One might assume then that the cause of arrest or incarceration is sex work, but in a study of female, male, and trans women sex workers in San Francisco, Cohan et al. (2006) found that trans women sex workers were more likely to have a history of arrest and conviction on sex work related charges than either male or female sex workers.
