traps didn't want me... Am I welcome here?

Hey! Sorry I didn't get back to this sooner. First, thank you for writing- while it's always nice to compliment, it's especially nice when a deserved compliment is received so well. I thought your pictures were excellent- yes, they were "hot" and "sexy" and all the things we like, but they were also considered, compelling, energetic and, yes, arousing. This "trap" thing... I mean, who's to say? I actually feel like "is it a trap if I know the secret and don't care?" Or if I found out I'd run with it because Jenny is hot as hell! ... why the dedication to deception? I suppose that's "straight" privilege talking but still...

I've met people here, straight as an arrows path. But when they dress, when they feed that inner soul, when they dare to step out into the mystery... they want to engage the world and all that entails en femme and be recognized for it. I think that's (pardon my exuberance) fucking HOT! Why police it? I've never seen OP's photos (that I know of). But even if I had, even if OP was totally passable- it's still not a place to discriminate from.

What it took for you to recognize this in you; to not brush it under the rug or suppress it; to engage yourself with it; to actually dress and feel it; to capture yourself with photos; to present this facet of yourself for public consumption... each step taking more and more courage. And for it to be met with so much approval but then the judgement of one... that's stupid. Your photos are spectacular. And not just for the courage and self-determined beauty, but because they ARE hot and sexy and arousing and fantasy inducing.

I'm going on a bit of a rant myself. Sorry. But I'll finish with ... look, you're on an exploration- and if you know anything about history, it's that explorers have ALWAYS been misunderstood. They've been criticized and categorized and told to go somewhere else. Stay true to YOUR journey. Seriously. Because if the explorers had listened, we'd still think the world was flat, that art has to be photorealistic, that poetry has to rhyme, that you are as you are and there's nothing else.

Again, apologies for the rant and the delay in responding. I am sorry that you took down the photos from the trap page... maybe you can repost them elsewhere and for every "upvote" they get, you can feel a tiny "FU" sent to the op of "traps" (I mean, the last I saw, that single photo of you was at about 145 upvotes... that's a LOT of FU's)

Hope you had a great weekend and this week goes well. take care, dsb
