Transgenders in Armenia
by Nazik Armenakian
Cross dressers and transgender women who engage in sex work have a more difficult time hiding their identities than other member of the LGBT community in Armenia.
Transgender sex workers are more in danger and frequently assaulted. Many of them find themselves soliciting clients in the park because they can't find other work. Many of them have had a difficult childhood: they were sexually assaulted at a young age, grew up in orphanages, or lived in socially insecure situations. Being deprived of family, education and employment, many of them have chosen the easiest though most dangerous way to make money: sex work.
Many of them are gay men who, upon leaving home or being unable to find work, turn to sex work. To be a woman in a man's body, to be desirable, to give pleasure... 1, 2, 5 years later it's hard to think that they're not transgendered. It's no longer a mask - it becomes a way of life.
