It would in the eyes of many straight people, but that doesn't mean you would necessarily identify with being part of the lgbtq community. Although of course,"shemales" are part of the trans community and therefore part of the lgbtq community.
^^ Fair enough. I guess I was asking from the point of view of queer theory, with its focus on non-normative identity and sexuality. Edit: The post directly above this one was added while I was writing. It's almost an answer, but I would also say it's pretty post-structuralist, and queer theory is decidedly post-structuralist. My question to GGG may have answered itself, but I still wonder what her thoughts are. Edited by - cumminglinguist on 2/20/2013 6:11:17 PM
I am completely clueless about queer/gender theory, but the apparent huge popularity of "shemale" porn among males that otherwise do not identify with the lgbtq community at all is quite interesting. Could it be that it is mostly just a fetish and that they're looking for women with dicks and are not interested in any other questionable behavior/characteristics/identities except for that? That is to a large extent my impression from reading here and elsewhere, but I can't completely disregard the possibility that they might be hiding more queer tendencies (although I don't believe it for the most part). I imagine this could be a source of some conflict/controversy similar to how bisexuals have been met with suspicion from both gay and straight people. People might not be interested in being labeled something that they don't identify with.

The world seems too consumed in giving everything a label and making everything fall within boxes and nothing can fall outside. As A fan of porn i have watched shemale porn and really enjoyed it. Just enjoy the porn and dont worry yourself
I don't really think its anywhere near as simple. I love viewing Shemale porn but im not gay just enjoy reviewing the movies. Different people like different things and that whats makes the world such a diverse place. Most people will find themselves viewing shemale porn at one time or another. However bet only 10% of people admit this through the taboo that society has attached to it This genre makes millions upon millions of pounds a year and so many stars join the genre but would seem that nobody is admitting to viewing or buying it Just enjoy watching it and dont worry about any labels that get attached,
