Transformer
A derogatory term used in Peru for transvestites, particularly those working as street sex workers. The word is a mocking reference to the physical transformation they undergo using feminine clothing and heavy makeup. (Avenida Arequipa is a major thoroughfare in Lima known for street sex work in certain sections).
Be careful if you go through that part of Arequipa Avenue, because at this hour you can already see several transformers on the corners.
