I want to be a shemale.

[Guest]

curious

Hi Sharry,

Being an escort is not what i ever dreamed of becoming. The money is good only when it's there, for most escorts. There are lots of competition.

You only talk about how much money you could earn as a shemale escort, and you don't mention being a girl inside.

If you want to be an escort and you are a male, you can be a gay escort for men.
Gay men are usually richer than straight men as gays normally don't have the usual wife and kids expenses to deal with. The work is pretty much the same but there is less preparation time as a gay escort - no make up, no fiddling around with stocking and bra clips, and it's cheaper as a gay escort because there's no expensive electrolysis or laser hair removal treatments, and you don't have to go out and buy outfits and jewelry and boots and shoes.

Straight men have wives and kids.

So if it's only the money you're after and you are a young, skinny, twink type of guy, i would suggest that you could get yourself into the gay porn industry. From what i undertsand, a three or four hour porn filming could be worth a few thousand dollars.
You have introduced yourself as a male a couple of times, so far.

Being a shemale is something you will have to deal with being in public, and if you self-identify as a male, it won't be easy for you to live as a shemale.

Sharry, how old are you? How tall are you and how much do you weigh?
And where do you live?...in a big city or small town?

Babe,
xoxo

Well I dont think in that way. I dont wanna be rich. Actually this is what I want to be. I want to be an escort because I like to have sex with strangers. And if I can earn through it. There is nothing bad.

Ya, ok, I'm a big enough man to admit when I've made a mistake. That being said, I apologize to you Sharry for accusing you of being a minor, but you did manage to throw up a red flag for a few of us! Listen to Alexis, first and foremost as she knows what she is talking about with regards to this industry and what it takes to go through transition. With regards to my judgement on your grammar.... It still sucks! My suggestion is that you go get an education and properly apply those skills here as I have seen many posters get blasted for shooting text type posts. A great deal of the escorts on this forum are well educated and have planned for life after escorting. Alexis, I completely agree with the downhill slide of today's youth and their ability to communicate effectively. I honestly fear the next generation of the workforce. Although I'm still not 100% convinced, I'll eat a little crow on this one( better with ketchup) as it's not the first time I've made a mistake, won't be the last either

Wow one non-sensical response in 24hrs and we are convinced? LOL. Well maybe not 12 but I'm still leaning toward minor ! Definitely has not thought anything through other than raging teen hormones saying "Me likey sex!" But sure why not the porn sites are full of young gay twinks, who throw on a wig and a little makeup and call themselves T-girls! But all the guys luv 'em because all you need is a big juicy cock to gag them with and bend them over and fuck them with (hope you like the look and smell of shit on your dick cuz these gay dimwits have no clue how their own anatomy functions!).But all good as you have a wig on and some lipstick on so they can tell themselves they are not gay. You will make lots of money and can get yourself boobs and make even more and again the boobs are just there as soothers for gay men to look at and then ignore as they beg you to gag them with your dick and fuck their "virgin asses" .Don't waste your time with psychologists as you have already clearly identified your self as a male , who wants to be a "she" male which is a testosterone driven male with boobs. Real TG women have a hard enough time getting into see the necessary specialists to get their hormone therapy started and their eventual approval for SRS without the waiting lists being backlogged with guys, who have no intention of completing their transition and who think that what they see in today's "shemale" porn even remotely resembles what real TG women want.

Not so fast

I did say that I wasn't completely convinced as we shouldn't confuse uneducated from youth. Blue?? Really!! C'mon give me a fighting chance to not puke ha ha

[Guest]

Have you got a hat?

Hi rider,

Maybe you should have said that you'd eat your hat instead of eat crow.

Babe,
xoxo

[rider014]

Yummy!

Got a Chinese food joint in town here, don't see any crows flying around there.... No cats either I don't wear hats Babe, they assist in the whole balding thing, and considering that pretty much the only hair on my body is on the ol melon, gotta salvage that for as long as I can

[Guest]

Check the menu

Hi Rider,

There's an old expression that goes, "You'll never see a cat in Chinatown".
And it's true. It's very rare.

There is another saying that goes, "Any animal that shows its back to the sun is fair game to a Cantonese chef."

