I read this today in the Sacramento Bee. The thought that occurred to me is: When they tell the 'Johns' the horror stories, do they try to scare them with the fact they may be serviced by a pre-op transwoman? I'd bet money on it...

QuoteEach presentation is aimed at either scaring them straight with all the terrible things that can be inflicted upon a john or opening their eyes to the ugly realities of the sex-for-money industry. It's not meant as a feel-good therapy session or an opportunity to explain away bad decisions, so there is no give-and-take in the class. The johns are not allowed to ask questions or speak. They sit and listen.
