Why is always said that sex work is the only work for a TS
With all do respect, I am not knocking anyone that works in the sex industry but I never understand why it is always implied that a majority of TS women work in sex work because it's all they can get. I will not even attempt to think I understand the hardships that a TS goes through but I can't believe that most choose sex work because of desperation or no other alternative.
I worked in a administrative position for a major department store for a long time and we took the stance that we would hire anyone regardless of thier sexual orientation as long as they presented themselves that way every day..meaning that you couldnt look like a man on Monday and then a woman on Wednsday. Salespeople, make up artist, etc, make a pretty decent wage in retail to start off if you work hard and a degree in sometimes a diploma is not neccessary. I know that the lifestyle of a TS( maintenence wise) can be very costly but life for anyone trying to achieve major goals is never easy.
Black people in this country couldnt go to college in the early 20th century, so they started thier own. My point is anything worth having is worth sacrificing for. I am not trying to be preachy. Maybe some girls do sacrifece by working in the industry to get what they want quicker, or maybe some just like having sex and getting paid for it. That is not my point to criticize or judge anyone.
I was just wondering why it is often said that " for most girls, sex work is the only way they can survive" .
