Thread: An Interview with Cataleen TV

    Default An Interview with Cataleen TV

    They say that in life it is 'different strokes for different folks' and here, in the escorting, never has a saying been so apt.

    I have worked for Escort Scotland (and her sister sites) for almost a year now, and I have to say, it never stops surprising me. I will admit, I came into the industry, never really understanding the TV and TS scene. I never had any homophobic beliefs; people are people to me and will get treated on merit. I just never understood the genre.

    Since coming to work on the phones, and later the forums, I have learnt that they are not some 'strange sub-culture', they are normal people, who don't really fit into any media stereotype.

    However, last week I thought to myself 'do I REALLY understand what makes TV tick?' The answer was a resounding no, mainly because I had never asked (maybe out of a totally unfounded fear of being accused of ignorant and bigoted) It was then I decided to catch up with Cataleen TV.

    Cataleen is one of the UK's most famous TV's and he/she was happy to talk to me about life as a TV. What followed was once of the most interesting conversations I have had in the last 12 months.

    I hope you had enjoy reading it, and maybe answering a few questions of your own regarding TV's.

    Q1) When did you first realize that you didn’t conform to gender norms?

    A1) From an early age, I realized that I didn’t want to be involved in typical boyish pursuits such as football, playing cops and robbers, fighting and rolling around in the dirt, preferring to socialize with girls, go rollerblading, play dress-up and talk about the boys in class that we thought were cute! I didn’t really understand it at the time, but with hindsight I now I realize that this was a strong indicator that I didn’t conform solely to my birth gender, i.e. that there was a part of my personality that identified with femininity and female social roles. However, strictly speaking, I am not gender dysphoric, i.e. I am not a male to female transsexual who feels that I was born with the wrong body: after doing a gender identity test, I discovered that I am what is classified as an androgyne, meaning that my internal gender identity is essentially androgynous, both male and female at the same time, or possibly neither. I am someone who gleans the greatest fulfilment in life by expressing both genders as and when I feel appropriate.

    Q2) How and why did you become an trans escort?

    A2) Some years ago now, I started seeing a guy who wanted me to dress up in girl’s lingerie and wear full makeup when we were in bed. Strangely enough, initially, I thought this request to be a bit bizarre! It wasn’t until I’d actually complied with his wishes that I discovered how much I enjoyed exploring my sexuality while wearing girl’s apparel. Things snowballed from there: it wasn’t long before I was completely kitted out with makeup, wigs, clothes and shoes, and had created a few profiles on transgender dating sites. On these sites, I quickly realized how much T-Girls were in demand, that sexual mores had become more liberated in recent years, and that I might even be able to make money by becoming a trans escort. I designed a couple of websites, and Cataleen came into being!

    Q3) Have you ever felt your job to be a bit strange?

    A3) Don’t most jobs have their quirks?! I took to being Cataleen more easily than I originally thought I would. I found that I really enjoyed being treated as a girl by men – in a lot of ways, it felt more natural to me being called ‘honey’ by a guy, rather than ‘mate’, i.e. I felt that guys were treating me the way that I’d always wanted: with respect, kindness and delicacy. When a man deals with another man, their interaction societally is expected to be more brusque and indelicate.

    Q4) How is your female personality different to your male personality?

    A4) To me, the premise of this question is a bit schizophrenic. I don’t really see myself as two people: both my female and male personalities constitute one person, and are tantamount to the same human being. If I were to be pushed into giving an answer, maybe Cataleen is slightly more confident sexually and interpersonally. The honest answer is that I don’t really see much difference.

    Q5) What are the men like who come to see you, and how do they classify their sexual orientation?

    A5) One of the questions that I’m most commonly asked by my clients is: ‘Does it mean I’m gay because I fancy T-Girls?!’ My recent experiences as a transvestite escort have led me to the conclusion that 90% of men are 90% straight, i.e. that most men are mostly heterosexual most of the time.

    Essentially, all of the guys I’ve met are straight (gay guys aren't into us at all). I think the reason for this is because the majority of gay guys fancy masculine people, and straight guys fancy feminine people. I've come across the words 'transattracted', 'transorientated', 'transcurious', 'transphilic' and 'heteroflexible'. Maybe these words come close to describing the men I meet; maybe not.

    If I were to delve a bit deeper, the words straight and gay are only applicable if you conceptualize the human race as consisting of two genders. As soon as the third gender (trans) is taken on board, then the bi-gendered terms gay and straight don’t make any sense. For example: imagine the sexiest, most convincing trans girl you have ever seen. If she fully identifies with the female gender in every way, and you ask her if she is gay, does that mean that you are asking her if she is into girls or guys? You can see where the black-and-white terms gay and straight break down in this scenario. The same applies to a man who is intrinsically into women, but finds T-Girls attractive, too. It doesn’t make any sense logically or semantically in a tri-gendered world to say that he is gay because he finds trans girls attractive.

    There are words, albeit not in common usage, which describe sexual orientation and take all three genders into consideration: androphilic (sexually attracted to men); gynephilic (attracted to women), and tranphilic (attracted to transgendered people). I’d love it if these adjectives took off, as they transcend the necessity to use the words gay and straight, but I suspect that they will languish in the deepest linguistic nether regions of Wikipedia forever more!

    My final thought on this matter is always if two adults are having fun with one another, why should it matter which inadequate monikers are used to describe their sexual orientation? Life is for living. Carpe diem!

    Q6) What is the strangest thing you have ever been asked to do in escorting, and did you do it?

    A6) I was once asked by email if I would be willing to humour a guy’s fetish by wearing scuba diving gear! I think that he was just trying to wind me up: I’m glad to say, for once, that he was a no-show!!!

    Q7) How long do you think you will stay in the business for?

    A7) Oh, there are a good few years left in Cataleen yet, methinks!

    Q8) What will you do when you leave?

    Q8) It’s my intention to develop my burgeoning adult phone sex business, sitting in my villa near the Med with a stiff G&T in hand!
