There is a good deal of concern for all on a TG/TS site whether they are trans or cis. Sometimes, I wonder who's really the braver, us or cis-people like you (and a few others here) who befriend us. As for the individual that sent the PMs out...I seriously doubt s/he considered or even cared who s/he PM'd. Some of them go thru the member's list and PM people who've been inactive - I've never understood the purpose in that. About the only good such PM's have done as far as I know was to cause long inactive members to drop in. Some of these spammers target active people...most likely because they figure their spam is sure to be received, and in turn the chances their crap will be read. Then of course, there are some that simply lump us in with all the adult/porn sites out there - we are compared to and considered no different than those in the sex trade. Therefore, again...no reason to consider whether a person is male, female, trans, cis, gay, or anything else. Thanks for understanding, Del. PM any one of us anytime there is a problem. -Michael

I do imagine some have nothing better to do with their time than spam people. To me a person must really be a sicko to e-mail a cisgender on a transgender site to share stuff about themselves. I can just imagine how something like that could be twisted into all sorts of foolishness. I know you guys do your best to keep the site safe. I do thank you for that. By the same token I realize that there are always certain risks one takes when they are cisgender and are on a gay or transgender site. Straight and cisgender friends would wonder. Rather risky all around with the open door to rumors and maybe losing friends. Thank God I don't have any to lose. Once again, thank you.

Del - I believe the email that you are talking about was from a spammer. Actually, I think you are referring to a TGG email generated based on your settings here on the forums that notifies you that there is a new PM waiting for you here on the forums. That individual sent out many PM's. It was a spammer, and we did receive several complaints notifying us of the activity. That individual's account has been deleted, and the IP has been banned. On behalf of Lori (Admin and owner of TGG) and all of us moderators, I apologize that you received that PM. Such incidents are disruptive to the community and usually results in making the organization that was used to disseminate that kind of thing, bad. We ask that members always contact Admin or any one of the moderators when they receive these kinds of PMs so that we can take care of the problem as soon as possible. I hope, however, that you understand no website is 100% free of spammers, scammers, and other unscrupulous people. We do actively attempt to keep them at bay. -Michael
