>>8722Edit: Transitioning when you are poor can, however, work if you have a good starting point. That is why, for example, so many ladyboys are in Thailand, which is a very poor country, because Thai people are very androgynous by nature. By the way, Thailand is actually the prime example for OPs point - you don't see a lot of FTMs in Thailand, I don't think I have ever seen or heard about one, but MTFs are so common, they're one of the first things people think about.
By the way, what I said earlier that your starting point affects your chances of getting out of poverty by transitioning - shows that feminity itself is a very valuable resource, you cannot really be poor if you are feminine, not in the same sense and to the same extent as a poor man.
Bringing this up usually make a certain demographic absolutely lose it and foam at the mouth, so I'm not sure how long this post will stay here.
