This qualitative research study highlights the lived experiences and voices of diverse trans sex workers who are living and working in Los Angeles, California. Informed by transgender theory, feminist intersectionality theory, and standpoint feminist theoretical approaches to research, this study uses life history case studies, qualitative interactive interviews, and a life timeline approach with six trans sex workers living and working in various aspects of the sex trade in Los Angeles. This article focuses on the unique experiences of trans sex workers and examines how the intersectional identities of trans sex workers and the institutional forces they come into contact with shape the strengths, challenges, and empowering aspects related to their work in the sex trade, and their individual approaches to navigating personal and professional relationships/roles, maintaining quality of life, and resisting stereotypes and stigma.
