About the Book

An incisive, intimate diary of the life of a travesti sex worker in Brazil, with a foreword by Charlotte Shane So What If I'm a Puta, originally published on author Amara Moira's popular blog of the same name, consists of 44 crnicas that wryly portray her experiences as a trans sex worker in Brazil. In a brazen, funny, and at times heartbreaking voice, Moira explores the political and personal textures of her encounters with the men who buy sex from her, and the complex reality of her labor of a sort of love. Woven through Moira's essays are reflections on transition, safe sex, desire, whorephobia, consent-in the grim context of Brazil's record rates of violence against trans women. Ultimately, Moira writes to center trans sex workers in Brazil's putafeminist movement, modeling a feminism that envisions inclusivity, safety, self-determination, and joy for us all.
