Ugggg.... When will people learn?!?

I know its hard for us to make ends meet but seriously its far too dangerous for us to go into the sex trade...  It seems people getting mad cuz they were "Fooled" is one of our #1 causes of death right below suicide...

Female hookers get killed all the time too.  Its a bad line of work, regardless of gender.

The Daily News is a tabloid, that's how they write - its what sells that paper.

Ugh, the "discussion" is truly sickening, as is the "coverage" of trans people by the daily news.
