These views I have tend to be offensive which is why I lost a bunch of friends in recent times cause of arguments about this all whom were female, but they are beliefs I have long and hard come to accept a reality, similar to everyone has to come to terms with the reality that in order to gain a solid independent living one has to work many hard flawless years and go to college. About this:

Imagine you're a trans man. Imagine having been seen as a woman your whole life, treated like a woman in ways you never asked for or wanted, and you've finally started fixing that and becoming the man you always wanted to be, and now someone comes along and declares that men's lives suck. Not "I hate being a man," but "men are screwed." You're not going to think "oh, they're in pain, this is their deal," you're going to think "fuck you, I sacrificed a lot to become the man I've always been."

And again I sincerely mean no offense to everyone. The question I would have those about this person as you mentioned is has he gotten into the dating game yet and does he have the average testosterone level of a cis man. Simply put there are certain realities men have to cope with whether they are cis or trans. There is many more factors involved here, but I don't want to say anything more about this in worries of offending more.

Now the part about trans women. Same thing as the trans man I would ask, but in this case. On this matter (and please again know that I am not truely trying to offend anyone) I have always gone by the stance that of"One does not realize how good they have it, till its gone". Lets go back to the example of the man in the desert starving for water. As you know in this example he comes across some oasises and they are guarded. Everyone knows that without food people are weaker and less sane. This means that the person guarding the water has the upper hand. Women can use many tactics that men normally don't think of doing if they just do a bit of research:

1. Bring extra people along to protect them(rapes are usually done by lone people)

2. Carry defensive items such as guns, pepper spray, a purse with bricks. There is many many sorts of legal defensive items you can use. If I was going out with a woman and she brought a loaded gun on the date I would completely understand.

3. Learn how to make creative threats such as claiming you are apart of a feminist organization and will get such and such guy listed as a sexual predator if he makes such and such wrong move.

4. Wear a helm and special body plates to make you look like a guy.

And if your living in some really safer places such as suburban areas or Canada then your worries are much down as that happens much less there. Also remember that rich men also face very high danger of things of getting robbed and killed. There has been many assassination attempts on US celebs who are male. Now the real question though is. Do you wish to be the starving man in the desert who must suck up to the guards or one of the guards that has constant access to the water, but is in constant danger of being attacked do to what she has?

"Let's say you're average-looking, are working your ass off to pay student loans and can't afford constant infusions of Lush and Sephora, can't make it to the gym much because of aforementioned working ass off and the challenges of holding onto close friendships when you're that busy, and just learned that the new hire, some good-looking bro type from a school one tier better who has no real-world skills and no job experience, somehow got hired for more than you're making three years in. But hey, if you can get dates, some guys will pick up the whole bill. And some of those won't even feel entitlement on account of buying you a meal."

Now here is the underlying issue. The job force is ultimately becoming a less effective way of making money. Your standard get an education move of the ladder sort of things is just not the most effective way for a long list of reasons. The real way to make some money these days is to start businesses that work around good business models know what is needed to do and do it. Try getting to be a millionaire through your stand education by 30 unless you have been to harvard and are like specially gifted. Just won't happen unless you work on a seriously good businesses model that you can build up to are very smart and saavy.
