I am an 22 year old male to female transsexual. I am living full time as a woman. I live in an area that is frequented by prostitutes. There has been many a time cars have pulled up next to me and the guy offering me money for sex, I always shake them off although I must say I was tempted a few times to go for it. I have always fantasized myself being a prostitute. One night while at a club a really cute guy offered me a lot of money for oral sex. I told him sorry, I am not a working girl but he was real cute so I gave him head anyway (no money involved). Hanging out in the car with him I asked why would he want to pay so much money for oral sex. He just said that it was worth that much to him and put the money in my hand and told me to hop out of the car because he had to go. He drove off, I still had the money that I had turned down. Am I now considered to be a prostitute?
But honestly, the bigger issue here is that you fantasize about being a prostitute and have engaged in something risky- I mean, who knows where that guy's been? You could contract an STD ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)), like Herpes. ALWAYS use protection, and get tested.
Being a prostitute, even for a little while, is demoralizing and degrading; you should celebrate your sexuality instead of objectifying yourself. Unfortunately, if you were to hypothetically ask any number of people the first word to pop into their head when they hear the word transsexual, prostitute might come to mind. I don't really know why- maybe it's the media? Or the fact that many transgendered individuals are marginalized, and are thus at a disadvantage when it comes to employment, and find it difficult to afford expensive hormone therapy, for example.
My point through all of this is, do not allow yourself to fall into the whole 'transgendered prostitute' trap. You can defy the stereotype, even if a life as a prostitute appeals to you. It's ugly, it's dirty, it's demoralizing and objectifies individuals. There is so much more you could do with your life- you are 22, and to just throw your life out the window is out of question.
You could raise awareness of the LGBT community, by volunteering for a cause, attending talks, taking part in events, etc., and in essence, advocate for yourself and others like you. You are the way you are, and that is a cause for celebration. You made a conscious choice to be transsexual, and I commend you for that- it is by no means an easy decision to make, and really, you are living out your true colors, so bravo. Do not throw your life away. Being a transsexual prostitute- is that really what you want? Fantasy should not be turned into reality, if it harms you. Do something positive with your life.

IT just so happened that you got out of the car with the money.
But if it was a one time thing, i would say no.
