    its not ignorance its just a fact, and payin for porn ? Depend on the content
    TS porn is boring right now, same performers ,same scene,same place
    i just enjoy the pretty pictures from the photoshoot,

    people actually paid when the content is great,

    COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY INCORRECT.

    I've seen the numbers and I've ran cam sites. Some trans girls can make good cam money, most don't and have to work at it, rarely to bring home what you are suggesting. ManyVids - only the top 5 performers make anywhere near what would be a good living.

    So you don't pay for cams, websites, clips? So in what way are you contributing to porn performers incomes?

    probably doesn't pay for his Netflix either. It's a sad mentality nowadays: "Why should I pay for something if I can weasel it for free?" ..seems especially prevalent among millennials.

    You can't make a living doing transsexual porn unless you're the producer and are distributor.
    There is no residue income in porn for the talent but for the producer and are distributors they can keep pushing that same scene on different formats and different times and make money.


    I know of very pretty models who are homeless are and have no car. Some staying in hotels.

    Four Times More Likely to Live in Poverty

    REPORT: Trans Americans Four Times More Likely to Live in Poverty

    Trans Americans More Likely to Live in Poverty

    REPORT: Trans Americans Four Times More Likely to Live in Poverty

    Is there a financial penalty for being transgender in America? The extent of the answers have some serious implications, according to a groundbreaking new report.
    . .

    While positive trans visiblity is on the upswing, it's undeniable that real legal and economic disparities face U.S. trans citizens daily, especially those who are multiply marginalized by intersecting identities of race, gender, and class. The ongoing epidemic of fatal violence against trans women of color is one major indicator.

    As these deaths go largely overlooked by mainstream media, the the average cisgender (nontrans) American may have difficulty visualizing the concrete harm — both big and small — that antitrans discrimination brings to the trans folks in their communities everyday. In order to help fill that gap with more much-needed information, a new report by the Movement Advancement Project and Center for American Progress, Paying an Unfair Price: The Financial Penalty for Being Transgender in America, provides unignorable data that directly links prejudiced attitudes towards trans people with the trans population's striking economic imbalance.

    Providing analysis and clear visuals related to fiscal matters — an issue, MAP and CAP states, which resonates with all Americans — the report rephrases a question common among trans advocates, asking, "Is there a financial penalty for being trans in America?"

    The answer is a resounding yes, and the reasons why are as important to understand as they are damning for the policymakers, health care providers, and educators currently upholding a system that renders trans people uniquely vulnerable to financial destitution, and its accompanying further ostracization and criminalization.

    In one of its most striking findings, MAP and CAP report that trans people are nearly four times more likely to have a yearly household income below $10,000 (15 percent vs. 4 percent of the nontrans population). The numbers go up if a trans individual is a person of color, with Asian American/Pacific Islander and Latino trans folks nearly six times as likely to be living in poverty as their API or Latino cisgender counterparts.

    The tangible symptoms of this disparity include commonly cited realities like difficulty finding a job or housing, difficulty obtaining correct legal identification documents, and facing medical expenses not covered by health insurance, as well as less-discussed issues like credit discrimination and unsafe schools leading to less sustainable employment.



    These common problems result not only in short-term crises for trans citizens that can include unemployment and homelessness, but also long-term financial instability, the report notes. For instance, the inability to open a line of credit or obtain a job with enough income to fund a savings account means many trans people are left covering the basic necessities of food, rent, clothing, and health care paycheck-to-paycheck. That means they are are not working towards building a career or fulfilling their life's dreams, funding their retirement, or simply keeping a financial cushion between themselves and destitutuion should any unforeseen life crises, like car repairs or a child's illness, arise. All of these factors can contribute to a trans person's lowered quality of life, even in moments when they are not actively facing harassment.

    So, what can be done to help fix the system? Paying an Unfair Price suggests a number of policy changes that can begin to be implemented now, including clear federal laws prohibiting employee discrimination, evicting or refusing to rent to tenants, and refusing loans based on gender identity; simpler policies for updating legal identification; cultural competency training for government, health, and educational professionals; and changes in school environments that curtail the bullying of trans students.

    Read more about economic inequality facing trans Americans here, and find CAP and MAP's companion report, Understanding the Issues Facing Transgender Americans, here.

    some make good bucks though, don't they? i'd be hardpressed to think mia isabella (GTA, media appearances) is poor. some stars say the agents of top actors call them for special rates, whether that's true or not i don't know.

    Refreshingly honest & feel she was never going to stay in the business forever. Clear to me she used porn to help her through university & fund operations in her transition (like most girls do)

    what she is saying is true..i know soo many girls that travel from couch to couch,motel to motel(with about two other girls crammed in room)or back and forth from grandma house to jail,etc..many of them have been featured on the websites and work as escorts.the drugs are usually the root problem.but some of them really lack some fundamental social survival skills other than working as an escort.some might have deep rooted mental issues that have never been diagnosed.its tough for a lot of these women.some of them claim to be "hoes from the heart" and really like the escort/traveling/porn lifestyle but I know quite a few who if they could find a legit and equitable imcome source would give it up .
