Ben McGee (@mcgeesees) posting from São Paulo. I’ve become friends with a number of the sex workers in the neighbourhood where I’m living. This woman is a transvestite and from the moment we met she has been honest, open and holds my safety as a priority. I know it’s not all a paradise, not all of my interactions with other people have been positive, but I understand that the lives of many of these people is more difficult than I could ever imagine.
