I’m a Transfemale sex worker doing street-based sex work and get harrassed on a regular basis, it seems to me like second nature already!!! Worse is the fact that I’m HIV positive and sometimes on my way to the clinic the police harass me saying I’m working in the day and need to get off the street! Then there’s the part of the community that does not agree with my choice of identity and will irratate me as I walk to the clinic, which sometimes makes me come late for appointments or just stay away!!!
