The Transgender Odalisque

For historical and practical reasons Code d' Odalisque is an essentially heterosexual system of slave play. The motive force of play is male "fantasy projection"and the main mode of play is cockworship. The cry of the slave is "I am my Master's cunt!" Play is essentially male dom/female sub with an emphasis upon sexual objectification. The phallus is glorified and in response the female submissive renders herself as an object of phallic pleasure, a sexual puppet for her Master's pleasure. The entire Code including its system of etiquette is based on this premise. It is a system designed for cunt-loving men and cock-loving women.

There is, all the same, nothing to stop homosexual players from adapting it to same-sex play, and there is also nothing preventing transgender people from being involved. Most specifically, there is nothing preventing a transgendered man - that is, a biological man who has become a woman - from playing the role of odalisque. Over the years we have had several inquiries from from such women about this, and we have also had correspondence with a transgender odalisque. It is entirely possible - to each their own. There are no moral or philosophical objections.

It has to be said, of course, that the odalisque role is only really open to a post-op tranny - an odalisque is her Master's cunt and must therefore be physically equipped. Moreover, it also needs to be said that - to be perfectly frank - some gender transitions are more successful than others. It is, finally, a matter than needs to be considered on a case by case basis. Some men make nice women. In others the transition is less flattering. These days the medical assistance and surgery required for the transition is much more advanced than in the past, and so there are many cases of men who have become quite beautiful trans-women. For the Slavekeeper, Code d' Odalisque is a celebration of female beauty. Some transgender cases are more suited in this respect than are others. So too in regards to functioning genitalia.

The question of psychology is more vexed. A man can be changed physically by surgery, but what about his psychology? Cockworship necessarily involves the mystery of "otherness". A biological female can never really know the realities of masculine phallic sexuality. This is not true of someone who was once a man but is now a woman. It is a complex issue.

As always, the key factor here is consent and honesty. We have known instances of trannies posing as biological females in various adult and swinger scenes. This is dishonest. Everything ought to be upfront and transparent. If a trans-woman advertises herself as an odalisque looking for a Master, she should make it clear that she is a biological male from the outset.

Needless to say, the vast majority of Slavekeepers are looking for real, biological females as their odalisque, not a converted male. Again, Code d' Odalisque is essentially heterosexual and is a celebration of male/female lust and attraction. This can be adapted to other possibilities in the gender spectrum but it requires creativity. This is to be encouraged, by all means, but the essential character of the Code, and the orientation of those involved today, remains as it always has been.
