Would a TS escorting rule out romance?

You can be a tgirl and have a legal career (remember, prostitution is illegal in some areas) and earn your money legitimately. A few other tgirl friends of mine agree that when people begin to accept escorting, it does nothing to get girls out of it.

It's nice that we can look past what people do, but honestly, the chances for STDs are high, the chances of having a dangerous encounter with a client are high, and it's a risky business. It's better to encourage our fellow tgirls to try and make something of themselves instead of falling into the much stereotyped role of "tranny prostitute". It makes those of us who are trying to break through that caricature frustrated!

That's an easy story to tell, especially coming from a faceless nameless person who claims to be TS living the life. Maybe you should read my story, you will see I was in senior real estate management for over 10 years. I did what few TS can do and when I finally made the transition was booted out again and again. Fired five times in six years. It finally dawned on me that being an escort was easier and better. Yes, better. Being an escort is not a bad job. In fact, it's better than any other job I've had and I've had good jobs. My story is an excellent benchmark for measurinhg the level of tolerance society has for TS.

STD's, drugs, those are easy ways to dismiss the industry. Fact is we provide a service. There are frustrated married guys all over the world dying for a half hour with a TS alone on a couch. So an attractive TS sees that opportunity and then sees the other side of the fence- a world where virtually no TS has ever held a high level position of authority. We dont get those jobs. That's why it is an easy lure if you're TS to becoming an escort. That's the only thing you've said I agree with.

Umm. You don't have to believe that I'm actually a TS who isn't a prostitute, but I am, and it saddens me that you are so blinded by your own delusions that you cannot see that there are actually quite a few successful Transsexual women working as doctors, lawyers, even my friend works for PR and has had plenty of success.

You're not measuring the tolerance for TS, you're measuring the acceptance of prostitution. You're doing our community a disservice by promoting escorting, because as you said before, men want to be alone with us for a half hour or so, but where is our actual worth in society? In a bed with dollar bills being flung at is? Do you measure yours in clientele? I measure mine in knowing I'm getting an education and maintaining some dignity, as well as breaking the barriers society as created for us.

PS: The old "Pretty Woman Prostitute with a Heart of Gold" fairy tale is nice in theory, but doesn't work out in reality.

Don't trip on the soapbox.

Your so high and mighty ideals aren't quite so high and your lowly view of prostitution isn't as low as you say. You are making the most obvious, most easy to refute argument one can make regarding prostitution. Find some depth to your thought process and then I can engage you seriously.

Good luck with your high ideals, they don't go along very well with your nameless faceless profile. Easy to shout it out from behind your computer.
