Female Pronouns[edit]

Is it appropriate to use female pronouns to refer to prostitutes in China...I know that the vast majority are probably women but are there transgendered and cross-dressing male prostitutes like in much of the rest of the world? Sure same as the she´s of Mongolia who are desperate for the legalization of prostitution. Modern Mongolian women who had the pure Mongol race killed for this reason as they prevented them by their law not to be sold want to prostitute themselves internationally for a dollar per customer for life they also do not want to bear any children to be acceptable to any type of pimp even if illegal.

Look into sources pertaining to male Mongolian prostitution, or find sources that explain why Mongolian men would not engage or rarely engaged in prostitution. How did Mongolian women migrate to China for the sex work industry? How long would they remain at their brothels? Or would they perform solo work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thompsts (talk • contribs) 23:32, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One Child Policy?[edit]

Perhaps would it be appropriate to include something on the speculated link between China's One Child Policy (and resulting gender imbalances) and prostitution? StaticElectric
