It sounds like a fairly easy job to you right now but there will be guys who don't want just sex - they will talk down to you, offend you, maybe even hurt you, hit you, choke, ..... there are lots of freaks out there, not just harmless horny dudes wanting to get off.
I'm doing it through dating sites at the moment. Guys message me for "fun" well I tell them I'll do it if they pay me. I'm not planning on standing on street corners just yet. I may be meeting one guy on Saturday. I don't know why I didn't think of it before instead of delete the messages. And I may have shrunk on hormones and lost a lot of strength, but I can still throw a punch if it comes to that. I'm pretty damn tough.

Also, as a transsexual person, you may well be at an even higher risk than a cis person for being the victim of violence/a hate crime in this particular line of work.
I would try to get another job additional to the sexual job if possible, even if it is very low waged.
So you don't have to rely on it completely and it gives you the luxury of being able to choose the guys. Once you get desperate and get in the car with guys who look shady and you ignore your gut feeling because the money is too tempting, sh$t happens.
I don't know that from experience nor have I ever been in that business but I watched a lot of documentaries. Not sure if that counts.
I have a novel idea. Get off your lazy rump and get a job.
Some people cant keep jobs.
OP says they have mental health issues and possible homelessness. Both of these are MAJOR hurdles in leading the sort of Regular Life you recommend.
Some of us (me) could get 100 jobs, tomorrow - but be utterly unable to keep any of them. Its like expecting a cancer patient to pull themselves together, without treatment or support, and get back to the grindstone.
I am not against prostitution. I am for it. I believe it is not something that is wrong. Sexual needs and impulses are not wrong. It is a vice that should be regulated and taxed like any other.
With that said your desperation is a guiding factor. Never a good choice. Doesn't mean it wont turn out well for you. Many a woman in her times of desperation ended up in a strip club, porn industry, or hooking in your situation. Some of them it liberates them and will give you an avenue towards success and even financial security. Eventually moving on to a different and even stable life.
With that said though... A lot more have been gobbled up and ended up worse. The illegal nature of the business is what leads to most the terror. It's cliche. It is true though.
Anyway here's the thing I do not know UK hooker laws. A lot of Europe is legal or semi legal where you can be safe. Belgium and Netherlands comes to mind. Maybe you need to do a couple of good jobs and get out of dodge to where it's regulated or a major city in the UK.
HERES WHY.
Say you start hooking and post on CL or dating site in your area. One of the johns who is a local perv says "hey pimp daddy that new girl amy. She one of yours? " He doesn't know you and wtf are you doing hooking on his turf.
That will probably be your first real bad date. You may be making 100 to 200 for your private tricks. Not anymore though. He'll give you 60 per trick and keep you on the street 14 hours a day. Not to mention what you owe him. To make sure you know he is serious a good right hook to your mouth will put things in prospective. Not to mention his friend here big John he's gonna break ya in real nice. Straight to the A and he doesn't like to use lube.
If your business is not government regulated. It will be street regulated. If your gonna do this be smart about it! Go to a strip joint, go to burlesque joint, massage parlor etc. Like vetting for any real job. Talk to people. Working for yourself is the way it should be unfortunately it's not always the way it is.
Girls who do independent hooking/escort work or out of the clubs. They have it a lot better. The main reason for this is they pay the taxes to the right people scumlord pimp daddy doesnt comes barking up your tree. He already knows to keep his tail between his legs and keep walking because bigger meaner doggies are going to have your back.
IF your doing this do it right, get yourself some management make some real arraignments. Be safe with it. May it work out for the best.
There is crappy thing about America, sex workers are not treated well and prostitution is illegal.
