[…] The Tedium of Trans Sex Work by Sarah In a wryly funny and insightful piece, Sarah tells us about the extra heaping of objectification that comes with being a sex working trans woman: “[Clients] want some kind of once-in-a-lifetime bucket list sexual experience, have no idea what that is, and expect that you’ll be able to provide it—because that’s what they think trans women are there for.” […]

Hi Angelina.
I totally agree that we need some type of National Trans Sex Worker Asscoiation or even just a small get together a for local Girls.
I’m really pleased that there is a Trans Advocate in the city I live & she’s wonderful. but I’m finding it a quite isolating form of employment, while Cis-Gendered W/L are usually pretty cool, there’s issues & experiences specific to Us & peer support, well forget about the Mainstream Transgender/Transsexual Community as it’s quite obvious we’re simply an embarrassment to them.

Hi Sarah,
A very interesting and detailed account of what it’s like as a Trans sex worker dealing with clients that haven’t a clue as to the why, they are attracted to or indeed the what to expect when, underpinned by their assumptions of, when getting it together with a Trans worker! Then aside from what the ‘John’ is looking for (whatever that may be) there’s the frustration of no shows “car unexplisitly is not working”, “I’ve been called back to work”, “I’ve just been involved in a car accident”, ” the tire/s on my car just blew out” and of course that’s just the excuses from the nice ones the others (???) then of course the phone dialogues “I want’a …. And then…. And when I cum over you I want’a….” And yes well you know all the fantasies expressed but hardly ever transpire in our presence! Sarah your so right if we haven’t acquired a psychology degree when starting to work it dosent take long to aquire though not recognized as such.
As much as services for Trans sex workers are concerned Australia as for I suspect the majority of countries and states in this world of ours are very thin on the ground! There are pockets though around the place but to be absolutely honest we can be our own worst enemy’s in as much as try to organise a get together of Trans workers! Irrespective of ethnicity set a date and time and a safe comfortable place to meet 0 attendance I have ask myself why? Cattiness? An insecurity? Are worried at meeting their competition?
It’s a bit of a wonder to me perhaps it’s just the prospect of loss of income? The upshot though is without solidarity the expectation of cis worker organizations taking more than just a novel approach to our conserns and needs just won’t happen.

In reply to Sarah.

Jesus I’m fucking glad to be out of that. I’ve had a roof I can have people over to, and already have had people over, so I’m working fucking miracles compared to where I was.

Honestly I wasn’t willing to call myself a sex worker until I read this, because of internalize bullshit transmisogyny and classism. And once I did I immediately understood that it is the time I’ve put into this that matters, and that the money I’ve made is a reflection of the general size of the pool that’s available to us.

I wish I had the spoons to write anything, work on my poetry or an essay, something. I don’t :/ And until society or my friends get their shit together and support me so I can do stuff like that, I won’t. Life.

I really loved the article and it resonated strongly with me, I’ve only been on HRT for just under a year and only been doing sw for a few months. I hate it when men expect me to be able to top them even though no where in my ads do I state that I am versatile, I hate the expectation that I should be really attracted to men infact I prefer women. I’ve recently experienced rape and every time I go to work I expect it to happen because I live and work in SA where the clients know its illegal and workers are afraid to go to the cops because they fear arrest.
