Back in the day before even hormones were covered anywhere, it was pretty uncommon for me to find other trans women who never did it (Sex work) at some point in their lives, and not the other way around. Because transition is expensive and well... chasers might not respect you but you also don't really have to worry about them turning you away like a regular job could.

This is from the first comment. It's pretty telling that he is saying before trans became fashionable and hormones easily available, in other words, back when it was just people who REALLY wanted to switch genders and weren't just dabbling in a trendy subculture, it was almost all sex workers.

Not true. You can't take this one individual's personal recollections as reflective of the whole population in the past. It might be largely true of TIMs who are gay - particularly black, Latino and other minority ethnic TIMs from very homophobic subcultures in countries like USA, South and Central America, the Caribbean. And of gay TIMs in East Asia (Thailand, the Philippines, other countries). And of gay TIMs like Paris Lees in the UK.

But it's not true for a majority of TIMs in the US, Canada and the UK. Going back to the 60s and 70s, most TIMs have always been white, well-educated, well-off men who achieved great success in work, and who married and fathered children, before "transitioning" in middle age. Jan Morris, Renee Richards, Martine Rothblatt, Marci Bowers, Erica Anderson, Rachel Levine, Jennifer Finney Boylan, the guy who just became "the highest winning woman on Jeopardy" are all typical. None of these guys ever did sex work!
