I apologize for my tardiness in responding to this thread, as I am just
now seeing it, and will be uncustomarily brief as I am running late for work.
I can say that I have no moral or ethical qualms about a woman working in
the sex industry, just as long as she has an exit strategy in place.
In response to:
I humbly thank you for your gracious compliment. ;)
As regards:
I often hear women trans and natal complain that men
speak to and approach them rudely and crudely.
I can honestly say that I don't have that problem as I don't put forth a
persona that would cause people to step to me in that manner. I like to
feel that I come across as an intelligent, serious woman, albeit with a great
sense of humor, but by no means a woman that is an easy conquest.
Then too, on the trans-forums, the fact that I am a gyno-American keeps the
guys from fetishizing me, as I have a vagina and not a penis, thus for the
most part I am of no interest to many of them.
And finally:
I have had mainstream employment for decades, even in the so-called "bad
old days", before there was trans-rights legislation on the books.
Why was I so fortunate, and others seems to experience so much difficulty?
1. I have always realized that "Knowledge was power". Thus I realized that
education would be key, no matter what my gender was. As such I have
marketable skill-sets, and have never been unemployed for any prolonged
period of time.
2. Early in my transition I had all of my documents amended so that they
would be congruent with my gender. A woman can not apply and obtain a
job if her appearance says "Eve", but her documentation says "Steve".
3. "Passing privilege" - also early in my transition I did all that was in my
power to ensure that my appearance was in sync with the woman that
I was. Anyone that knows me, knows that I was very, very serious about my
transition. Thus whatever surgical, endocrinological mediation I required, I
did so. And I of course worked on my psyche and spirit as well.
To those women that say that "all men want is sex, so they might as well
charge for it", I must beg to differ with you.
Have a talk with your Mother, Sister, Auntie, or any natal female that you
know, and they will tell you that it's the nature of the beast, that it is man's
biological imperative to spread his seed, and as women we are the soil that
he will attempt to do so with.
