Gosh, that's horrible! Has this abuse come from clients? That you've seen in person?

I'm cisgender, so I can't really advise on that, but I've had the odd bit of racial abuse (I'm British, but non-white), though not in person from a client.

I've this was in person I'd cut back for fear of safety - your life is not worth the cost of that booking.

If it's douchecanoes online I'd say ignore them and push on, as I'd hope the ones who book you are the ones looking for a trans sex worker. I don't understand why a transphobic person would book someone who advertised as trans (unless going out of their way to hunt people down, which is horrific, and possible, but doesn't strike me as "normal").

I don't want to advise anyone to work if it is too dangerous for them, but I think it depends on how clients act when you are with them - online trolls shouldn't ruin your business, only people on your doorstep.

I hope this helps, and hugs if you like hugs, because that sucks.

when i have a really bad experience i keep on going without stopping or taking time out because otherwise i would stop work for forever. Its like when you have a car crash you need to immediately sit in a car and drive otherwise you start thinking and digesting what happened and you will never drive again, out of fear. don't let fear rule you.

I love this quote so i am going to share: ?True courage is being afraid, and going ahead and doing your job anyhow, that's what courage is.? ― Norman Schwarzkopf

Agreed with this.  I keep going, push through then when you look back you wonder how you did it.

I was attacked at new Year and I couldn't work for a while as was too bruised and sore.
I was scared to go back but I refused to let one arsehat win and frighten me off.
I have panic buttons in every room as well as very thick, heavy doors all with locks on that can be locked from inside or out but only unlocked with a key.  That way I can lock them in one room whilst I lock myself in another and hit the panic button.
I have a few other security things in place as well which make me feel so much safer.

Make your work space as safe as possible, panic buttons etc are not that expensive and nor are the monthly charges.  also make sure there is nothing in view that they can use as a weapon.
Try to have at least one room with a strong lock on the door so you have somewhere to run to and lock yourself safely inside (leave a cheap ?10 phone in that room at all times for calling the police).

Little things like that can make your work space a little safer and also give you more confidence in knowing you are safer so getting back to work properly becomes easier.
CCTV or even Fake CCTV cameras can also deter a lot of those undesirable clients as they are not going to risk being caught on camera.

Feeling safe is so important in this work and I only managed to go back after I had upped my security measures considerably

I agree. Get knocked down get back up and fight again

The moment you stop  is the moment you give up literally

Don't get swayed by the money I mean in your heart you know you shouldn't take that booking but you do is often when it fuck up

Be confident  have a set way that you work that works for you and don't deviate from it
Lim in Dubai ATM been asked loads of times to do outcalls but I won't  been offered serious good Money to do them as well - but I won't
I rarely do them at home so not doing them in the sandpit


Check your advertising sometimes the wankers tend to congregate on one particular site / board

Don't let a few assholes get you down   Where I am ATM TS are in very high demand and the one I know of personally is charging ?450 per hrs  I'm tempted to say I'm a bloody bloke at sometimes
