So, with all the usual sites down where do you all look for TS enjoyment? And how do you tell the legit ones from the phonies?

The Ad Boards here on TER since many times you can line up ads with our reviews.
TS4Rent & Eros have many TGirls with verified ads (not that such is a guarantee of success, but I do know we have to at least authenticate our ID & photos to be a verified provider).  
I have heard that P411 is also reliable but not a wide selection of TGirls (I've applied to get on there & waiting, waiting waiting for reply).
Caveat with Eros that many of us have paused our Ads there since the monthly chunk of change doesn't have sufficient ROI during current circumstances (same happened in 2008).
Hope that helps & good luck hobbying!

And it's best when they have good TER reviews, of course

In the United States do a simple google search with the "city" then the word shemale; Chicago Shemale, New York Shemale, Miami Shemale etc.  

You'll find several links (found with Chicago shemale):

There are several links about where to find, but which site have reviews other than TER?