No crows, eh? Look at the menus and reconsider the poultry dishes.

Babe,
xoxo

Could be more like this.



Babe,

[TSFantasia]

Babe,

LOL no shortage of those either

So what is your priority? To be a "shemale" or to be an "escort"?

[Shyla Wild]

Do not feed trolls

So what is your priority? To be a "shemale" or to be an "escort"?

Neither....This person is nothing more than a sex fiend. His goal is not to transition, nor to become an escort, nor is it to make money. This person wants to have sex with strangers which he believes being an escort or transsexual will make happen easier.

See...

Do yourself a favour, walk away from this fantasy before you hurt yourself or worse. Transsexuals struggle each day to not be seen as sex objects, babble like this does nothing but bring us back to square one.

Shyla, I wanted to get the words out of the mouth of the "troll". You ruined it for me
I said it earlier it is a stupid question just looking at how it was framed. But, there are plenty of people like this in the real world.

The worst examples are the ones who told me that they are passable and when I asked how they gauged that, they said that they have tried dressing up in the Halloween and passed.

Hi guyz I am male but I want to be shemale. I don't know what to do.

Wish I could be a really pretty shemale and 20 so I could share the truest of in love, in lust kisses hug and hold with a pretty girl dick. Oh,only in heaven? ok. Back to my life size rubber doll...Im joking.

Look Before You Leap!

Just some info off another non-escort/porn TG Board. Not taking the original poster as being serious but there are a lot of guys , young and old, who let their CD fetish get out of control and imagine that being a "she"male is the way to go and find out too late what the reality is. So unless a person does have the actually potential to be a successful escort/porn star (and who would want to make that their life goal anyways?) the picture can be pretty bleak. The stats may be better in other countries, as these are US stats and some dated, but not by a great margin.


"The transitioning process also needs a warning label--a few of them, actually:

CAUTION: Only 27% of male-to-female transsexuals form lasting romantic partnerships. This means that you are 73% likely to go the rest of your life without a lasting romantic partner, male OR female, if you live as a woman.

(Source: The Great Divide (How Females & Males Really Differ) by Daniel Evan Weiss, drawn from data originally appearing in Archives of Sexual Behavior, December 1988 issue.)

73%. That's almost three-quarters. Wow. Odds are better for female-to-male transsexuals (57% get into lasting relationships), but the risk is still high. If having a relationship is important to you, I would advise against it. Your chances may be pretty bad as it is, but this will make them worse. Your odds are much better if you continue to present as a feminine man (or a masculine woman). Things may be slightly better now (after all, that was 20 years ago), but given all the stories I hear of transsexuals whose partners dump them in favor of non-transsexuals, it seems unlikely to me.

If you are already in a long-term relationship, then consider this:

WARNING: Only 10% of marriages last after one partner transitions. If you are married and you transition, there is a 90% chance that you will divorce. Even if you don't, your relationship will almost certainly become nonsexual.

(Source: My Husband Betty by Helen Boyd)

Tolerance has nothing to do with it. Even Kate Bornstein, the famous "gender outlaw" who wrote a book about how gender is nothing more than an artificially constructed class system (Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us--I recommend that you read it), broke off a relationship because her partner was transitioning from female to male. I suspect that most who stay together do so because the non-transitioning partner feels obligated to do so.

Even if you find someone after transitioning or are celibate, it's still dangerous:

DANGER: 21% of male-to-female transsexuals attempt suicide, because they regret transitioning. One male-to-female transsexual every month is killed in the United States, and many more are seriously injured by violent crime. This means you are more than 4 times as likely to be killed than the general population. If this happens to you, it is far more likely to be at the hands of a date, coworker, or friend than a stranger. It will not be classified as a hate crime.

(The suicide statistic comes from the same Archives of Sexual Behavior article as the statistic about relationships. It is unknown whether that statistic still holds, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did. The other statistic comes from the Human Rights Campaign.)

Do you really want your name to end up here? Or here? Do you really want to live in constant danger, unable to trust anyone? It is estimated that there are 50,000 male-to-female transsexuals in the United States. Thus, by my calculations, each one of them has about a 1 in 4,000 chance of being killed within the next year. By contrast, 1 in 6,000 Americans die in a car accident each year. Thus, if you become a transsexual, you'll be more likely to be injured or die by violence than in a car accident.

