Transexual Occupations

[rick_932]

theres a lot of ts out there who hold 9-5's. i know for you, doin the escort thing is bringin in a lot of money and it may be hard to turn away, but once you do, then you can move on with your life. i agree with alot of the posters who said to save up some money and start your own business doing whatever you like doing. its all on you. it'll be hard at first, no doubt, but as long as you have the will and determination to get the job done, you'll succeed.

on some real shit, this is a major life changing decision. and IMO, the longer you wait to act on a decision, the harder it'll be for you to give up what you have and are doing right now. hope everythin works out for you

i think there are probably a number of girls who have actually good insight into this situation and can offer some "from the girl" point of view. I personally know a very successful full tim t girl in nyc working in real estate. i think people's attitudes about t girls will like so many other things will be going thur some changes, right now, mainstream has some pretty distorted ideas about the whole transgendered thing....but the more girls that come out, and be somebody, and be all you can be, the more mainstream people have to deal with you. You cant let potential prejudice and all that stop ;you.....fk that, while you are making money, and have options, start to think about WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO AND START MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION... doing the school thing would certainly be a start.....but make no mistake about it....THE MONEY AND THE EASE TO PUT TOGETHER MONEY FROM TRICKING IS SSERIOULY ADDICTIVE....but your real challenge is to want to do something , for real in your life..and move toward it....you got to find that "thing" that makes you jump out of bed in the morning and want to pursue....thats the challenge....until you find your "calling", for lack of a better word, escorting will always seem like a better alternative, quick and cash and carry.......the fact that you are thinking about this is a good sign....now you got to make it more than a passing thought....dajuicy

Tho I appreciate all the insight from you guys and your opinions, I was hoping that some actual Tgirls who hold real life jobs would see my post and offer some sound and help0ful advice. You all "know of" a girl or "have seen" a girl working 9-5 and doing the real job thing. But there is nothing like experience. Guys are always on the outside looking in and can only comment on what they have seen girls do or heard of.
Alot of you posted that it isnt true that most girls escort, but I was only commenting from my experiences. I have been escorting since 1999 and between now and then out of all the girls I have known, only about 10 percent of them have had real jobs. This is only my experience
Pic up the news paper and tell me house many TS you see in the job market???? Now log onto eros.com and tell me how many TS that you see???? Thats the point Im trying to make, only soeaking from my experience.
Saving is a hard thing for me, because ever since I have been making this money I have been overwhelmed with material things, fashion...Im very dedicated to my home and art deco, etc. I shop everyday...EVERYDAY. This is bad I know. But if I save I dont know what I could invest in, a businesss....hmmm thats something to think about but i cant see myself really doing nething.
Believe it or not, I use to work for a big insurance company ( the lizard), which paid pretty good. This was around the time where I had started becoming full time, and was scared to deal with the changes that would come with transitioning on the job...so i quite. Tisk tisk right.
Anyway, thanx for all of the positive imput and constructive criticism, it really means alot. I would like to hear from Allanah, Vicki, Wendy, and other girls on this topic. So hopefully it will stay fresh for a few days.

Kisses

well

i know alot of girls who work non sex jobs-

my assistant sonia
i know some make up artists
performers
hairdressers
artitsts
retail girls

there are alot- they are just not visible because we of course in the sex industry are th emost visible.

being a sex worker is like any other job-
sometimes u hate it, sometimes u love it
it has aits great and bad things about it
it just happenes to be sex.

i think if u are not careful then yes it can totally screw up with your mind-make you very jaded, and afect your relationships with men in general.

i have always seen the sex business as a means to an end- you just have to figure out what you are trying to get from it.

if would suggest to anyone who is extrmely unhappy with what they do no matter if it is sex, electricia, etc that they look for something else to do because eventually it will drive you mad.

i really don't think there is any moral objection to selling sex wether it be as an escort, adult actress, website, playboy model, or paris hilton eating a humburger in a bikini. sex sells.

but i will tell you a personal story-

when i first started my transition- i was not in the sex business. i actually performed all around the county and at night clubs for aobut four years before i transitioned. when alot of that work started drying up in miami, i got a job at the lucky chengs that was then open there. i was a waitress, show hostess, u name it. i worked there for four years and saved hard to be able to afford my initial surgeries, electrolysis, etc. i also had met a gentleman who helped me out financially a bit then. then everything fell apart when the restaurant closed, the man that i was seeing left (it was hard because we never had sex and i could not bring myself to do it- so he left) AND i was stuck without a job and very little money left. i had my apt, and was still in the earlier stages of my transition. now, i did have a degree, but i have not held a regulat job in many years and in mnay ways i was still very uncomfortable with my appearance. i had facialhair still and did not feel passable at all. and really going to get a job for 10 dollars an hour was not going to cute my rent, bill, as i want spending about 300 a week alone on electrolysis at the time. so i knew alot of the girls were int he escort business and i bit the bullet and decided that was the only way i could remedy my situation fast. it was difficult at first because i had never been or had anyone to guide me about the industry- so initially i ended up working for some crazy agencies and then finally went independant and on my own.

there is alot more to that story- and how i ended up in new york, and in porn , etc- but as you can see i did do other things before i was a sex worker.

i do see that for most girls- its difficult to make the money they need to transition without being involved in the sex industry somehow.

