The Democratic lawmaker who sponsored the bill told ABC7 that under the old system people were unfairly targeted based on their appearance, which would disproportionately affect transgender people.
Senator Scott Wiener went on to deny any claims the prevalence of sex workers outside the school was caused by his bill, which came into effect on January 1. Instead, he argued the problem has been an issue for decades.

But other members of the community suggested the phenomenon of sex workers loitering on Oakland's East 15th Street is a worsening phenomenon caused by building works that drove them into the residential area in which the schools located.

The old guy said “yea, when I was young and in the navy, I was in the Philippines and I screwed a parrot. I thought maybe you were my son”.
When did prostitutes become “Sex Workers?”

This is happening all over California and Washington now. Probably Oregon, too.
My, my how progressive.
I'm also a fan of Terry...
Don’t let that get out. Some will try it as a way to change gender.
Both are hilarious! Loved the skit when Terri is being accused of giving “tug jobs” in the bathroom of “Tacos, Tacos, Tacos, Tacos”!
Heh. Yeah. Put her in Saudi Arabia to sell sand to Arabs. Or Alaska to sell ice to eskimos.
She should sell big ticket items with a high commission.
My friend is trying to sell me on she's testing the driver; if Pythagorean theorem: A-squared plus B-squared = C-squared. I'm not buying. Wink, wink.
