The only guy friend I have is Radius. As for tgirls in San Francisco? Nina Lawless, I guess, but I don't know her well and we haven't spoken recently. Not sure what else to say.

I only reported you were fine from their mouths and you weren't dead. Clearly you aren't dead as they reported.
"Lying" the nerve..
Lmao this is hilarious..good day..glad you are still with us.
Kelly. I suggest that you back off. For your and Miranda's sake. This squabble is unseemly and inappropriate
Miranda, it is nice to see you are here again. I know, this doesn't mean all your troubles are gone. I hope you have someone around, who support you and to whom you could trust.
Wish you all the best and that hard times will be soon over.
Miranda, there are many other options to get an income and to be at least able to pay your bills and live without doing porn. In my case I transition completely almost 5 years ago. When I moved to Las Vegas I didnt have a shit, I decided to do porn and I tried it. My experience wasnt the great so I needed to look for other ways to make a living. I knew there was a market for web cam models and for strong woman like me in the fetish community so I decided to do what I like, to be a Domme. Being a pro domina opened a whole new world for me and its something I have rely mostly as my principal income. I also decided to start my own business as a photographer which is something I love to do, and started getting things little by little. I also started an ebay store and started reselling and manufacturing fetish items. When one thing was slow I would put the time into the other. I also kept doing webcam shows for an additional income on the side to pay some of my bills. Clearly like other people have said, you need a few little jobs to make things happen. Thats why I wanted you to contact me so I could see what things makes you happy doing that you can make some money off from it as well. Life is hard but then again with the right tools things are much easier. I know how you feel, I was there once but I promised myself not to visit it again. My hand still open, its up to you to reach for it.
Tatiana, this is frigging awesome. I hope it doesn't sound condescending , but I really am proud of you. Your example is something everyone should read and follow because you realized the only way for you to ever get ahead is to help yourself and work your ass off. you found ways to do it, and you did it. So, good for you. I loved reading this. and I pray that Miranda takes it to heart and finds a way to pick herself up and move forward. we all know she can do it, I just hope that she realizes it too. <3
I started a new thread with these links. Please add any helpful links to that thread.

Great resources Scott.
Thanks Ed & Tatiana. As I said in the fore mentioned post I created a new thread with all those links too. Let's just hope that people will comment on it and keep it alive. I'd hate to see it get lost deep on down the line. Hopefully it will get (and stay) as a sticky post at the top of main page (hint hint hint moderators lol).
Miranda appears to have been banned. Don't know why.
Maybe she deserved it, maybe she didn't. But I do know from personal exchanges that she was no better when she reappeared yesterday; possibly worse, if anything.
So I'm saddened to see the one avenue that most of us had to reach her appears to be closed. I only hope that the additional isolation doesn't drive her down still further.
And I would have been more active on the thread today if I hadn't spent a fair chunk of it in A&E after falling out of my car - not as dramatic as it sounds, feet got tangled in the seatbelt - but badly bruised and concussed so have just come round from the sedation.
Then BT decided to shut me out of my own email. Fuck fuck fuck. And that frustration is largely because I can't get in touch with Ms Meadows.
miranda have you ever considered working in the medical field?hospitals are a very welcoming workplace to all people at every hospital ive worked at i met transgender employee work in nursing, administration to maintenance please consider it
Who are you again? Her career adviser? And not for nothing, but nursing is one of the most depressing careers in the world if you don't have an incredibly giving disposition, and frankly, people get to this point because they've already given so much and received so little in return.
I'm not speaking for her. She's a big girl. But this comment strikes me as not only random, but incredibly douchey.
~BB~
being a nurse isnt the only option in the medical field
btw how many years of nursing do you have?
didnt miranda say that she has tried to look for work elsewhere but with no luck in post #182?
My mother was a nurse, and she has a diagnosis similar to Miranda's. Believe me, I've witnessed first hand what working with sick people (nurse or not) can do to people who are emotionally struggling to survive. It's emotionally bankrupting.
