www.transgenderdatingproject.com"Hello, I am a transgender that does live in Michigan here! I have put together a web site for transgender dating that is of high quality and is respectable. I just recently started this site because a lot of the other sites had to much porn and nudity! I know there is a lot of girls like myself that wants to find a guy in an environment where they will not be harassed by people that like to exploit. I pledge to try and keep those that create trouble in the community out! Anyways, I'm rambling here. I was really hoping you would take a look at my site, and if you find it acceptable that you could add my link to your directory. Any money from the paid memberships will go back into the site, if the site grows bigger, I have already started talking to dating script software companies and a company with dedicated servers! The price tag on that is out of my reach until I get enough members to justify it. The site I have now should hold 2,00 members with out a problem. Thank you so much for your time."
