Ladies, know your rights. Cops feel you and I are an easy arrest so as a TS, you'll be intimidated to plead guilty for even the most trivial, bogus charge.

So I attached a link to a story about a NYC TS provider who got busted for having too many condoms on her possession. There is no law in any state in the US restricting condom possession, but if your a sex worker, you may have reason to believe there's a legal limit.

"Keeping a few condoms tucked in your handbag probably won’t land you behind bars -- unless police profile you as a possible sex worker. Are you in an area known for street prostitution? Are you a transgender woman? Are you a woman of color? Do you have a prior record? If you answer yes to any of these questions, the number of condoms you’re carrying could suddenly become grounds for suspicion, even if you are not engaging in illegal activity."

Also traveling with sex toys etc...

Depending upon where you are in DC, you can get arrested for too many condoms.  This story is well researched (and I've personally heard the DC police chief 'defend' the policy).  Beware!

Amen and kudos to you, Melissa!  Nothing beats your whore-dar!

Seriously, very smart and impressive; I hope other girls read and learn.

I would have to agree with Melissa. First of all I don't do street thing, but when I walk down on the street day or night passing thru lots of cops, they didnt try to stop me, they even smile and bow at me, so I think if you keep it discreet and low key, you should be fine unless your in the bad luck " knock on wood". Also dress appropriately in the public and acting normal and blend to the society are the key. Don't try to be different in the public area, just keep it low and appropriate .

Melissa is dead on, as usual Great tip about bagging things up.

.. there are usually extra trashbags under the waste basket in a hotel. Also it's a good idea to travel with your own wash cloths- the cheap ones. You don't need to bother hotel staff with the need for extra towels ( or sneak them from a  housekeeping cart)

Good ideas, Allison

A little spray-n-wash bottle goes a long ways for quick in-the-sink clean-up.

And, don't forget the bug repellent for the lunkheads who want to bargain.

I'm sure we all do- somethings are better left secret though

It's funny, or at least I think it is. Usually when I am getting ready for a date, I make sure I have everything. Twice, you know, because I am excited, nervous, etc, in anticipation of the date. I always bring extra condoms, sometimes two extra. Who am I trying to kid? Unless something goes wrong with the first one, I am not a second pop kind of guy.

Back in August of last year, I had a heart attack after a date. Hours after, I didn't think it was a heart attack at all at first, but I finally went into the Emergency room. As I was in there getting the code red treatment, and I had my sister there in the emergency room ready to take my stuff, all I could think about was the two extra Trojans I had leftover from my date in the shirt pocket, hoping they would not fall out. I told the Doctor I had been "working out", that would have been kind of funny had the nature of my cardio workout been revealed.

Yesterday, I pulled out a pair of jeans I had not worn in a while, and I found a Trojan in the right hand pocket, and a fifty in the left. Think that is a sign that it is time for another date.
