Maybe you weren't cut out to be in management. It's easy to play the victim and say you were kicked to the curb because of others' prejudices rather than your own deficits in talent/motivation/education/etc.

Hell, maybe you even escaped to the world of gender-bending BECAUSE it gave you an 'out' in terms of your career. Now you don't have to face your mental insufficiencies. If someone criticizes you, you can play the 'bigot' card and hop back on the high horse.

Lots of that going around this time of the year. Barack doesn't lack experience. He's not a socialist. He doesn't associate with America-hating terrorists. YOU'RE a racist.

Lol, you're Funny

Melissa,

Not to be too personel but how much on average can a Tgirl escort expect to make?

Oh and do you claim any of the income for tax purposes?

Thanks,
Ashlee

It is all charity work. wink wink.

I'd rather work for minimum wage my whole fucking life in order to make connections like that with people than EVER give up, shut down and be a whore.

Minimum wage? $4.00 to $7.50/hour depending on state.

You speak in perfect theory but reality would crumble your idealism. At that rate you work a 40-hour week and take home $200. Meanwhile there's $300 offered for 30 minutes getting your dick sucked. Now that's no-brainer territory.

You are talkin' trash from your cubicle. Now get back to work on that spread sheet.

I tend to agree there are a lot of trans people who blame everything that has ever been wrong & bad in their life on their trans status.

Like that's what I was saying- NOT.

Sarah, you offer excellent information in your replies but you miss the boat sometimes. My point is that given my former life being terminated from jobs repeatedly (it is not coincidental that the firings came as I transitioned) I am better off as an escort.

And may I add that 90% of the sessions are decent, respectable and dare I say it, enjoyable. More free time, no one to answer to, complete freedom and autonomy, I am the architect of my day, and make almost three times what I made in property management. I choose who I meet, I decline those who make me nervous. I have total control. I find nothing degrading or lowly about my vocation. I offer a personal service and am damn good at it. This is the best job I ever had.

That was the point.

You know not of what you speak.

"Education deficient"? LOL. I'm a college graduate, with honors, a BFA in art history from Pratt Institute. And was accepted at Yale graduate school but declined to make and sell my paintings. I held senior level management positions for ten years. Nobody pulls that off unless they are competent.

Barack and racism has nothing to do with the topic. Perhaps your complete mis-directed and irrelevent reply is the real "mental deficiency". Good luck with that problem, Corky.

Wow, he is a lucky guy. Continue to do what makes you happy, it's much better than doing what makes you depressed. You look great by the way.

Melissa, if you don't mind me asking, what does your boyfriend think about your line of work?

He's a former client, lol

Thank you, I believe we're both lucky to have found each other.

See, Floyd gets the message; it's about what makes you happy.

There are very few transsexuals with high-level high-income positions.

Sure, you can get a job but can you make the big bucks? No. America's not ready to give a chick-with-a-dick the CEO spot.

i second that! I been re-thinkin my lifestyle and considerring going back to college and quitting escorting eventually. I wonder sometimes though if its what i really want, or if it's what people have forced me to believe i want. Im so confused lol. Is being an escort for a tranny just an easy way out??? Or is it in fact our best option for survival???
