An unusual profession in the close community

I happened to meet many boys, let me put it this way! the bridge boys or Pagan Decorators during my trip to Yangon.  I was almost like a character-loss person for having induldged myself with them.  I talked to them and I came to realize their feelings.  I tried to understand them and then I did.  They told me that most of the people (customers) they met had no understanding.  They only think about give and take.  And they,  Pagan Decorators in a very humble voice with clear eyes they happily share their dreams.  I am sure they are going to make their dreams come true one day and they do have that ability, too.

How would you comment a person being a commercial sex worker regardless of their gender?  Commercial sex worker (CSW) - the wording is quite uneasy to accept in the community but to look into a broder perspective, it is a profession.  And CSW are service providers.  I cannot accept the fact that they are being looked down in the community but I do not also have the ability to turn the norms and cultural beliefs of our asian society in an overnight.  What do I do?  Just to change myself.  What else could I do?  I can share my point of view with my family, friends.  It is quite sensitive to do that but I must.  It is also one of my dreams that I would like to make come true.
