I used to be a counselor and case manager for people in the LGBT community and many of the trans women I knew had done street work.I don't remember anyone ever saying they had sex on other people's private residential property. That doesn't mean it wasn't happening, of course, but I never heard anyone mention *anything* like it. It just seems a little too brazen for people who are aware that what they're doing is against the law.

So, unless they're under the influence, which is possible, it seems like it could be staged. If it is, I think it may be to initiate public dialogue about the importance of decriminalizing "prostitution" and reinstating the online channels people used to find and vet their clients. And if this is true, then it's a brilliant idea.
