Want To
Become
Famous
In Costa
Rica?
Come For
A
Transvestite!
That is
the
advice
of a
website
that
takes
note and
publishes
the
names
and
sometimes
photographs
of
vehicles
stopped
to chat
up or
pick a transvestite
(travesti
in
Spanish)
in
barrio Fátima
de
Heredia.

The
website,
"Clientes
de
Travestis
en
Heredia
: COSTA
RICA" is
just
another
tool the
residents
of
Heredia
are
using to
scare
off the
business
of
transvestites
in their
communities.
The
website
uses
information
from the
national
registry
to
publish
the
license
plates
of
vehicles
seen
transacting
for
sexual
services
on
public
streets
with the
men
dressed
as
women,
as well
as name
of the
registered
owner of
the
vehicle.
According
to the
website,
the
decision
to
publish
the
names is
due to
the
scandals
and
disorders
caused
by the
transvestites
and
their
clients
late at
night.
In one
case,
the
authors
of the
website
explain
of how a
bus
company
was
asked to
take
action
against
one of
its
drivers
when the
unit was
spotted
in a
parking
lot
and the
driver
inside
with a
transvestite.
In some
cases,
published
photos
asks for
help in
identifying
the
owner of
the
vehicle,
all in
an
effort
to
publicly
shame
the
owner
and/or
driver.
The
website
warns
the
owner of
the
vehicle,
publicly,
that
whoever
was
driving
the
vehicle
at the
exact
date and
time had
contact
with a
transvestite.
One
readers
to of
the
website
offers
the
following
comment:
"I can
imagine
the pile
of old
married
men
rolled
up
into
these
silly
issues
and
their
dumb
wives at
home
worried
they are
out in
the
dangerous streets
at that
hour. No
wonder
the
population
most
affected
by AIDS
are
precisely
housewives.
How
ironic."
