At the moment, in Austin, we have a Post-Op TS receiving Verified Provider Status and a Showcase. His stated opinion is that he has no obligation to tell and although he currently HAS it in his profile there is no obligation for him to do so.
Personally, I have no desire to read anything from or about him...... Nor do I have any desire to see any of the other types of information I mentioned in the OP.
The day I log in and there are ads for men seeking male customers, showcases for men, review sections for all the different freak shows that others enjoy will be one day too long that I stuck around.
I am not that open minded.

This is already embraced on the board...the Other Review forums are absolutely teeming with these encounters...as they should be...

Welcome to ECCIE.
We're glad you found us. Yes, another alternative here and we truly hope our idea catches on. This is a public board, and for the time being, completely free to join.
ECCIE, pronounced 'ECK-ee', wishes to give you, the hobbyist and provider community, a freely accessible, easy-to-use platform to exchange information and share your thoughts and ideas.
A recent void spurred the idea, and we hope as many of you as possible choose to join in and become part of our growth. Whether you wish to participate in discussions, post reviews, advertise as a provider, chat, or simply browse our pages as a lurker, we value every segment of our community and offer you a home here at ECCIE.
Just scattershooting here, but we'd like to throw out some thoughts to give everyone a better understanding of our rationale in creating this board, your role here, and how we look at moderating the board.
First things first-
Everyone is welcome. Yes, EVERYONE. We say that in the truest form of sincerity. Now, we can't guarantee that someone won't wear out their welcome, but here to begin with, everyone starts with a clean slate.
While you will not find the rigid enforcement of rules on this board, that does not mean we are without reasonable guidelines for community interaction. Sure there will be a few rules to follow, but the vast majority of you have participated on other boards and likely already have a good understanding of how to conduct yourselves on an adult message board.
Keyword: ADULT. We are all adults here, and our number one rule is to remember that. We welcome everyone's thoughts, opinions and ideas. We encourage lively and spirited discussions. With that said, we ask that you respect those around you. There's room enough for everyone, and while there will obviously be widely differing opinions expressed, we want everyone to feel comfortable in expressing their thoughts freely. We know drama goes with the territory. We're not going to pretend it can be excluded from our forums, BUT our goal is to keep it simmering, and hopefully avoid ever reaching a boiling point, or level which would be considered damaging to our board, an individual, or any segment of our community.
As time goes by, and things evolve around here, im sure we'll have to make decisions that will effect someone who participates here, either a group or individually. Please know that we're committed to making sure that any staff decisions made will be geared toward facilitating discussion and exchange of information. There are no personal agendas here, and frankly, we won't tolerate that. Our staff is here to keep discussions on track and assist in the many maintenance and housekeeping tasks that go along with a message board of this type. We're not going to force our opinions down your throat, or become overzealous in the enforcement of rules. ECCIE is intended to be a safe haven for the responsible hobbyist and provider and as our database of information grows, so too will grow the value of ECCIE for our membership.
So, to sum things up. ECCIE is here for YOU. We can't tell you whether we will experience fast growth, or whether members will slowly trickle in. In either case, please know that the ownership of this board will remain committed to making this an easy-to-navigate, user friendly online experience that meets the basic needs of our community without adding so many frills that our core focus gets lost in the mix. You will see this site evolve and progress at a good pace as time goes by. We welcome your feedback, and will genuinely take all ideas under consideration.
As a final note, ECCIE ownership will remain involved with this site in all regards. We plan to learn from our mistakes as well as the mistakes of others. We expect ECCIE to be safe and secure for our members. Steps have been taken and will continue to be taken to always ensure that.
Thanks and enjoy your stay,
Food for thought.

I haven't heard of or seen any posts advocating for male providers here. Perhaps you've seen some that I've missed?
Personally, I can't even picture myself with a TS, but I don't see what the problem is. As far as I can tell, TS providers aren't interested in "tricking" anyone into seeing them.
As someone said earlier, if you don't like it, don't read it. You'll soon learn whose posts to avoid, and hopefully won't be scarred for life in the process.
