What the letters mean
TS stands for transsexual and is still widely used on adult sites, mostly for trans women. TV means transvestite, someone who dresses as another gender but may not live as it day to day. Trans is the broader, more modern word for anyone whose gender is different from the one they were given at birth, including trans women, trans men and non-binary people.
Many companions use TS in their adverts because that is what people type into search engines, while preferring to be called trans in person. The profile is the best guide: if someone writes that they are a trans woman, use that.
How bookings usually work
A trans escort works like any other escort. Most are independent and some are with agencies. Incall means you visit them, usually in a private apartment; outcall means they come to your home or hotel. Our guide to incall and outcall covers the differences.
Read the whole profile before you get in touch. It should list the areas covered, rates, the kind of booking on offer and any rules. Send a short, polite message with the day, time and length you would like. Agree the price before you meet and pay at the start, as is usual in the UK.
Respect and language
Use the name and pronouns on the profile. Avoid slurs, even ones you have seen in adverts, and do not ask intrusive questions about surgery or medical history. Treat the booking like any other: be on time, be clean and keep within what was agreed.
Consent works the same way it always does. Anything can be declined, and either of you can end a booking. Our guide to consent and boundaries explains more.
Prices and staying safe
In the UK most trans escorts charge somewhere between £150 and £300 an hour, with London at the top of that range and outcall usually costing more than incall. See what affects prices.
The big ad sites carry many fake profiles. Watch for photos that look like a model shoot, prices far below the usual rate and requests for gift cards, crypto or a large deposit. Our guide to spotting fake profiles has a full checklist, and you can browse trans escorts across the UK on AskedFor.
Your questions, answered
Is TS the same as trans?
Not quite. TS (transsexual) is an older term still used in adverts, mostly for trans women. Trans is the wider, more modern word. Use whatever the person uses on their profile.
Is it legal to book a trans escort in the UK?
In England, Wales and Scotland it is legal for one adult to pay another for their time and company in private. Rules are the same whatever the escort's gender. In Northern Ireland paying for sexual services is a crime.
How much does a TS escort cost in London?
Most charge around £200 to £300 an hour in London, often more for outcall or overnight bookings. Rates outside London are usually lower.
