Interesting turn this has taken. I want to go on record saying I support my sisters 100%. My sisters include natal and trans women, Drag Queens, guys who get a sexy "kick" out of wearing their wive's undies, guys who cross-fress to express their "feminine side" and the whole variety of people who fall somewhere in that mix, but not so neatly. We, all of us, get the same shit for the same reasons. They are my sisters.
In my personal opinion, sex-work is one of many valid ways to make a living. Social opinions make that option more dangerous than it should be. I actually have more respect for a tranny escort who is open about her status and her life than I am with a deep-stealth post-op lawyer who wouldn't breath a word of her past to ANYONE.
My issue with the sex indusrty is that it is often the only option available to trans*women (particularly women of color) to make a living. The flip-side of that is it is also often people's only window into what my life may be like. The images from "Shemale Gangbang 12" become projected on me. So, "forced" or "choice" the decision to work in the sex industry isn't an issue for me. It is the way that industry is used by men to frame the lives and sexual desires of ALL Trans*women is.
