For this week's episode, we met with Tata (she/her). Tata is a trans sex worker as well as an LGBTQIA* advocate and public figure in Thailand fighting for the rights of trans* people, homeless people and sex workers. In our conversation, we go through various intersections surrounding sex work and Tata explains what it means to be a sex worker and elderly/trans*/homeless/working on the streets vs. in private establishments. Towards the end of the episode, we also talk about the sex tourism industry and the difference between the trans* and gay community in Thailand
