In The Life: Beauty on the Black Market

For transgender women who are low income, the ability to 'pass' as a female can make the difference in being able to simply get a job, put food on the table or avoid the very real threat of violence. The stakes are higher for trans-women and some women will go to some pretty extreme measures to enhance their feminine appearance. In this episode's final segment, In the Life explores this important health issue for the trans community.

Ok, the intro was sensitive, factual etc. UNTIL the part where he says "Not all transgendered ppl want to change their bodies"....ummm, 'scuse me? Isn't that what being trans is all about? Silly. Because I don't care what nobody say, there ain't no such thing as "natural beauty"!!

@SmoothCinnamonX msvamplatex ~ I disagree, I know many trans women with no cosmetic surgery who are naturally beautiful. Being trans does not mean you HAVE to modify your body. Society has made us believe that in order 2 be accepted as women we need to modify our bodies to be socially acceptable. Not only do I know many Trans women w/ no surgery with natural beauty, I also know plenty of trans women w/ surged beauty.

@SmoothCinnamonX ~ Not every trans woman chooses to modify their bodies...I as the poster of this video agree with his statement.

Just FYI....Those of you who want to use this as a platform of negativity, ignorance and discrimination will be filtered out. That is a gaurantee do not waste my time or yours!

Ive had my silicone stay soft, never moved and has been lovely for over 20 years, I love it! Face, hips,ass and breast work. Never have had a problem, why? Small amounts over years and a good silicone product, trust and know your quote doctor!

So what silicone are they injecting?

if thats silicone caulk then it hardens very fast and should not leak anywhere. However I am puzzled how it is possible to bear hardening process, because it produces vinegar which will ho into bloodstream and ma damage surrounding cells.

injecting silicone oil seems like most stupid thing to do ever since that is nastiest substance on earth.

dual component silicone should be completely safe because it hardens safely and will not leak or move anywhere.

@TheOowaoowa Not so much "leave trans people alone" but understand and accept them and all others. Why are others so concerned about those who are not like them...they do not understand the concept of the rainbow at all that there are so many different shades of human beings in this huge world and it would be a much more beautiful place to live if everyone could smile at one another and try to lift them up rather then tear them down.

Peace and Love to you, to us all.

@jjmick9 Amen to "stop the hate" ! Why are others so concerned about those who are not like them...they do not understand the concept of the rainbow at all that there are so many different shades of human beings in this huge world and it would be a much more beautiful place to live if everyone could smile at one another and try to lift them up rather then tear them down.
