Mary and Jane…

TrinidadExpress.com – By Cedriann J Martin

All of March Express Woman will share stories from some of the sex workers who have formed the CaribbeanSex Worker Coalition. Their accounts give insight into the realities of Caribbean socio-economics, sexuality and gender relations that led them to sell sex. Last week we spoke with a veteran Guyanese streetwalker. Now meet two transsexuals.

Let’s call them that. Mary is from Guyana. She is brash and brave. She shows off her breasts. She names names. Immediately she’s an open book.

Jane is Trinidadian. She is polished and discrete. She warms into telling her story only after her trust has been earned.
