When did Trans*Sexworks start and why? The Project was started 6 Years ago by EmyFem and KAy Garnellen, because there was no Organisation or Project focused on helping trans sex workers or even giving them a safe space. Could you tell us about the Frobenstraße history ? Street-based sex work has been taking place around the Bülow- Kiez since 1885. The Frobenstraße is where trans women work and sadly there is not a lot of recorded history on that street and the trans women that used to work there, unlike the area where the cis women work. We do know though that the street used to be divided in Preand Post-OP haha But now the trans Women that have had genital surgery often go work on the street where the cis women are. In the last four years, less and less clients have been coming to this area and even before corona business was bad. Five, ten years ago women could make hundreds of Euros a night. Since the 90s its been mostly migrant women from eastern european countries working the streets. On the Frobenstraße in the last few years mostly türkish-bulgarian women have been working there. sex work and sex work organisations aren’t talking about the disproportionate number of trans colleagues. Trans sex workers are subject to transphobia/ transmisogyny and whorephobia. What are the best ways to help? Keep reminding people of the issues that trans sex workers face. Donate your time and money to projects like ours. How did Covid-19 affect your work as volunteers and the work of the streetbased sex workers? In our project we can no longer use the rooms from an other organisation that we used to use for the “Trans Dinner” and now we have to do everything outside on the street. For street-based sex workers the financial impact of covid-19 is extremely devastating. Many are unhoused and in debt. Is the state / city helping in any way? For trans sex workers not so much. Our project is funded a little bit by the Anti-discrimination Office (LADS) but we have no paid staff, no office and we are not allowed to buy food or drinks with the funds. There is some support for cis women and cis men but it’s not enough. Instagram @caspar_tate transsexworks.com @transsexworks Order your copy on kaltblut-magazine.com What do you do there? We hand out food, drinks, condoms, lube and masks now during corona. Isabelle and I are like community organisers and friends. People come to us when they have an issue or a crisis. We help people access emergency housing and doctors’ visits. I often help navigate the counseling sector and help make appointments, remind people of these and even accompany them if they wish. We also do a lot of work with the press, other organisations and politicians to try and get help to come. Why is such an organisation so important? No one seems to care about trans sex workers. Trans organisations aren’t talking about 40
