Trans*sexworks is a peer project for and by trans sex workers. The rationale of the project is that
trans sex workers are often excluded from advice and support structures because there are no suitable

our working conditions and quality of life. We include all sex workers in our activism, whether they are
working indoors or street-based, with or without the internet, independent or not, trans women, trans
men or non-binary persons.
