The rates that trans escorts charge are already nearly half of what bio female escorts charge, on top of our client base being a lot smaller since most men are not attracted to trans women. If we have fewer opportunities to see clients than cis escorts, we should actually be charging more to supplement the potential income we're losing based on our identity. I'm not advocating for this to become a reality; I'm just using logic and bringing something that you may not have considered to your attention.

Clients of TS escorts also tend not to be loyal regulars who provide reliable/guaranteed monthly income to their ATFs, the way a lot of clients who see cis escorts are. After reading here for several months, the verdict is that most trans-attracted hobbyists see a trans provider once or twice before moving on. Nothing wrong with that, but it does impact the market. Why shouldn't we charge more if our income is so unpredictable and subject to drop?

I 100% agree with some of you that the quality of many trans escorts is quite bad and we need to improve on a lot of things as a community, but I can't lie, it is quite bewildering to see unconventionally attractive bio female escorts charge $600-1k+ an hour and stay booked and busy with with zero complaints from clients about their rates, while clients who see trans escorts start complaining and talking shit when you charge over $300. I genuinely want to understand why some of you have a problem with the already relatively low rates in the TS escort market. Is the quality THAT bad? What would you like to see change?

The price point for a genetic or cis female has little to do with a trans provider. Trans providers routinely make more than genetic male or cis male escorts who is advocating for them? This is an apples to oranges comparison. Ultimately; both genetic or cis females and trans females in the USA have been their own worst enemy, some bad apples, didn't spoil the milk but definitely soured it. If you're trying to use logic, you may need to look at this subject from outside in, not from your own perspective.

I disagree that comparing the rates of bio women to trans women in the escort world is comparing apples to oranges. Many of the men patronizing trans escorts also see cis escorts and I can’t imagine that the median income and net worth of trans-attracted hobbyists is much different than that of hobbyists who only see natural born women.  

As far as your point about male escorts, their market is even smaller since women have no problem getting free sex and gay men have a thriving hookup culture that gives them access to a good amount of free sex as well. They’re in a completely different game that can’t be compared to ours. I don’t see how an outside perspective is better than someone who’s in the industry with a firsthand view of what’s being addressed. I can also put myself in clients’ shoes and still feel the same way.

There's a lot of issues with your post.

1.  You have a smaller pool of clients, but we have an even smaller variety of providers
2.  I can't speak for every city, but 80% of the escort ads in my city are either providers who don't perform as promised, scammers, or bait and switch.  
3.  If a hobbyist is a bottom, and desires a TS provider to be a top who "finishes" he's going to pay the hourly donation plus an upcharges of 50 - 100% for the provider to cum.  
4.  Since you pay up front, what happens when the provider can't get hard?  Whatbhappens when you pay for GFE and she then says it doesn't include DFK or BBBJ?

I could go on and on, but I would sincerely be interested in your responses to my Qs.
