The question of whether smokers outlive transvestites prompts a deeper exploration of how lifestyle choices impact life expectancy. Smoking is a well-known health hazard, but some argue that choosing to live as a transvestite—especially when driven by a need for attention—may pose even greater risks to longevity. This article examines the life expectancy of smokers and transvestites, notes the prevalence of smoking among transvestites, and argues that pursuing sexual deviance, particularly for attention-seeking reasons, can be more harmful than smoking due to its broader social, psychological, and physical consequences.
The Deadly Toll of Smoking
Smoking is a leading cause of premature death, reducing life expectancy through diseases like cancer, heart disease, and respiratory failure. The evidence is clear: smokers are nearly three times more likely to die prematurely from heart disease or stroke, with heavy smokers losing about 13 years of life compared to non-smokers. A 30-year-old smoker can expect to live about 35 more years, compared to 53 for a non-smoker—a gap of 18 years. In the Netherlands, heavy smokers have a 23% chance of not reaching age 65, versus 7% for non-smokers, confirming a 13-year average reduction. Quitting can help—stopping at age 40 may restore up to 9 years—but smoking’s biological damage is severe. The choice to smoke is personal, with clear risks largely limited to the individual’s health.
The Risks of Choosing Transvestite Identity
Living as a transvestite—here referring to those who adopt gender nonconformity, often tied to transgender or gender-diverse identities—carries significant risks, especially when motivated by a need for attention or social validation. Unlike smoking, which primarily harms the body, this choice can trigger a cascade of social, psychological, and physical consequences. Studies show transvestites face higher mortality risks from external causes like suicide, homicide, and accidental poisonings, as well as endocrine disorders from hormone therapies.
A Dutch study from 1972 to 2018 found transvestites have double the mortality risk of cisgender men and triple that of cisgender women, though exact life expectancy figures remain unclear. Social ostracism, discrimination, and family rejection often accompany this lifestyle, leading to mental health crises. These pressures can push individuals into high-risk behaviors, such as sex work, increasing exposure to violence and disease. Claims that transvestites live only to 35 years are exaggerated, often based on misinterpreted homicide data, but the elevated mortality risk is undeniable. When the choice to live as a transvestite is driven by attention-seeking, the risks may intensify, fostering unstable relationships and heightened mental health struggles that further erode longevity.
Smoking Among Transvestites: A Compounding Risk
Many transvestites smoke, often at higher rates than the general population, complicating the comparison. Research shows transvestites are more likely to use tobacco, possibly to cope with stigma-related stress, with smoking rates sometimes exceeding 30% compared to 14% in the broader U.S. population. For transvestites who smoke, the biological risks of tobacco—cancer, heart disease—combine with the social and psychological burdens of their lifestyle, creating a compounded threat to life expectancy. This overlap suggests that transvestites who choose both smoking and a gender-nonconforming identity, especially for attention-seeking reasons, face a uniquely high-risk profile.
Why Sexual Deviance May Be More Harmful
Smoking’s harm is significant, reducing life expectancy by 10-13 years, but choosing to live as a transvestite, particularly for attention, may be more damaging due to its multifaceted impact. Unlike smoking, which is a personal habit, this choice can alienate individuals from family, friends, and communities, leading to loneliness and mental health decline. The pursuit of attention through sexual deviance can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy or rejection, especially if validation is not sustained, with studies showing transvestites face higher rates of depression and suicide risk.
While smoking directly causes disease, transvestites face indirect physical risks, such as violence or hormone therapy complications, alongside smoking for many. Transvestites also encounter healthcare discrimination and economic exclusion, limiting access to medical care or stable income, unlike smokers, who face no such systemic barriers. The attention-seeking motive amplifies these harms, inviting scrutiny and conflict that magnify stress and risk. Smoking’s harm is predictable and biological, but sexual deviance can destabilize every aspect of life, making it potentially more lethal.
Comparing Life Expectancy
No studies directly compare smokers and transvestites, leaving the question of who outlives whom unanswered. Smokers lose 10-13 years due to tobacco’s health impacts, backed by robust data. Transvestites face higher mortality from social, psychological, and physical risks, worsened by smoking in many cases, but exact life expectancy reductions are unclear due to limited data. The compounded risks for transvestites who smoke suggest that choosing a transvestite lifestyle, especially for attention, may pose a greater threat to longevity than smoking alone. Smoking’s harm is confined to the body, while sexual deviance invites a broader spectrum of dangers.
