Birchplace pretty active at this moment.
Grindr quiet, there are few trans escorts but not anything above usual levels.

Re: Looks like backpage is off line
Setting aside the legitimate rationale of stopping the sexual exploitation of children, does anyone else think the transsexual escort community that advertised so openly on CL and BP are somewhat to blame for bringing down these sites because of how blatant they were about it? Hell, in most major cities on CL, you could get pot delivered to your door, and that never shut down the people who provided the service or CL; you could also find all sorts variants on casual relationships (most without requiring "roses" or some other currency exchange) and you could even on occasion find transgendered women who were actually looking for a relationship. Craigslist shut down the adult services section and like almost overnight, the casual relationship T4M category literally exploded with T-gal escort ads (you'd be hard pressed to find a T4M ad that wasn't "pay for play").
To make matters worse, some providers posted 3, 4 or more times per day. As a hobbyist, even I thought some of this was over the top. Backpage tried to stem the problem by limiting text content in the ads but that literally removed any plausible argument as to why someone was posting in the "T" personals. From an LE point of view, I gotta think that shit was like flipping LE the finger; how could anyone be surprised that this would have happened? The real question is where the T escort community going to advertise now? AFF and other adult dating sites? If they do, they also run the risk of giving the cretins who voted for SESTA / FOSTA right to shut down legitimate dating sites because now the U.S. government can prosecute websites and those that operate them criminally for posts made by users. Welcome to our nightmare.

Re: Looks like backpage is off line
I understand your point but the deliberate conflation of child trafficking and consensual sex work is anything but legitimate. Unfortunately the intellectually dishonest arguments have won out and those who oppose nonsense legislation like SESTA/FOSTA are painted as immoral degenerates and child trafficking enablers. It's the same tactic the pro-life religious nuts used for eons to demonize pro-choice "baby killers". Also I don't think transgender women were any more blatant in advertising than female escorts on CL/Backpage; The "BUT THE CHILDREN!!!" argument is what made this pass with virtually no political opposition. Children are political pawns for both the left and the right.
I know how profitable DC is for escorts and I really hope providers start exposing these hypocritical assholes.
