You're most welcome.

There goes my usual encyclopedic explosion of info.

Interestingly enough I have never employed or had a TG apply for a job with me openly (or clandestinely either...LOL). Nor even submit an application. I am sure my staff's would have informed me of this happening as of course it would have been all the gossip. I will say though that a passable man or woman would probably get through a government/public sector screening much easier than a private sector opportunity. Primarily because of the laws in place that have to be followed consistently and are scrutinized more regularly than in the private sector...

I have been interested in knowing what career fields are more attrractive to TG's, other than ones that involve regular nudity, money exchanges for services/companionship and/or clandestine meetings. Now seriously, yeah I thought about this for selfish reasons... But if you really want to meet and date a 'stable' TG woman isn't that the best place to look?

PS: Dont crucify me for the 'stable' characterization, everybody here knows what I mean.

It is true that many States as well as the Federal government have in place protections against discrimination based upon gender identity and discrimination:

A Federal agency cannot discriminate against an employee or applicant with respect to the terms, conditions or privileges of employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other factor that is not related to job performance. Discrimination on these bases is prohibited by one or more of the following statutes: 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(1), (b)(10); 29 U.S.C. 206(d); 29 U.S.C. 633a; 29 U.S.C. 791; and 42 U.S.C. 200e-16.

However, I feel that a motivated, and qualified transwoman could just as easily obtain employment in the private sector.

The second part of my thread-starter was a question: What about a charity to fund the SRS ?

For many Tgirls the SRS is not "just an elective" procedure. It's something they really want; it's essential to their identity. Having the SRS would help solve the employment problem. Also, and how true this is I don't really know, I've heard it claimed that men or lesbian women are more likely to take a TGirl seriously as potential lovers if they have the SRS. Like I said, I'm not sure about the last sentence, so if someone thinks they know better they may comment. But the sentences before that I'm pretty sure about.

Most people who care about TGirls could afford to donate ~$100 for such a charity. But hardly anyone would donate the $10,000 which, I think, is the minimum. Unless they're very rich so that $10,000 is small change, a donor would only give that much if the TGirl was his wife.

Don't want to have my head on swole, and or a legend in my own mind, but
did want to say you're welcome if you were referring to me.

And as MrF said, thanks to everyone for making this topic a stimulating and
enlightening one.

I agree that in many if not most cases GRS is not a elective surgery, or something that a woman "wants", but rather it is often a live-saving operation, and at a minimum improves a woman's quality of life.

There are a few charities that will help women with rent, fuel expenses and the like, but none that I know of that will assist with transition costs.

The closest to that would be insurance from a woman's employer that will cover HRT, therapy, and in some instances GRS.

Yes, I feel that that are some who would contribute to a fund like this, but I get the sense that many men wouldn't contribute, as they would prefer the woman stay pre op. If she was his significant other that might change, as he would be most concerned with her ultimate happiness, but there too he may be fearful that she may leave him after she gets GRS.

Yep, I am referring to you. Sorry I was on my cell typing and neglected to add the appropriate Quote. TS Sexy Chanel is dearly missed here too though, as her post are always much appreciated too.
