I was recently reading a story about a transgendered man who was fired from his job for being transgendered. Unfortunately this kind of discrimination against the transgendered is all too common. I’ve read many more stories online about transgendered people who are struggling to find work, a few months ago I wrote about a former mayor who was fired for being transgendered. Not only do we bear the high cost of therapy to come to terms with who we are, but should we decide to transition to another gender we would spend upwards of $20,000 to become the woman of our dreams. Then on top of that we face discrimination from employers.
The situation is improving, as more transgendered people are being elected, but for most of us the prospect of losing our jobs and our livelihoods looms large. And this happens at a time when we are most vulnerable, our support network – friends and family, may have abandoned us. Recovering from surgery, alone and scarred, we face the daunting possibility of being out of work.
So what can we do about it?
One of my other passions in life is helping people find a profitable home based business that will provide a stable additional income. I hesitate to share this with readers of Cross Dresser Heaven, because you didn’t come here to find out about business opportunities or ways to improve your financial situation. Tonight as I read Ethan’s story, new rules that make it difficult for the transgendered to find jobs and the lengths some transsexuals go to survive my heart breaks.
If only we had a second income stream that wasn’t dependent on the whims of our employer, we could transition without fearing for our livelihood. I encourage you to find out how to create multiple streams of income by visiting the Million Mind Intensive Seminar. If you would like more information about starting your own home based business, please contact me and I will help you find the right opportunity.
With love,
Vanessa
All I ever wanted was to be female. So I am a MTF transexual in serious need of medical help both physical and mental. At poverty level I am condemned to continue this lie that I am a man. If I had the money I would spend it without hesitation. How dare the U.S. specifically disqualify us in the Americans with Disabilities Act.
I know a transgendered person that is looking for a job where she will be able to liver her life as her and not, for name reasons, have to live her life as her former self. I cannot find any websites that offer any real assistance in finding a solution, or at least help, for her situation. Is there anywhere that you can suggest for her to find what she needs to help in her finanical situation, i.e, help to find an accepting job?
[...] spoke about the financial plight of the transgendered a few months ago, urging financial help for the transgendered – and that we take our financial health into our own hands. While I believe those who are able [...]
