so one thing i see a lot of is stories where 'being turned into a stripper' is used as a punishment. But apparently it's not all bad. Here is an AMA from a former stripper. It'd be interesting to see a 'turned into a stripper' punishment story where the whole thing back fired now that i think about it....

Most of the time in stories I
Most of the time in stories I think it is either a humiliation factor, debt being paid, or simply no other job that she can get once feminized. The stigma is most important in the story, as is the mental anguish.
Real life, well unless the woman is being forced to feed an addiction or enslaved to someone(and it does happen even in "civilized countries") the stripper is simply doing a job. They can either see it as work or they can enjoy it. It's no different than a woman working pornography or as a model. They show their flesh for tips, and if they are good at it and maybe popular they could make a strong career out of it.
There's also something to consider in the article that is rarely touched upon- the reputation of the club and the clients who use the club. Good club owners don't want any kind of prostitution or drugs anywhere near their employees, unscrupulous or worse club owners overlook it. The good clubs are respected and not shy to get rid of people who are trouble or potential trouble and not afraid to look out for the ladies even if it means losing a top draw employee. We often see the unscrupulous club owners in the stories, so it's not surprising that we see the worst of clubs.
I'm told STFU more times in a day than most people get told in a lifetime
Strippers and Forced Fem
It takes a long time, years if then, for a person who transitions to begin to understand how the mind of a genetic female works. After 12 years of it, I see some things that would have never occurred to me otherwise. In addition to the genetic predisposition a woman faces, a woman or a man making a credible effort to live as one is guided into a completely unavoidable role. Generally women are seen as more vulnerable, and otherwise less able than men in many areas. It is a surprise to men to encounter a woman camping alone, and we mostly need to be much more careful than men because of the occasional predatory male. It is wearing at times for a woman's body to be so fawned over, and some women learn to desire that adoration and it sometimes takes them to painful places.
It does not happen frequently but Saturday it was a great surprise to find myself admiring a male presenter's ass, and when he turned it was obvious that his tool was substantial. It was astonishing to find my innermost parts clinching and to find myself musing about being filled with it. Of course I never expected to have anything like that happen.
I once knew a College girl who had just graduated in English with a BA, and lacking the funds to get her MA, took a job as a stripper in a local club. This girl was about 5' and beautiful. It was interesting to watch the phases of her life over the next months. We were talking after she had just started stripping and she said she loved it and made lots of money. A couple months later she was now smoking, wearing "stripper" clothes and seemed nervous. Later she looked absolutely haggard and I saw her getting out of a car to rush into the apartment buildi. As she passed, her heavily made up face was streaked where tears had gone down it.
Still later, I talked with her one afternoon. She mentioned that the police were going to help her get off drugs, and someone had helped her to go back to College to get her MA. Whatever she had done had not put her in jail. She seemed happier.
The last time I saw her, she had that innocent look about her back again, she was not smoking, and she said that she had gotten back with her mother and was in church again. I was happy for her.
For some reason, a blessing I suppose, people talk to me; telling me amazing and sometimes shocking things. Later, I had a close approach to disaster when I decided that to survive, I would have to try to be a prostitute. I did some Craigslist ads, and had a few dates, but never worked up the courage to actually do penetrative sex, but did a few blow jobs. Later I am quite sure that one of my dates was actually a vice cop. The issue with my becoming a prostitute was that in one of these incidents, I Disassociated and was completely OUT for a while. It scared the guy really bad, I never got any money and as soon as I was barely conscious, he was gone.
Being especially naive, my neighbor convinced me I could now have HIV so I spent the next 6 months waiting for the results of HIV tests and this frightened me so much that I became Muslim.
I'm not sure what writing all this accomplished but I hope it was interesting.

What it Accomplishes
It allows others to compare their own life experiences and gain an insight into what happened to them, or what might have happened at a pivotal moment. Life is about choices. We spend a huge amount of time looking back at decisions we made and wondering what might have been.
Thank you for sharing your own life experiences. Mine are a bit different, but I can definitely identify with your friend who was teetering on an abyss. I came close to making a similar decision in college. Fortunately, my own lack of self-esteem about my body prevented me from accepting a job as a stripper. I am so happy that I didn't take the gig.

Be kind to those who are unkind, tolerant toward those who treat you with intolerance, loving to those who withhold their love, and always smile through the pains of life.
We all have a past.
In the last 10 years people may have gotten a view of me as a religious nutter, but that only came after a couple very lost years after my divorce. Friends who know about that time won't allow me to forget it, and some go on to further say that I am lucky to have lived through that time.
Going back to Liquorice's original post, I suppose it would be possible to be a stripper if one could keep the predators off. I've been naked before in public and going topless is much easier than going bottomless. This will completely destroy my saintly image then. In the last 9 years I have been quite saintly. :)

what does AMA in this context mean? I read the article and I didn't see it.
AMA
it means Ask Me Anything. These are excerpts from a subreddit somewhere.
