Blog suggestion: Transgender sex worker blogs?

Can anyone recommend any blogs written by current or former sex workers who ID as trans*? I'm open to any suggestions, but as it's not solely for my reading pleasure those that deal with sex work/sex workers rights issues/sex work and transgender issues/sex work legal and media issues would be preferable.

Hope someone can throw a few links at me!








(* or, frankly, who ID as anything, but who have a trans history that has relevance to their sex work. I'm interested in writings by those who worked stealth and those who worked "as" trans sex workers)

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I've read "What Transmisogyny Looks Like", but didn't realise the author had also written on sex work.

Got any more? :)

hmm ... now it is making me sad because I have been privy to so many stories over the years and I'm realizing how few of them actually have any "written" evidence at all. A huge part of that is for safety/protection. The barriers are extremely high for writing about these things if you've done anything remotely illegal. The law has very powerful ways of keeping us from learning each others' stories. I will keep thinking and let you know if I remember anything more.

Oh, and btw, hi, I like yr blog. :)

Yes, I realised that the American dominance of the blogosphere and the illegality of sex work in most of the US may well be a factor in my failure to find such blogs. Hopefully someone else can suggest something, or apply better Google-fu than I've managed.

And thank you! Feedback is lovely.
