You mean like so-called ladyboys? (no breasts, but with feminine looks and a penis) Ahh. You mean like so-called ladyboys? (no breasts, but with feminine looks and a penis)

I guess a nicer way to say it, a loit of TG's I know are the japanese ideal of it. heh

… none of the people I have been around have been into sissification at all.

What you would have to do is custom-craft it yourself. Second Life issues only male and female avatars. On the bright side, you would have to customize your avatar anyway to engage in adult relationships, since the standard-issue ones lack genitalia. <em>Do you have advice on how do get a trans avatar?</em> Good question. I am currently dealing with this issue myself. I suspect when you say "trans" you are referring to the physical characteristics of a shemale. I think two basic options for you would be: to select a male avatar and make it look very feminine (eg. by purchasing a feminine skin with breasts); or select a female avatar and add very subtle masculine touches -- and a penis. Based on my experience so far, achieving a bigendered or androgynous look is not entirely easy to do. I've been toying with it and haven't had much success yet. The good news is, it's not impossible, either. To a relatively large extent, you could achieve almost any look you want inside SL, either by doing it yourself or by paying someone else in-world to do it for you. Feel free to ask follow-up questions, as I have a keen interest in this topic and would be more than happy to answer. And to anyone else who's reading this and has sound advice, feel free to chime in. Hi Em. What you would have to do is custom-craft it yourself. Second Life issues only male and female avatars.

Do you have advice on how do get a trans avatar?

I was looking into second life but was frustrated because it didn't seem to allow for trans avatars. I'm a transwoman (male to female transsexual to be specific) and wanted to have a trans character there. Sort of like the Shallis character in Spider Garden (michael Manning's work) In any case, its interesting that there are trans groups in second life. I should give it another try.

All of the TG's I have met have been shemales. I know of a few more realsitic shemales that my Mistress has encountered, because of pictures on her TV. Now I also know when my Mistress flips to Male she is them Master and fully a guy for that time, no sissy stuff. Also I the only other TG I know well is a escort, and she will literally be what ever you want for the money, I am hoping to give her Herm form a go round when I got some extra L$. But I guess the point is, it is proably just the people you have been around, none of the people I have been around have been into sissification at all, very few cross dressers even.
