"Despite engaging in higher risk activity, transgender sex workers are more likely to receive lower pay than other sex workers.[10] Transgender sex workers with history of homelessness, unemployment, incarceration, mental health issues, violence, emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, or drug use are further at risk of being trapped in a cycle of poverty. Lack of economic opportunities outside of the sex work industry and discrimination may lead to transgender people entering sex work in order to generate income for rent, drugs, medicines, hormones, or gender-related surgeries."
Side note: Transgender people and transgender sex workers should be included in the equal pay for equal work topic.
