Transsexual Prostitute: World's most dangerous job?

A 9 millimeter will only wound them. I use a 45 ACP. That usually blows a nice big hole in them and throws 'em back 30 feet. Any guy that tries to hurt a pretty girl like you deserves that kind of treatment

And you sir, have been watching too much television. A handgun bullet makes a hole, and "if" you are lucky, the offender will fall over. One OZ slugs from a 12 GA shotgun at 1600 FPS, much more stopping power than a .45 ACP, will not throw a person back 5 feet, not to mention 30.

I've never shot a person and plan to keep it that way. Plenty of deer have fallen to my .44 Mag, again more powerful than a .45 ACP. Pretty much takes a head or spine shot to drop them in their tracks. Heart and lung shots, they run a ways normally before dropping. Same with the 12 GA slugs. At "best", they drop in their tracks.

I knew these two guys. One night, Guy One starts a row with Guy Two, saying that a .22 couldn't hurt a fly. Guy One is now dead, Guy Two is in for life, and Guy Three has to buy a new carpet. Yes, a .22 =can= hurt a fly and =more=.

I keep thinking back to the Ally McBeal episode where she is drafted as public defender to a transgendered street prostitute. The show is poigniant and well written and ends on a sad note.

Most dangerous? Who knows? But it's certainly no walk in the park.

You got that right BeardedOne. There are pellet guns capable of killing people with proper shot placement. I happen to own one. Heck, I don't even want shot in the butt with a weak, old Daisy BB gun! I own a 9 MM too, and don't feel much under-gunned in Wal-Mart at 4:00 AM with it on my side. (legal of course-I have a CCW)

Gotta love turning a prostitute thread into a gun thread.

Heh. Shame on us.

Hey, John Alec Hexum (Sp?) committed accidental suicide (Figure that one out) with a blank prop gun.

*Ahem* Still, being a TS escort is not the safest gig on the planet.

I found a place on line that sells BARs either semi-auto or full auto if you have a class three license


I want one.

Those would be way too cool. Only a dream, I don't have a class three and have no plans of getting one. I DO have a couple semi-auto AK-47's, they are fun even in the boring form. I've never shot full-auto, but would imagine it would give me a stiffy!

Transsexual Prostitute: World's most dangerous job?


Now if u mix lifestyle into it, the drugs, booze, gangs etc. u will probably find a lot of deaths from od's and violence that is not directly related to the profession.

Gangs? Is there any tranny gangs out there? Because if there is... I wanna sign up! Oh and about the booze, my favorite drink is champagne, so if you see me out ever, feel free to buy me a drink

Watch out bitches! I am a tranny gangster!

Yeah...it's pretty high up there even beyond all of the issues already talked about:

National HIV Prevention Conference
Atlanta, Georgia - Jun 12-15, 2005


STD/HIV TRANSMISSION ISSUES
AMONG TRANSGENDER COMMERCIAL SEX WORKERS


ISSUE: HIV/STD transmission issues within the TG (transgender) community are misunderstood not only by the general population but by the transgender individual themselves. HIV/STD’s are also increasing at an alarming rate within the TG community.

SETTING: HIV/STD transmission routes unique to the TG individual, issues in testing and receiving care, psychosocial issues of risk taking behavior.

IMPLICATIONS: The Transgender community is a largely diverse group. Within the TG community are particular sub-groups that are more at risk than others. MTF (male to female transgender) sex workers have high rates of HIV infection, with overall rates of 35% in San Francisco in 1997 and 22% in Los Angeles in 1998. A study of MTF sex workers in Atlanta found that 68% tested positive for HIV. Infections among MTFs continue to rise, with an estimated rate of new infections of 3-8% per year. Injection drug use is also visible among MTFs, again putting them at high risk for HIV. In a San Francisco study, 18% of the respondents reported non-hormonal injection drug use in the past six months and half of this group shared syringes. MTFs may inject female hormones in order to feminize their bodies, putting them again at increased risk. Transphobia, or the pervasive social stigmatization of MTFs, greatly exacerbates their HIV risk. This intense stigmatization results in their social marginalization, which includes the denial of educational, employment and housing opportunities. It also creates multiple barriers to accessing health care. Such marginalization lowers MTFs’ self esteem, increases the likelihood of survival sex work and lessens the likelihood of safer sex practices. All of this can lead to high rates of HIV, STDs, drug use and attempted suicide. Pre-GRS (genital reassignment surgery) MTFs primarily have sex with men and are likely to engage in receptive anal sex, which puts them at increased risk. Some MTF commercial sex workers are willing to not use condoms with their paying partners if they are offered more money however, some studies show that most unprotected sex occurs with primary partners, not paying partners. Psychosocial factors such as poverty, low self-esteem, depression, rejection, and powerlessness are cited by many MTFs as barriers to sexual and drug risk reduction. For example, many MTFs state that they engage in unprotected sex because it validates their female gender identity and boosts their self-esteem. Commercial sex is largely a means of survival. For many MTFs, securing employment and housing are more pressing issues than HIV and must be addressed before HIV prevention efforts can be effective. Many trans-gender individuals do not access HIV prevention or health services due to the insensitivity of service providers and health care staff or fear of being revealed as transgender.

"According to Lloyds in London, working on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world."

"Insurance people make their money by measuring risks. Lloyds of London says that the deck of an aircraft carrier is the most dangerous working environment in the world, and it's not hard to see why. On the deck of a Nimitz -class carrier, there is constant motion among dozens of aircraft, fuel lines, catapults, jet blast deflectors, and arresting wires. The cats launch aircraft and the arresting wires catch landings in a rhythm that recovers one aircraft and launches another in the space of about sixty seconds. "
