Stop hiding behind "you don't know me!" like a teen delinquent on an episode of Dr. Phil. Nobody cares who you are. You're being judged on what you've said in this thread, not on who people think you are.
Oh, you're here to inform? Are you a sex worker? No? Well, are you an academic, then? No? Policy maker? Still no? Just an arrogant dude on the internet with unfounded opinions (that actual sex workers largely disagree with)? Ah, cool.
The levels of violence/stigmatization faces by clients and providers are not comparable. Any time a client brings this up they're telling on themselves.
Source? Where did you find this statistic? Oh, you made it up? Ah, cool.
lol, no. Stop self-mythologizing.
Who asked you to expose yourself? Why do you keep making this about you?
The stigma faced by clients is mostly irrelevant to our lives. We don't tell anyone we're clients and we don't face any obstacles. Also, weird move to throw a random grievance in there about "blurry face pics". Why do you care if SWs are proud of their job?
If you're in favour of regulation and licensing you're anti-sex worker. There's a reason the majority of sex workers want decrim. I believe the reasons why were discussed in another recent-ish thread, in which you participated, so if you play dumb I'll be looking that up for you.
You need to look at the world around you.
Again your assuming I'm not a sex worker this is a billion dollar industry with many different facets from manufacturing of sex toys, therapists, strippers, escorts, dj's, bartenders, drivers, and there are more. I could hold any of those positions, I think you need to take of your rose colored glasses and shut up. make a contribution instead of attacking.
The level of violence is comparable if you think otherwise you must be a provider in disguise.
My source is the reality will live in now and the knowledge to read and write and where to find the information. The information is out there in a place call the World Wide Web also know as the information highway, you just have to ask the right questions and not just attack other people because there threads don't meet your approval.
I believe Amber Glory said I should.
What's the point of starting a thread just to say stuff like this? Like actually, what is the point? To remind us we'll always be considered social rejects and garbage by everyone outside the industry? That our lives will always be in danger because of the stigma?
Besides rubbing the violence we face because of the stigma of our work in our faces, I genuinely don't understand the point of your comments.
It's people such as yourself(who are completely unwilling to have an open mind and would like to think the world will always stay the same and never change) who are the ones continuing the harmful cycle.
Perhaps if you try working alongside us to help break stigma down, instead of just telling us there's no point, change might actually start to occur.
And as someone else mentioned, history would prove you incorrect, as well as modern times, just look at New Zealand.
I believe Amber Glory said I should. Again try reading everything and not what you don't agree with.
The fact that you keep your activities to yourself is proof that stigma is a factor, and relevant in your life, you keep it a secret for fear of being stigmatized.
Not a weird or out of place statement why should I expose myself as a supporter like Amber suggest, when woman in the industry hide their identity.
You understand that with decriminalization, regulations follow, comparable example weed, alcohol, gambling all decriminalized but heavily regulated. Licensing will hell weed out those being forced to into the industry. The only people who don't want it are the criminal element that thrives in this industry. I am not anti sex worker. I am anti criminal. "locks are meant to keep honest people out." Laws and regulations are meant to keep honest people in check.
I think there is a condition for what you have its called verbal diarrhea. if insulting people is your form of discussing you really need to get a new way of life, you must be a horrible person to live with if your the only one allowed to have an opinion.
I have reported you and your posts speak for themselves you are a nasty individual who can only insult people and not converse like others.
