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.

Hello, thanks for the reply.

1. I'm not sure what trans-amorous hobbyists having fewer providers to choose from has anything to do with the lower rates and hostile attitude about relatively low rates in the TS escort community.

2. Ok valid, but what does that have to do with the concerns I raised? Are you saying that the influx of scammers makes clients want to pay less across the board? Like I said, I agree that trans escorts do need to do better overall.

3. Didn't you just complain about baiting and switching? I personally believe that a la carte upcharges are tacky and don't utilize them in my business, but I also do not top or promise that I'll cum for every client. I believe that TS tops who cum for their clients should just have a higher base rate with no upcharges, but hobbyists probably be upset about the increasing prices regardless.  

4. This is something I agree with. The onus is on trans escorts to stop misleading clients to get them through the door and just be 100% genuine about what they're willing and able to do.

My main issue with the trans escort market in the my area (NYC/NJ) in specific. Is the number of crossdressers with poor wigs and sloppy makeup charging $300–$400 per hour. It’s becoming ridiculous. Overall, I’ve noticed the average quality has been declining in my area, I can't speak to other regions.  

 
You're hyper-fixating on the price, my point I'm addressing is more about the quality of the escort. I've done sessions with many Tgirls who charge $500 - $800 an hour. Some were worth it, some weren't. I did a session with TS Suzie XXL who charged me $600 for 30-40 mins, I didn't haggle once even though the price was ridiculously high. Why didn't I price haggle? She was attractive to me & had a massive cock that's super rare to find. I had a great time with her.  

 
I personally don’t price haggle. I’ll simply ask if a Tgirl is willing to meet at a certain rate, and in most cases (9 out of 10) they agree without issue. If they’re not, we just part ways politely — no hard feelings.