KEEPING THIS TOPIC FRESH.

Well I could tell you all the hard shit I dealt with growing up, but that would be pretty much pointless. As far as a job, I don't have much advice. One thing I live is the downfall effect. I usually take three hours to myself(with the work and scheduling you have I think you may owe it to yourself to do the same or more) about twice a week and analyze who and what may be my eventual downfall. It could be a bestfriend, alcohol,weed, even shopping like in your case, or it could be the lack of something (like looking into your spirituality). After I analyze and reflect I immediately attempt to rid myself of those things.
If shopping is stopping you from saving and doing what you want in life then it can be your downfall...in life and from what you're saying you dont want that. Maybe start off by finding out what you want in life or what you wanna do. Hell I'm in post-graduate school and I don't know what I wanna do. If advocacy is your thing I believe you would be a good representative for the TS community in many agencies (public and private sector). That I could help you with as far as contacts because thats my profession.
Thats all the advice I have. I wish I could tell you how to save your money and open a chicken shack, but I didn't get my MBA....sorry.
Stay up though and I hope your prayers are answered seriously and "The Man" upstairs points you in the right direction, and you follow.

Well my story is somewhat similar to Allanahs, After graduation from Eastern Kentucky University with a Bachelors in "Small Business Marketing" GO FIGURE, lol . Anhow I was working for the IRS for two years meanwhile at nights working at gay clubs, I began wanting to transition but working fulltime for the government wasnt enough to pay and working at the club at night SURE wasnt helping. I met a guy whom I fell in love with he promised to help me with my transitioning if I would give up working as a boy during the day and begin my transition with him in Florida. At this time hotwendywilliams.com was a site pretty much a personal website NOT a porn site. Working in the club I had been approached to escort but boy on boy sex wasnt ideal for me. Anyhow I needed money to pay student loans, moving expenses, etc so I took an offer from a sex change in Ohio (rumorhasit.com) to escort as a "ts" for her company. I did that briefly before I moved and was over whelmed by the fast money.

Just before I moved a guy approached me about turning my website into a porn site, (now that is a long story LOL). Anyhow I moved to Florida with this guy who was so ready to help me until I got there and he treated me like a slave, literally. I had no where to go and was confused I need money quick so I started shooting for websites (shemaleyum and foxyangel) and started an ad in the local paper.

AND BAM now Ive turned it into a nice business career for myself. I enjoy the production and marketing (shameless self promotion) of it. I have NEVER fit in with the barbie big dicked shemale stereotype but with great friends and determination I have done well for myself.

I think people misunderstand that when I say that I run a business like Allanah its really is a 9-5 job, it just happens to be the adult industry. I pay taxes, have a office, business license, license to sell videos, etccc.

And believe me some clients are like a full time job, LOL

Its no secret that the majority of Tgirls are escorts, and im sure that everyone understands why. Society hasnt fully accepted us yet, not enough to welcome us into the work force.

That's absurd. Most trannies are escorts because they're gold diggers and you know it. Being an escort is not a career. It's illegal and ya'll should be arrested for it. It takes no skill, education or experience. Shit, ANYONE can be an escort, even a one legged toothless midget so it's not something I'd brag about if I were one. There are other transsexuals who finance their transitions without ever resorting to escorting. It's possible to do it without being a hoe. That's the only pet peeve I have about the whole transsexual community, it's based on promiscuity and I'm not down with that so that's why I basically don't mess with trannies who are escorts.

My respect for Jade went up 10 fold......because the only Tgirl ive ever dated has to escort at 40 now because she never saved a penny of the literally tons of money she made when she was younger.

Much props to you Jade, and like the other posters here have suggested....open up your own mainstream business using whatever loans/grants the gubment will help you with...Hair salon, trendy clothing store, yeah even a nightclub....all decent money makers with little risk.

You always have such motivating replys Mixed, but as always I wont comment on what you say. But I will say this...this site is for transexual lovers and admirers. No matter what a girl does rather she escorts,sell drugs, or do backward flips for a living, this site is teill dedicated to her...a hung angel. There is no reason to be here if you have to be so negatively judgemental towards any girl. There is no reason to have opposition towards any transexual if you are truly an admirer. I have noticed from day one that your posts seem to always be negative in sum way, so i take it that you obviously have issues with your self. I am not the type of girl to have hostility towards anyone, I am the nicest person you could ever meet, but it has gottento the point where I had to say whats on my mind. Now if you choose to slay me like you do Eendy Williams, or to never say anything to me ever again at all, it is entirely your choice, but I made this post to get positive f3ed back from sincere posters. Thanx for your time.

Kisses

Jade, fine. We're all entitled to our own opinions. I'm not one to sit here and kiss some chick's ass like half these other fools do. I'm not some trick and never will be so there's no reason for me to. I don't particularly care for GG's who get paid for bein hoes either. In fact I was taught it was disrespectful. But since I'm attracted to trannies(which has been more like a curse) I'm supposed to overlook it because they need lots of money to transition? Please. If you don't agree with me, then thats your perogative.

And what does this have to do with anything?

Now if you choose to slay me like you do Eendy Williams, or to never say anything to me ever again at all, it is entirely your choice, but I made this post to get positive f3ed back from sincere posters.

There was no reason for you to even bring this person up.
