This is where I need to see your possible topics, outline, bibliography.Ingrid.bego (talk) 14:40, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Overall I really love the direction your topic is going. I think it is a topic that needs addressing. I do believe you could add more information to all of your sections to make it a more well-rounded article. In your section on HIV I think it would be interesting if you covered the impact on the industry overtime, as now there are more resources for treatment and research. It would be interesting to see how that impacted it over time. The article seems very readable and I think it will be beneficial to have on wiki. Your sources seem okay and it is nice a lot of them have links so readers can find access to them for more information. If you wanted to add another section, or just add to the poverty/unemployment, it would be interesting to talk about the different societal stances on transgender people and the transgender sex industry. Looking forward to seeing how the article turns out! Mkbarnwell (talk) 17:52, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

I agree with the review above. I love how organized your article is. The only thing I would add in that regard is to bold the name of the topic in the introduction section. Also, adding more content to the article will be important. It could be cases, it could be research on cross-national solutions to these issues. It depends on what you want to research at this point. Hopefully, someone else will add to it in the future. Make sure to edit well as there are still some grammatical mistakes. Good job.Ingrid.bego (talk) 04:03, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Did you give it some thought on whether to use the term 'prostitute' or 'sex worker'? What did the literature say and use?Ingrid.bego (talk) 16:59, 5 December 2016 (UTC) There are still statements that are not sourced. In the last section, I would eliminate this sentence, as it is seems like speculation, unless you have a source to support it. "This violence may be motivated by perpetrators hatred or negative attitudes toward transgender people."Ingrid.bego (talk) 17:08, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Updating the article

Hi everyone! I am going to be working on this article over the next few months to help improve it as a part of one of my classes. I am eager to get started and I would love to hear any feedback that you have about the changes that I make! Brookeenglish (talk) 06:46, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Initial Review

Article did a good job of expanding the existing sections in a neutral and well-cited manner. It also draws on different countries as sources, not just relying on one country to describe the entire issue. I was particularly impressed by how easy the article was to understand, even without a large background of knowledge in both transgender issues and sex worker issues. One thing that I would look out for is integrating paragraphs that talk about overall transgender issues – they serve to introduce overall trends, but make sure that they don’t become to stand alone from the whole article. As I have said before, there is definitely going to be a lot of interesting research out there on policy and people’s efforts. Make sure to keep up the good work. It would be easy to lose neutrality going forward. Anyway, great job Brooke! Akweaver32 (talk) 19:00, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
