It seems like every trans woman is either a professional of some kind (usually in STEM), or homeless. And that terrifies me.

I wasted my college days. I majored in history, only to learn that the only real path for that is teaching, which I am absolutely not cut out for. So since then I’ve been doing unskilled labor. Right now I’m making a decent wage, around 23 an hour, and can barely afford my cheap apartment I just moved out of my mom’s place for because of my bad spending habits.

I want so badly to move to a city with other queer people but I’m scared I’m gonna end up homeless and dying because I’m not strong or smart enough.
