Why is always said that sex work is the only work for a TS

[peggygee]

I agree for the most part, and there is no one single answer as to why so many choose the sex industry, aside from the quick and relatively easy money that can be gained.

I have a couple models who worked 9-5 jobs only to turn their backs on it and go full gusto into the sex industry. I think it's wiser to keep a job, any job, and supplement that with escorting if anything. The longer you go unemployed and without some legal paper trail of work history the harder it is going to be when they want to get out of the sex industry. They are creating a vicious cycle for themselves, but we all have our own lives to lead.

I think about this from time to time for women that I know.

The lack of a verifiable work history will make it extremely difficult for the
woman to obtain employment when she goes to seek employment.

Not only does an employer want the applicant to be qualified (degreed,
certified, licensed, etc.), but they will want them to have experience in
that field.

Another down-side to the sex trade is that there is no IRA, 401K, Social
Security, pension plan, disability insurance, or other mechanism in place for
when a woman wants / needs to hang up her "fuck me pumps".

A happy medum or compromise is to work a legit job, and supplement her
income from the sex trade. That way she can also build a credit history.

And when one of them "snitchin bitches" that she calls friend dimes on her to
the IRS or State Department of Revenue, she can explain that Benz she
drives, and all the Gucci, Pucci, and Fiorruci she rocks.

It is odd that a far higher percentage of TGirls work in the sex industry than GGirls. Looking at eros.com (and I'll admit it's been a few years since I checked), about 25% of escorts there are TGirls. Well, the percentage of TGirls in the world is much smaller than 25%, so do the math.

Job discrimination and the high cost of the transition are two of the main reasons I've heard. I've also read on forums like this and others that TGirls find that forcing guys to pay for their companionship compensates for the lack of openness and respect that they get; but this sounds more like an excuse to me, because the guys who pay for it would tend, generally on average, not to be the cute young guys they'd prefer, but more like older guys who have money, or married guys who are willing to pay for discretion. Finally, I think a strong sex drive of their male-originated physiology has something to do with it; evidence for that is the fact that male homoesexuals are notably more promiscuous that female homosexuals. And I'm too tired to cite the evidence or logic behind this, but I doubt anyone would dispute it -- the point being that males tend to be more promiscuous, though often not successfully since GGirls in most cases don't permit it.

You've made a number of interesting points.

1. You are right that for the most part that the clients tend to be be
middle-aged / older or married men seeking discretion. It's not the young,
hung "trade" that is penalized by having to pay for sex.

2. I can't say that I would equate pre op transwomen with male homosexuals.
However, endocronologically the untreated testosterone levels of a pre op
transwoman might be the same.

I recall, when I was young, dumb, and full of cum, and before I began my
HRT regimen what my sex drive was like. Yes I will admit to being somewhat
promiscuous.

When I began my regimen, I became less promiscuous.

After my orchiechtomy I became even less so.

By the time I became post op my endocrine levels were like that of a
menopausal women, and it was as hard to get between my legs, as it is to
get a camel through the eye of a needle.

I don't equate them either, but your statements starting with "However, endocronologically ..." are pretty much what I was thinking.

Like PeggyGee before me, I agree on the points she re-iterated. I would also add that the lack of Pre-ops taking hormones due to wanting to be functional/cum, effectively stops their transition. I think many TS discount the value of HRT for both the mental and physical aspects. I dated a trans woman years ago, she was an escort and she didn't take hormones because of that plus the fact she also had her breast implants already. I felt her sex drive was way too high for my (never miss my regiment) taste. I could hardly keep up as my libido simply isn't as active. She was also rather muscular which was a slight turn off, but I got over that as I liked 'her' (I don't mind a girl that is toned, but not overly muscular). What I could not get over were some 'male' traits mentally that she couldn't seem to shake. Always 'itching' to fight, and other things, that are testosterone driven.

Another thing, I can assure you I know a great many lesbians, and especially the studs, tend to be even more promiscuous than men. It's as if they have to prove their manhood and carry things to the extreme in a lot of instances. For example, a stud was trying to talk to me for a while, she's a little 'too hood' for my taste, but she is slender, with a cool swagger, so I let her try and after we hung out for a few weeks I noticed, she has a whole stable of girls, I was just one of many. I'll pass on that, even if I was the only TS in the lot, I'm not looking for a "playa".

Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

Many transwomen dont have a HRT regimen, so that they are able to
be functional. Their clients require that they are able to get hard, and to be
able to ejaculate, often-times many times in one day.

When a woman is young (late teens - early twenties) she may be able to get
away with not taking Estrogen or anti-androgens.

But over time, the ravages of testosterone will catch up with her

That Style Exposed:Born Male, Living Female special featured BTG Model Tatiana Lust. She was interesting but her drug habit was troubling. She was all about getting money to support her habit. I don't think she believes she has a problem.

A lot of girls will do hair as a way of working a 9 to 5. Some go to cosmetology schools and end up either doing hair or make-up. Some get into clothing and fashion. The girls I have met that dont work in the sex industry, thats usually what they do to make a buck. A friend of mine had a job with a telecoummunications company, but she couldnt take the scrutiny from co-workers about her way of life. She was full time, but still in the early stages of transition. I begged with her to stay there and not let these people run her off. I was very attracted to her and I didnt want to see her do porn. But I wasnt living in her shoes. I wasnt the one being told I cant use a certain bathroom.

So, after it was apparent that she wasnt willing to deal with all the bs that comes with a tgirl trying to work in the "real world", I suggested to her to get a website. Because she was very unhappy at that job, and she had a "money maker". I knew that her looks, body, and what she had between her legs would definately sell. And it has. She probably makes the same amount yearly that some of those execs make for that same telecommunications company. And she's happy. Which, when u get down to it, matters a lot. So, some girls have a degree of determination where they will fight tooth and nail to live in the real world and not be discriminated against. And some will choose porn. Maintaining a website takes a lot of work. Its a little more involved than just posting an ad and waiting for clients to call. She has worked very hard over the years and done extremely well for herself.
