Obviously, gender transition is not easy. In some ways it is outrageously tough, and tougher still according to challenges of an individual nature...age, finances, emotional health, existing physical features, family, responsibilities... Etc
To make this attractive in real terms, it must be something truly needed.
Of all the factors, one that stands out and is often neglected in planning is financial cost.
Here are some figures given by just one transwoman for her yet ongoing changes:
Electrolysis (still ongoing) 15,797.85
Airfare-Gas-Travel 4,244.35
Hotels 1,211.64
Incidentals 1,631.00
GRS 19,963.84
FFS 20,053.00
BA 6,100.00
TUMMY TUCK 8,991.00
Voice, Makeup,
Deportment Training 975.00
Therapy 1,505.00
Personal Care 2,651.50
Medical & Prescriptions 3,844.25
Wigs / Hair Systems 5,675.00
Clothing 11,021.00
TOTAL 103,664.43
It struck me as interesting that the highest amount on this list was that for FFS (Facial feminization Surgery)
So, in light of these costs, and everything else, how badly do you want it?