This means that the annual rate at which male-to-female transsexuals are murdered is 24 per 100,000. According to the World Almanac, as of 2000, the murder rate in the United States overall was 5.5 per 100,000 inhabitants. In Washington, D.C., the murder rate was 41.8 per 100,000. 24 per 100,000 isn't quite that high, but the message is clear: You might as well move to a bad neighborhood. I don't know about you, but I don't even go out at night alone in a good neighborhood--and I avoid bad neighborhoods at all hours.

This may be a conservative estimate. The Human Rights Campaign claims that 1 out of every 12 visibly transgendered women (i.e. those who are obviously biologically male, but present as female) in the United States will die by murder. By contrast, the average person has about a one in 18,000 chance of being murdered. Though this figure is probably skewed by the small sample size, it does provide food for thought. According to the Transgender Law Center, 60% of all "transwomen" are subjected to hate crimes because of their gender presentation. Some studies show that as many as 80% of the transsexual population (both male-to-female and female-to-male) has been physically assaulted, 80% have feared for their lives or well being, and 50% have been sexually assaulted. (Look those figures up if you don't believe me.)

Even worse, hate crimes are on the rise. According to the FBI, the most common targets are now homosexual, transgendered, or transsexual. And because hormones take a while to work, unless you're lucky enough to look like your target gender, you will probably be read as your birth sex quite a bit for a while.

Jenelle Rose gives this warning, regarding the Remembering Our Dead memorial:

"There is no "safe way" to be transgendered: as you look at the many names collected here, note that some of these people may have identified as drag queens, some as heterosexual cross dressers, and some as transsexuals. Some were living very out lives, and some were living fully �stealth� lives. Some were identifying as male, and some, as female. Some lived in small towns, and some in major metropolitan areas."

So, don't think you can get around the danger. You can't. Not even if you move to a really liberal area. Gwen Araujo lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, and she was killed for being transsexual. Even being in a relationship with a transsexual can be dangerous; Pfc. (Private first class) Barry Winchell was beaten to death for being in a relationship with Calpernia Addams, a male-to-female transsexual, on the grounds that the relationship was homosexual. However, he was not attracted to men; he liked pretty women and accepted her as a woman. This may be one reason why male-to-female transsexuals often don't develop long-term relationships.

Even if you survive:

CAUTION: In 39 states, it is still perfectly legal to fire or refuse to hire someone for being transsexual. If you transition, you risk chronic unemployment and may be forced to take low-paying jobs to survive even if you live in one of the other 11 states.

("39 states" is the statistic quoted by proponents of adding a law against discrimination based on gender presentation to the proposed Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act.)

You can be fired from any occupation for transitioning; a university professor in Michigan was fired for transitioning, on the grounds that it goes against "Biblical principles." (Funny, I thought the Bible said, "If your right eye offends you, cast it out." Shouldn't that extend to other body parts as well

The San Francisco Bay Area is well-known for being liberal. However, a survey done by the Transgender Law Center shows that 75 percent of openly transgendered people (that is, those who live as their target gender) in the San Francisco Bay Area--which is known for being liberal--don't have full-time employment. 58 percent make less than $15,333 a year. (Source: San Francisco Bay Guardian, Vol. 40, No. 24, Mar. 15-21, 2005)

Here are the statistics, from the same article:

INCOME, ANNUAL:
Less than $15,299: 59%
$15,300�$30,599: 13%
$30,600�$45,899: 13%
$45,900�$61,199: 4%
More than $61,200: 4%

SOURCES OF INCOME:
Full-time work: 25%
Part-time work: 16%
Street economy: 20%

SUFFERED EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION: 57%

COMMON TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION:
Hiring discrimination: 40%
Sexual harassment: 24%
Verbal harassment: 22%
Denied promotion: 19%
Termination: 18%
Health coverage issues: 11%"

This is conjunction with a few other factors is why I don't ever go to the USA..

And ya.. it's a hard life..

Especially for those of us who aren't 100% passable as genetic females..

If you're going to transition.. you cannot live in fear..

If you do live in fear.. you aren't really living..
