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.

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)

Second Peer Review
Hi, Brookeenglish! I think your work helped to make this article both accessible and comprehensive. The article is very well-researched, with claims supported by evidence. A suggestion that I have to further improve the article is to consider its organizational structure. It might make sense to rename the “Current state” section (perhaps as “Overview”) and include the “Causes and effects” section there, as a subsection. “Health issues” and “Discrimination” could then follow as separate sections, as they are specific issues affecting the community.

Also, you could consider providing more country-specific information about transgender sex workers, if available, to give a global scope to the article. Currently, the article has specific information about only the U.S. Again, thank you for your work on this topic; I look forward to reading your final contribution.

Transgender sex worker → Transgender sex workers – This was moved by Brookeenglish in 2017 to be consistent with Sex worker. However, that misses an important distincton. "Sex worker" is an occupation (or broad description for a set of occupations). "Transgender sex worker", however, is not. Transgender sex workers are sex workers who happen to be transgender. Their significance is as a group, not as an occupation, as born out by the articles' sources. Per WP:NCPLURAL, articles on groups usually have plural titles, so the previous title here should be restored. -- Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 01:02, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
