OP, what did you think you would gain by coming on a forum like this where everyone's opinion is already fully formed and unshakable, and listen to them try to justify and validate their established prejudices?

I understand your reasoning. Problem is there are some real nuts out there who hurt people and some knowingly spread disease.

Prostitution is incredibly risky, which is why I don't like my niece doing it.

She worked in a brothel, but still...

Lotta wierdos out there.

PS Op she doesn't do it any more, decided being broke was preferable.

I'm going to be homeless. Not just broke. So yeah I'll be exposed to those dangers anyway. I won't do it forever

Yes, but the supportive ones are also just reflecting their own prejudice. Few have offered any sound and guiding reasoning, nor explored the issue of morality vis-a-vis sex professions. This is just a hot-button morality issue.

People will even pay to watch you wash your floor - bizarre.

Amy,

I'd like to follow up on this post. This may be a safer option for you. As I expressed previously, the most important thing is that you keep yourself safe and take pride in what you do. Despite being transgendered, you've identified that your body is now fully female. There are quite a few women that are making money from doing "cam shows", where they do live streams from a bedroom. Some will even have sex with the camera rolling, but unlike prostitution they are choosing precisely whom they invite into their room. The benefit to this is very simple, it prevents the random (potentially STD filled) strange penises. Yeah, that felt weird to type...

I just wanted to bring this up because it is a legitimate option for making money and it can be done with almost zero risk. I'm just worried about you getting an STD or being physically abused by a jerk. I hope you'll look into it as an alternative option.

She already set her mind up, I think. She has some friends in the profession to guide it through. I hope she's successful in her pursuit of happiness.

If you want to be a prostitute you don't need morality or mental stability.
But you should have a mouth, a vagina, and a rectum.
And a Pimp.
