H-m-m-m This thread is going in several directions at once.

I'm one of those responsible ones. I wouldn't be on the run from the law. I'm not being willing to become a criminal.

I would LOVE to live as a woman, but it's not realistic for me. Nobody would ever believe it. Now if LOTS of money and doctors were provided...

30% pay cut? While I figure that basic number fails to take into account a lot of factors, let's play with it...

(playing the "what if" game, and buying into the gender stereotypes for the moment)
will I be able to have men pay for my dinner, etc. on dates?
Can I move in with them, letting them pay the mortgage/rent?
Will men buy me drinks if I go to a bar?
Can I get boyfriends/husbands to get me Jewelry?
Clothes?

Would all these womanly "perks" come with the pay cut?

OK - back to reality -
If I could truly live as a woman, I'd happily find a career and lifestyle that I could live with. If it's less or more money wouldn't be the point. It would be the life.
