It’s good that someone has started resources for male prostitutes who want to stop doing what they’re doing.

I’m happy for those who love it and are making $$$ selling their bodies–and I think prostitution should be legalized–but for those who are doing it for survival and are on the streets getting $20 or so and they want to get out, they need some place to turn. Once you are on the street and in that line of work, it can be next to impossible to get out without someone helping you.

Do you guys even READ this stuff before you copy and paste? I already sent a letter of concern and asked for a correction from both The Edmonton Sun, where the article was originally published, and to Matthew Taylor c/o HUSTLE: Men On The Move. This is pretty careless and only further diminishes the broken relationship between the gay (male) community and transsexuals.

Taylor, who is now 40, had been both a male escort and a

cross-dressing transsexual worker,
(WTF?)

both on and off the street.

LGBT – FAIL

I think it’s best just to ignore the Menstruator. Like Morgan said, she’s trolling, and feeding the trolls keeps them alive. Basically, she’s a moron, and her opinion neither deserves nor needs much attention.

Sure, females are abused more than males, but we females have a lot more places to turn to when we face abuse. Men facing abuse issues suffer alone because of gender stereotypes and having nowhere to turn to.

@The Menstruator,

You troll this space with just one goal in mind: to bash men.
“This website is so male-slanted!” says female-obsessed you.
How is that possible when it is run by a very nice and a very kind woman who cares about all the community when you only care about your own gender?

You write here with your superior “I am so much better that you men” attitude. “Lucky I know all about men so I can slam them everday” says you. Slanted? Did yuu say slanted? You are slanted to your own gender to the point of being of being thoroughly obnoxious.

Glad I don’t have to depend on sex work for survival. How are they going to survive when they finally realize the day when they are getting far too old to attract enough clientele?

Menstruator:
Self-centered much?
A PRO story about one subject is not necessarily a CON story about another or related subject.
This subject is about MALE SEX WORKERS.
Therefore, it is not surprising to not find an in-depth reference to FEMALE sex workers beyond one toss-off remark.
Not every subject every day every where is about women and their problems. Sometimes, a story is about men and their problems.
This story is one of those times.

How can a homosexual prostitute class himself as a transsexual just by crossdressing? Does this mean all men who crossdress are transsexuals?
That is obviously nonsense. This guy is just and effeminate homosexual.

I agree that this article is very slanted toward showing boys the “way out” instead of making conditions better and safer for them and their clients.

Young women can have babies and change their lives? I’m sorry, really?

This is such a f-ing joke. Help male sex works? Really? Male sex workers? Help more men get things they need and do things they want and help them while women sex workers? This article is insulting. This website is so male slanted. You know some women are gay too right? And there are more female sex workers right? And the only way men help female sex workers is by not killing them.
Thanks for reminding me how f-ing stupid the gay news can be and how it’s mostly just that. Gay MALE news.
