Ask a transsexual anything

[TaraJo]

OK Zen, let's try a new paradigm.

If a person chooses to be a prostitute, knowing they are entering a potentially dangerous occupation in which they are literally required to be alone with testosterone-induced males who are ready to burst, they expect to be treated badly in the first place, as a disposable resource for men to use. Entering the occupation they accept the obvious risks inherent in it. Of course if they're the victim of a crime, the criminal should be punished.

What part of that, exactly, don't you understand or don't you agree with?????

*facepalm*

I'm going to school for nursing, Danny, and a lot of nurses wind up getting into home health nursing. Thing about home nurses is that sometimes "they are entering a potentially dangerous occupation in which they are literally required to be alone with testosterone-induced males who are ready to burst." Does this mean home health nurses aren't deserving of any legal protection, either? Do they deserve what they get if their client gets crazy? How about secretaries, working late with the boss? Does she deserve any special protection or does she deserve it?

Part of the problem with prostitution being illegal is that as it is now, prostitutes are afraid to go to police if something like that happens just because the police may arrest the prostitute instead of the client. Part of why I support the legalization of prostitution is to take that aspect of it away. If a prostitute doesn't have to worry about being arrested for it, she can report a client for assaulting her.

There are also plenty of other steps prostitutes can take to protect themselves. But saying she deserves it when she gets attacked, that just proves you're a disgusting little excuse for a human being.
