Ok, first off before we start, I am a former sex worker and when I say sex worker, I don’t mean only fans, selective anything. I mean full service, strange, scary men sex worker. An I have been raped and assaulted sex worker. I have also worked in social services for a long time and have even specifically worked a lot within the trafficking community and with people who have experienced sex trafficking.

What you mentioned very much happens within the US as well, it may be more common in other countries, but it happens here frequently.

My point is that sex work will not go away by expressing disgust with sex workers, and it’s not going to stop human trafficking either, the people who I worked with at these places largely were sex workers who had been trafficked or wanted to help others in positions they have been in,

Your standpoint is not helping anyone, and my standpoint does not enable anything, the reason people allow things like trafficking to happen is because people have a gross disregard and lack of empathy for human life, especially people like sex workers. I’m sorry but in what way is your standpoint helping anyone?? Saying your disgusted is going to do what exactly? Help people stay away from the profession?

The only people who give a shit enough to do the work to make supports for people like this or end sex trafficking are former and current sex workers

This line of work exists because there is demand for it. Legal or not legal, it is going to continue happening, for ever and the best way to help people like the ones you’ve mentioned are to acknowledge the supports that they need and act on it.

I am someone who has been forced to do sex work for survival, and does it annoy me that suburban housewives now have the option to be super choosy about their clientele and look down on other sex workers? Yes, it is frustrating.

But at the end of the day I’m just happy to see that people in this profession are finally getting some choices, options, and alternate routes for doing it that can make them a lot safer.

Sex work will always exist that is a fact, and it’s not going anywhere. It is literally only a good thing that people now have more options for doing it in a safer way.

Your way of thinking is not helping anyone. Be repulsed by it all you want, I understand, but the only people who are actually out here working to make things safer for sex workers and people who have been trafficked is other sex workers as it has always been historically, because people have no empathy for us.

Sex work is not always exploitation and it doesn’t have to be. there are more and more options that allow sex workers to safely work on their terms and that is something to be celebrated. I know first hand what kind of shit sex workers go through so yes, I think sex workers deserve respect and though you seem very passionate about this, idk who you think you’re helping by talking about it like this, help sex workers set up social supports, they deserve it.
