put up with because people being basically moronic have elected to see us as sex objects and nothing more. This repulses me to no end and I usually just respond to the person in private telling them what exactly they did wrong. I think it’s high time I stopped putting up with these people’s crap and actually start creating a reason for them to think about what they are writing. To get to the newly built archives, click on “Goodies” and then click on “Douchebags in Heat”. I will refuse to remove anyone from the archives so don’t even plan on asking but I will fill you in on how to avoid being featured on Douchebags in Heat. Really, there are only three rules that a guy has to follow to keep his responses out of the archives.
The first rule is to use proper decorum when responding to an ad and to share the same tone in the ad. While one-liner responses generally won’t be featured here for the reason that they are not the reason why these archives were created, sexually explicit messages most certainly will. The webmaster at TS girlfriend, an online chatroom dedicated to helping transsexuals and men connect in an appropriate, almost salon-line, environment, wrote a wonderful article about chatroom decorum when trying to meet a transsexual woman and I believe that it is required reading for anyone interested with dating a transsexual woman. But the general rule of thumb here is that if you wouldn’t say it in person to someone you barely know, don’t say it to me over e-mail. Generally, it is the first e-mail from men that I receive that automatically inducts them into the Douchebags in Heat archives. However, as owner/operator of this website, I will upload content that fits in line with the basic purpose of the Douchebags in Heat archives.
The second rule is that when a transsexual is looking for a long-term relationship, we don’t want to hear anything sexual about you! Chest photos, dick photos, anything with nudity – you really think that this is going to send the right message to a woman who is asking for a long-term relationship? Whenever you mention your dick or hooking up, I start the upload of any content I have from you, along with my response, to the website. Generally, if your e-mail client sends out your real name, that will be posted on the website along with what you have said. If you post details about your work in your e-mail, they will be posted, along with phone numbers, addresses, et cetera. Remember that I have been doing website work for 10, going on 11 years and I have been working on computers since then. I know how to tweak my own mail server and how to find headers in e-mails, so I am very experienced with extracting information about a person for display.
The third rule is basically a rule that will help you everywhere, secure your e-mail and communication accounts. Don’t give anyone access to your e-mail if they are going to write offensive e-mails to transsexual personal ads or give your password/access to anyone that does. I am probably going to get a few e-mails in the future that claim that someone else had access to their e-mail account and wrote these things to me, but I am going to tell them that they are responsible for an e-mail that comes from their account. But I will also verify the e-mail that was sent to me to ensure that it was sent from the e-mail account in question and not a spoofed e-mail. If it is spoofed and I catch it as such, I will remove the content from Douchebags in Heat. Remember, online security is very important and that you should control who has access to your accounts and who does not. Thought I should mention it.
There is also one more thing that I have to say about the archives and it is the fact that I will NEVER take submissions for Douchebags in Heat. I only put this content online because I know and can verify the true recipients through information in the e-mail headers. I know that these people wrote this and can stand for posting this on my website. I also know that when someone sends me an e-mail and denies having anything to do with the e-mail in question, that I could compare information and find the facts. One thing I will never compromise though is intellectual integrity and I will never misrepresent a person who sends me an e-mail or modify their content without annotating it in the e-mail. I will, however, create ways to restrict the adult pictures to people of 18 years of age or older through a few technological modifications. If you wish to launch a project similar to mine, let me know and I’ll try to fill you in on the legalities and the relevant libel laws that you should pay attention to.

I have not experienced this phenomonom myself (I don’t have any personal ads posted), but have heard many lament about it. I’m looking forward to seeing first hand just how bad they really are. Great idea!
