Gay for Pay- Trans for Pay ?

[MrBlonde]

I was just curious if anyone knows of anyone who may have transitioned or partially transitioned for business reasons more so than their own desire to. I've heard things here and there over the years from different people that sort of hinted towards it, most recently Eva Lin said something along those lines in an interview. I can't remember the exact quote but she said something along those lines. I know such a thing can't be common due to the enormous emotional and financial cost of it all. But in a few instances I'm sure it has happened. Obviously today's breed of drag queens will sometimes go through various surgeries to help out in their line of work. Maybe sometimes it snow balls from there for some?

From what I've heard it seems to be most likely in a country like Brazil.

if you can make money at it, you will find someone willing to do it.

perhaps not prevalent on the "mass appeal pornstar" scale but there are obviously trans-for-pay models featured on several websites. let's think about it...if you are a gay man and can't get any escorting business, why not doll yourself up and sell yourself as a transwoman. you'll be in much higher demand.

that said, i think as transgender individuals are far more the norm in other cultures, it is probably a little more common in Thailand and Brazil than it is here BUT that doesn't mean that some of the models in the US aren't also trans-for-pay. i can think of a bunch that appear to be from their look, lack of transition over time and such.

Why would one like a professional career that won't make them happy??

Yes this is sort of what I was thinking/wondering. I was very surprised to hear Eva talk along those lines. I mean she didn't talk about it heavily or anything but just sort of glossed over it briefly. You would think someone looking and acting like she does has wanted and felt it her whole life.

And back to the drag queen thing. I have heard numerous people bring up certain queens and them having work done (facial, boobs, injections, so on) and still identifying as a male on the inside and in their normal day to day life. Now I am not judging it, I am completely fascinated by it. Going around with a largely feminine look, huge boobs and ass, whatever but still considering yourself male. Just sort of blows my mind.

Then this new breed of feminine male model that is becoming such the "thing". Now obviously some are the classic story of a very feminine male trapped in the wrong body and they get noticed and start slowly transitioning into what they feel more comfortable as. But then there are surely others who start transitioning a bit just to help their career and get more work. It's just another fascinating avenue in this whole trans thing for me. So many different stories, ways, types. All cool and interesting and many times very very sexy.

I heard thats more common for camgirls from poor countries.

Well obviously many times people confuse money with happiness. And in the case of some of these trans girls in dirt poor situations and countries maybe it's looked at as a no brainer and the only way out for them. I've never lived any kind of existence even close to that but I can imagine it. You are poor and desperate and your friends are doing it, you are already on the fem side so you take the route of least resistance. Put food on yours and your families table, start having things you need and want. It seems like a heavy price to pay on the outside but imagine going hungry for a while and what lengths you'd go to change it.

Yes I can see that. I've seen many asian and latin camgirls who are either super early in transition or are just really femme males playing it up for the cam.

That brings up another area of wonder for me. How many of these types start out with little to no interest in being a girl but as they work on cam and see the other girls getting more attention when they have gone further into transition (getting boob work, surgeries) decide to go the same route? I bet it's more common than one would think.

Danielle Foxx started out in the drag world and even did a talk show appearance where she gave up drag because she wanted to focus on her regular career. At the end of the segment her wig was yanked off. We all know where she ended up but it makes for a very interesting watch now.

i can think of a bunch that appear to be from their look, lack of transition over time and such.

There's things I want. Like boobs, srs, some facial work, etc. But I'm mostly happy w/how I look. So that probably makes me less motivated to make a bunch of $$$ to get surgeries. And I spend money like crazy & don't escort or sugarbaby. So all I've done = laser & HRT. I am a woman tho. I pass like all the time.

It's frustrating that ppl might not even consider me a woman just b/c I'm not made of plastic, but it's only porn fans who compare me to the tgirl pornstar norm that think that. In real life in public I do fine being more natural.

Esp the boob thing. Porn fans are like ooooo I won't look at anyone w/o boobs. But IRL I gotta brandish weapons on the street to keep guys from touching me. Different rules apply to porn land.
