Summary: Working Guys shares a collection of essays from authors across the spectrum of transmasculine gender identities and with diverse experiences with sex work, to build a nuanced picture of an underacknowledged demographic within sex work. It explores the unique ways a transmasculine identity may impact how someone navigates sex work and vice versa, in the ways selling sex may impact transition or other peopleās perceptions of a personās gender. The submissions are grouped around the topics of āfemale personas,ā āpopularity in porn,ā ātransphobic violence against transmasculine sex workers,ā āthe cost of medical transition,ā ārole models for transmasculine people,ā and āoutside views: radical feminists, progressives, and the rightā to cover a broad scope with experiences ranging from traumatic to joyful to mundane and the ambiguous in-betweens.Ā
Reflections: I found this very informative. It was structured to allow for many varied perspectives, including not just different types of sex work, gender identities and expressions, and transition journeys and goals, but also commentary on their intersections with race, disability, etc., while maintaining cohesion within each chapter's broad topic. These experiences were never flattened to fit a simplistic narrative of sex work as purely traumatic or empowering or even ājust another jobā nor was there any sanitization of the complicated experiences of being transgender or transitioning and the way those experiences might not fit the narrative often sold to cis people and the medical establishments. I took a lot away from the discussions about the practical considerations sex workers have to make if they are pursuing transition, whether social or physical, and how common perceptions of and discussions around sex work, even by āsupportiveā groups, can be marginalizing or contribute to the invisibility of transmasc sex workers.Ā
I was also intrigued by the section on female personas. It was no surprise to hear that they would often be necessary from a business perspective. But Working Guys also delved into the way these personas could play a different psychological role for transmasc individuals than seemingly similar constructed personas might for women selling sex. The differences in how transmasc people developed this persona and related to it, as well as the trade-off where the female personas could protect from dysphoria or perpetuate it, were very thought-provoking topics explored well.
Warnings: Depictions of transphobia, misgendering, gender dysphoria, medical discrimination, homophobia, whorephobia, verbal and physical abuse, consensual and non-consensual sexual content, racism, ableism, fatphobia.
Just saw this review now and wow, I'm so glad you found Working Guys to be this informative and to see people appreciating how raw many of the contributions were.

my name is jane, i also go by bambi, and i, like most people in this godforsaken system, do not know what my role is! /hj
iām a very big fan of the horror genre, especially when it comes to film and literature. folk horror is my favorite subgenre. my favorite author is andrew joseph white and i am HYPED for beast//warden
i, like the body i inhabit, am intersex, and it affects my identity deeply. i am a gaybian, meaning that i am gay for men and lesbian for women. this is directly because of my intersex status. i am also quite fond of the label pansygirl
if you ever see me post on here, itāll probably be in relation to horror literature or fanfiction. especially x readers. iām a real big fan of those :3
