Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze the conceptions that the trans feminized people themselves have about prostitution, as well as to describe the situations they go through in such context. For this purpose, we worked with in-depth interviews from an ethnographic approach in an attempt to know the most real context where these events happen. It should be noted that this work is part of a broader process that is within the framework of a master's thesis. Trans- feminized persons enter the activity as a last resort to obtain money due to the discrimination they face as well as the exclusion from the family and educational environment and the impossibility of being employed in another activity because of their identity. In the street, where they offer their services, they represent their identity as they wish, but they also experience all types of violence. The only place they can find support is in civil society organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
