Oh and a few other downsides:
- suicide rates are much higher for ts than the general population
- insurance higher or unavailable
- Accessing housing. Prejudice
- job market restricted, again prejudice
oh and in case you lot didn't know
- most "Day-1 women" do not look like models, porn stars, dream fantasy dates. so, by extrapolation, most ts look like the majority of "Day-1 women" ie. NOTHING AT ALL LIKE THE FANTASY.
I got lucky & never faced any of the things I list, above.
But I've friends & acquaintances who have
I work successfully in in Adult sex industry.
My looks are mainly genetics & luck.
If I knew my appearance would be like the majority of women, then my career path would have to be very different.
But I absolutely would have transitioned.....Its so much easier not having to fake being a man.
