“Transphobia refers to various kinds of aversions towards transsexuality and transsexual or transgender people, often taking the form of refusal to accept a person's expression of their internal gender identity (see Phobia - terms indicating prejudice or class discrimination). Whether intentional or not, transphobia can have severe consequences for the object of the negative attitude. Many transpeople also experience homophobia from people who incorrectly associate the medically recognized condition of gender identity disorder as a form of homosexuality”.

Prostitution charge cut for transgender female

The first person to be charged with felony prostitution in Pima County was sentenced to 1 1/2 years in prison on a reduced charge Monday.

As part of a plea agreement, Sable Rose Taylor, a 45-year-old transgendered person, pleaded guilty earlier this year to attempted possession of narcotic drugs and attempted aggravated prostitution.

In doing so, Taylor avoided prosecution for aggravated prostitution, a charge he originally faced under a new law that makes prostitution a felony if the suspect has three or more prostitution convictions.
