You are talking about our livelihoods, our experiences, and policies that directly harm and in some cases, kill us. No, we will not “simmer down”.

You should be sorry for saying something so repugnant and discounting our voices here because they don’t fit your narrative. Instead you apologize for being “misconstrued” as if it’s our fault we couldn’t understand the nuance of your Real Doll comparison.

Without clients exactly how do you expect us to make a living?

That’s not what your original comment, the one I replied to, stated. What you stated was hurtful and contributes to the negativity we face on a daily basis.

I love it when “feminists” like you deride any article attempting to humanize us. Really, continue the good fight.

You do realize that human trafficking overwhelming involves the garment and agriculture industries? I hope you apply all of your assertions of abuse next time you buy produce or a t-shirt.

You do realize us sex workers sometimes want places to work, people to assist booking, and clients to actually fucking provide us income?! All of that falls under the umbrella of what they want to remain criminal and puts us in danger.

And society’s current seal of disapproval does...what exactly? It doesn’t suppress, violate, or push vulnerable women into the shadows?

Is that really how you think of us? “Masturbatory Real Doll”s? I’m assuming you think you don’t know anyone who has participated in the sex industry. I also assume you are unaware that opinions like yours is why a lot of sex workers distrust “feminists”...ya’ll degrade us way more than your average client.
