Living in the sewer, but being cis or having everything except transition?

Living in the sewer, but being cisgender
Having everything you wants except transition (May be rich if you wants to)

What would you choice and why? Please comments your reason why you did take your choice.

A. Living in the sewer, but being cis.
You would be born cisgender, but have to be poor rest of your life from you are born to you die. You have to live in a sewer rest of your life without any electricity or modern toilets. You have to find your own ways to getting foods and other basic needs as well. How much knowledge you have about the transgender issues depends about choices you takes through your life. You aren't born with knowledge, you have to gain them.

B. Having everything you wants and everything you needs (Can be rich, famous, love, job, charity organization etc.), except socially and medical transition.
You have everything you wants in life except medically or socially transition. You can't public transition and nobody can know about your trans status. You have to live with the wrong sex characteristics from you're born to you die. If you're rich, you can't buy transition. Cosmetic surgeries like many celebrities takes doesn't count as transition like nose jobs, as long it doesn't makes you transition "properly" to become your true self in public. You can still hanging out on forums, as long you're anonymous and nobody can find out who you're.

Shout out to iiMTF for inventing this dilemma. Original: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,172782.0.html
I made a new one, so new Susan's Place members has the opportunities to tell their opinions as well. By the way, the original one talking about being homeless, but this is a bit different. This is about living in a sewer. If you doesn't know how sewer condition is, you can google it. :)

B.

There really is no contest. You're saying live in a sewer you cannot ever leave, probably diseased and starving, without any kind of amenities or luxuries versus every need BUT transition taken care of?

Uh, yeah. I dislike my body but I'd live with it to avoid the sewer, whether or not I got a luxurious life. I'd probably not survive past a month in some feces-filled warren anyway without galloping e-coli infection. What kind of "life" would I have in a sewer?

Ditto.

I read this earlier, and my first thought was that limited to these two options, I'd be checking my pockets for a 25 cent piece.
Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

Exactly what I'm thinking too. :) I would also pick B. I made this sewer-twist to see how people would respond. It's difference between being classical homeless and living in a sewer. You can go out of the sewer when hunting for food and doing your business. But you have to live in the sewer if you choice that alternative.
