First, it is very bizarre to me how people consistently erase all people who are not heterosexual cis women from the equation of sex work.

Thank you for this reasonable and progressive viewpoint. I hope more people come around to this stance.
People with a sense of misplaced moral superiority, that’s for sure.
How about not telling anyone what they “should” or “shouldn’t” do in their lives if it doesn’t harm anyone?
The most righteous arguments on this topic always come from people who essentially want to impose their views on other women.
What world do you live in where feminism cannot help every last person in the sex work equation?
Exactly.
No, but legalizing and regulating is absolutely going to help the consenting adults who choose sex work, and conceivably can help adults who have been forced into sex work.
Exactly this. A lot of sex workers that conventionally used Craigslist and tumblr have been forced to move from the safety of online contact and screening to finding clients on the street, alone, usually at night.
One solution I’ve heard thanks to my adjacency to world of sex work is a registry for workers.
No, I cannot get behind your viewpoint.
Thank you for supporting consentual sex work.
I flagged that one response to you because christ.
My sister is a sex worker. No one ‘encouraged’ ‘suggested’ or coerced her into the field. You really have no right to speak for sex workers.
I will never understand this either. The mindset of, “I got mine, fuck you” is goddamned atrocious.
Right?
Is that not exactly what’s being tested here?
NDAs should not be used to cover toxic workplace behaviour.
It’s the horrifying tactic of keeping people desperate enough to be abused misled, but not quite desperate enough to rise up.
They are in love with the power they are afforded over others in the name of that freedom.
