Surely I'm reading this wrong, because this sounds bizarrely misogynistic and transphobic to me

    I think it's just different types of humour not hitting is all. Money under the strap part was her silly counter offer to me offering a $40 electronic transfer and the loonies ($1 coins) was my response because there's no way I'd use American money.

    The loonies I get but why the strap thing, did you actually talk to her? There's this bad stereotype that all trans women are sex workers so that's why it feels weird

    I did talk to her yes. That was the response I got after sending her this post.

    I found it funny because of how absurd it was so I posted the comment.

    I definitely didn't mean to further a bad stereotype, my apologies!

    Tbh I found it funny because while it is a harmful stereotype, it's also a career we've often been pushed into, and it's still a bold stance in many places for someone who'd admit to paying a cis stripper to admit to paying a trans one.
