It sounds like you did your homework and answered your own questions, no?
My ATF has been out of town for two weeks, and i was looking for someone to entertain me while she was away.
I came across this ad (see below). I contacted her via email/phone, and I sensed she was a bit too stand offish. I decided to do more research and I immediately started getting all kinds of information about her. I was a little too freaked out by it. I am not a super star or a CEO of a big company but I do well for myself. I always thought that discretion was key and im partially paying for that. DISCRETION. I was planning on a dinner date, but I started worrying people would recognize her and automatically know why i was with her. NOT GOOD
I also found her reviews. I wont claim whether she deserves what she asks for, but her reviews do not depict someone I would pay such amount for. If anyone can shed any info on her i would really appreciate as I am thinking im missing something.

I saw the Buzzfeed article when it first came out, and yes, one of my thoughts was that it would potentially scare off her potential clients who were worried about discretion.
Without commenting on any other concerns you raised, I think being recognized while on a dinner date is not very likely. It's not like you're in a small town, or are going out with an "A-list" celebrity, even among trans circles. You are probably more likely to have her recognized this weekend in Center City, lol, but besides that, I think it's extremely unlikely. One Buzzfeed article doesn't make you instantly recognizable while out at dinner.
I think what draws greater scrutiny on dinner dates is when there is a big age disparity, combined with when the provider is dressed indiscreetly. There are certainly many providers (trans or otherwise) who are well-familiar with those concerns, and are comfortable navigating them.
As. someone who has been into this awhile and have spent overnight to 5 day trips with you girls, I agree with Jessica. I have no problems being seen with a provider in public and sometimes the age difference makes some people notice. That being said, a little discretion in attire makes it easier for both myself and the provider. The idea is for both of us to have a good time and that can be harder when you have to deal with other peoples attitudes.
If you are worried about her, I'm available this week~ assuming you are in Philadelphia. I'm here today until Sunday, then leaving for Washington DC on Sunday morning. I actually contacted her before for a possible double session last year but she turned it down. So I never got to interact with her much, and I'm very confused why someone in her position would go around and give so many public interviews...... It's unlikely people who read an article would remember the person in it and recolonize them in real life, but it's always good to be safe and stay low key.
JessicaOngTS is right tho, age difference and how we dress is what catches peoples attention. When I'm by myself I usually blend in ok, but people tend to look more when I'm with someone much older or if I'm with a same age friend dressed in over the top stuff like animal print mini dress. I normally just do business casual attire to blend in with city crowds, plus I can role play naughty secretary without changing.
