Are there any gay men around to provide me an insight into transgender/transsexual/ladyboys phenomena? As far as I know from reading gay authors, many of them are attracted to blossoming specimens of masculine beauty.
Transsexuals, as crude caricatures of femininity, are not registering on their gaydar in the slightest.
Say, one of my favourite Monty Pythons, Graham Chapman, was extremely dismissive of transsexuals and wrote directly about how obnoxious gay "queens" were from his point of view.
Gor Vidal, another prominent gay writer, was sampling Italian youths in their prime and left us many pages of prose describing the attraction. So did Thomas Mann.
So far I did not find any great literary figure praising trannies of Dylan Mulvaney ilk. I strongly suspect they are treated with derision in the traditionally refined gay circles.
All their hype is a pure invention of some second-rate journalists and a giant shit-test for all of us, hetero- and homo-.

The usual consumers of trannies are some low-life humanity rejects, not quite hetero, neither homosexuals, suffering from multiple psychological and societal disorders, utterly comical in their attempts to revive the withered libido.

Yet I am guessing here.
Is there any literary source to expand my horizons?
