For the EEPP project, we decided to concentrate on the experiences of trans sex workers, as these experiences are often not taken into account by mainstream society or in trans communities. Germany is perceived as a country where the situation for trans people is, compared to a lot of other countries, quite good. Germany does have a legal gender recognition procedure, trans-specific health care is available for trans people who have access to health insurance and, even though in Germany trans people face discrimination and violence (e.g. at work, in education, in the medical system but mostly in state-run institutions such as at the immigration office, the Jobcenter or in court), a lot of trans people do not have to fear life-threatening violence on a daily basis. Many are able to live a decent life, especially those who have access to privilege structures of mainstream society such as the labour market, the housing market, health insurance, and community support. However, the situation of trans people varies widely, depending on their intersectional position in society. Due to racist structures and everyday racism, trans people of colour and black trans people, for example, face not just trans discriminatory violence but also its intersection with racism, which increases the risk of being confronted with discrimination and violence. Trans sex workers face the intersection of trans discrimination, whore* stigmatisation and violence, as well as discrimination and violence based on their legal status, their race, and/or because they are migrants and lack class privilege. Connected to all of this, lack of education often prevents them from understanding/entering state welfare systems. We are trans and we are sex workers. Even though we all work in Germany, we come from different countries. Most of us have a migrant background and many of us have difficulties regarding our legal status. Therefore, a lot of us do not have access to health insurance and social welfare. Multiple stigmatisation has a big impact on our lives. For a lot of us, it is hard to get a job outside of sex work, to get health insurance and to find a safe living place, due to being trans, lacking fluency in German, having no support from family and friends in our countries of origin and having (almost) no access to German bureaucratic structures. The option of getting a job in another sector is often complicated by our inability to prove our work experience, as it is not possible to talk about having done sex work previously. We do not call ourselves victims and we
