I couldn't help but think about Jazz Jennings when I read your reply. Unless Jennings can turn his "trans celebrity" into full time trans work, I can't imagine that he's not going to seriously flounder. I guess he can work as an lgbt rights person on the university level? Of course, he's got to get through college to do that, and who knows when he'll be emotionally well enough to handle college.

Jazz Jennings is absolutely heartbreaking, that child never had a chance. Whole life ruined because "she" played with dolls at age 3. The whole family is fucked -- mom is blatant MBP, dad is too cowardly/busy with work to protect his kid, other siblings are chopped liver (Jazz even said he expected to use his sister's womb to give birth to a child for him). Jazz has never felt sexual desire and will never be able to orgasm, and he has to take hormones for the rest of his life. I haven't kept up with the chop job updates (bit too much for me to stomach) but IIRC the surgically constructed hole was infected/collapsing, because the puberty blockers and cross sex hormones meant he never developed an adult penis so they had to take skin from all over other parts of his body to construct his """vagina"""... Even child beauty pageant girls get to grow up and move on one day! How is this blatant child abuse filmed and celebrated? Are people horror watching like those shows about hoarders or 600 pound obese people?

Yup, the plight of many celebrity kids trans or not
