SWOP - What's it all about?

We are recruiting t-girls at the moment......did you girls get that screening form filled out?

I thought this was a "hands on" audition?

T I did NOT find it odd that chapters should be required to participate in 4 events a year locally.

But really fucking odd that 2 out of the 4 required events are a gay pride parade and a transgender "day of remembrance" Originally Posted by Black Sedan

New topic....

Who is familiar with SWOP Sex Workers Outreach Project-USA?

http://www.swopusa.org/

Sex Workers Outreach Project-USA is a national social justice network dedicated to the fundamental human rights of sex workers and their communities, focusing on ending violence and stigma through education and advocacy.

Sounds like a very worthy cause to me. Are any of you ladies involved with them? Originally Posted by Chica Chaser

SWOP is indeed a very worthy cause,though it does have a few problems. First, it is highly San Francisco-based and outlying chapters have trouble connecting unless they're large (for example, Chicago has a big one). Second, their chapter-forming requirements are pretty strict and many providers would find them intimidating. Third and most important...well, Amanda Brooks said it best: http://www.texasgoldengirl.com/after...rt-bell-curve/
