Arrgh. Once again the Black trans hooker stereotype gets fed combined with problematic language.
I and other African descended transwomen (and our Latina counterparts) are so fracking sick of this tired stereotype.

I love SatC, but I hate this episode... the most famous line it is "Breasts with balls? I'm not sure if I could do that." Makes me sick that I like a show that I love would be so bigoted to use such a line. Additionally, we're shown in a light that shows we're nothing but sex/porn objects. In other words, she-male relegation status, borderline South Park-esque.
To be fair, it was made a good 10 years ago. That far from excuses the usage of this scene, but certainly the attitude towards gays, let alone transpeople, was much more homophobic than today.
