I first found this trans mag when I was at the Red & Black Cafe in Portland, OR - http://www.originalplumbing.com/ . It was the hair issue (on manscaping) and I found it interesting. Ended up keeping the copy I took as I accidentally spilled coffee all over it, and in a few minutes they'd replaced it with a new one haha.

Anyway, my family and I are extremely low on cash right now, to the point where there is not much food in the house and much uncertainty. OP is always looking for models, I guess, as they are interested in different experiences and representations of trans guys. Since I saw the magazine two years ago I wondered if someday I'd want to do it, after I had begun transitioning. I am happy with how my body is at this time and can pass without a shirt, although I doubt myself sometimes. I do incline bench presses almost every day and have been for a while, and I am developing more definable pecs.

I am considering doing this, to be a part of the magazine and also because we really need money. But at the same time I am wondering if it will be traceable (which is likely) back to me, for future job background checks. My name has been changed for about three years and there's an M on my ID and everything, and people do not question my gender. What do you guys think?

Also I hope that wasn't too much to read. Thanks everyone.

I'm not sure if they pay you to model.

If you're strapped for cash you can always sell your plasma. It won't be much but it will be enough to put some food on the table until things get better.

how do you sell you plasma cant you only donate?

In most cities there are plasma "donation" centers (don't go to the Red Cross, they do not pay for it). As an incentive to get people to come in they pay you.

My gf did it for a year or so when we were hit hard financially (they wouldn't take mine because of my cancer). If I remember right she could do it twice a week and made $30 or $40 each donation.

Look up a center in your area and give them a call. Each place probably pays a little differently.

In my area they don't pay you to donate plasma. They have like a points system or something.