Well, by that token, why not a nice career in auto mechanics or bodybuilding? Or maybe she could become a skydiving instructor? Certain people and personality types are best suited to do certain jobs. You sitting on the sidelines making seemingly random suggestions to make yourself look helpful helps nobody.
He has no qualifications to make suggestions about what somebody he doesn't know should do with her life. He's just trying to make himself feel important on the coattails of her misfortune, so chill out.
When either of you admit to being suicidal, then maybe you can speak up, but as far as I can tell, you're both talking out of your arses. Do yourselves a favor and hush up. You might learn something.
~BB~
Guys, please trust me on this without further queries. Miranda doesn't need advice from any of us right now. The situation is sensitive way beyond that.
So please, let's not have any unnecessary spats just now. Miranda's personal welfare has to be everyone's priority.
Thank you.
8 pages back, give or take, we were all lamenting how we're not nicer to one another. Now I get home from work and the thread has degenerated into something not very nice.
I don't know about anybody else, but I was lamenting that the men here aren't nicer to the girls, specifically. You all have only one job in this: be supportive. That's it. Offer your words of encouragement and keep your opinions to yourself, because hardly any of you have any fucking clue what you're talking about. You lack the perspective and the qualifications to make suggestions as to what someone in Miranda's situation should do.
She's a big girl and it's her life. Let her deal with it. :geek:
~BB~
All good intentions, no doubt!
However, when we are dealing with clinical depression, advice on practicalities (jobs etc..) becomes irrelevant.
Miranda needs FIRST to be looked after by professionals (which she IS doing) and only when she is ready she can come back and ask for your advice...In her own time!
Give her space!
Ananke. I agree wholeheartedly.
Having suffered myself from clinical depression .The last thing you want, no matter how well intentioned is a contant stream of advice. In addition I would also add multiple shoulders to cry on, which again well intentioned are not helpful and can prove to be detrimental to recovery.
Miranda needs time to allow her medication to take effect and once stable even more time for her to find her way out from the dark place she currently is.
Miranda. You have to find the answers within yourself, but professional help can guide you.
I wish you well and know you have the strength to find your way back.
Miranda, i got dumped by my parents when I was 16. I had to struggle and worked as a street prostitute for few months to survive, charging 1 or 2 dollars per clients, It's sad and frustrating, but I've managed to complete my high school and finally got a scholarship for college.
Years later, i got dumped again by my wealthy boyfriend. Reason?
He got bored of me and I was no longer "young" for him. He loves teenagers and I was no longer teenager back then.
I had only $700 in my pocket and went to Toronto from Montreal that night, and decided to work as an escort immediately. I charged $80 when the other escorts already charged at least $200 if not more
Years have passed, and i'm still here, not only surviving but thriving.
I'm sure with your intelligence coupled with enough courage and determination you can be successful too.
So wake up sister! There is still a chance.
You have already a good reputation in H.A and you can still continue working in porn occasionally, focusing on you being a bottom, so you don't necessarily have to produce "the money shot", and your main income will be as an escort.
Starting just like me, lower your rate to attract prospective clients.
If average escorts charging 250 or 300, you may start at 150 or 200.
The clients will see it as "not to be missed" opportunity and for sure the demand for you will be higher.
Once you have enough savings, you can start raising rate, thus increasing your potential earning/income.
good luck and I'm 100% sure you will be successful.
The key is: determination and courage:)
very true. Porn industry is dying and it will be replaced by "creative porn" as well as interactive porn in the future.
However, it's still a good place to promote our name in this "entertainment industry", thus i personally plan to do some porn to promote my "neo vagina" in few years, the moment i become a post op :)
Yeah. No. Don't lower your prices. You're a person, not clearance meat. Act like the latter and that's how people will treat you. You're putting a price on yourself - make it appropriate. *smh*
I mean, 'lower your standards?' Seriously, where does some of this advice come from?
