Sex Work is Work

[Cityside15]

Sex work is defined by “work”, not by transaction. Work does not to deemed legally transactional for it to be classified as work. The taxes I pay this working income certainly lets me know it is work.

I get what you are trying to say but the government has said and the CCC have been made so that I am allowed to “legally” work. They have made selling sex legal. Actually, selling sex was legal before C-36. Selling sex itself has never been illegal. There have just been provisions that were illegal. C-36 gave us less provisions to deal with. I don’t deny that one part of the “transaction” is not legal but my part is legal and my part is the working part.

You can try to make it Illegitimate all you want but it doesn’t mean it is true. My job is legal and it is work. Therefore sex work is work.

Please don’t be one of those people who negate or take away the validity of my job.

What exactly in the hell are you two arguing???? It is plain and simple, sex workers are WORKING and earning money. The absolutely oddity in the entire thing is that while it is LEGAL to be a sex worker, it is illegal for a person to hire one. That is what is called having your cake and eating it too... YOu can tax the sex workers, make it a bit safer for them by not risking arrest if they need to call for help, and they can nail people who hire them and prosecute them. You can define what a transaction is all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that someone being paid to have sex with you, which then, is work. If you go rake your lawn, that is work, but it didn't hit your legal definition.

That is just fact. If someone wants to say you aren't working, let them. If someone wants to claim it is work and it isn't, let them. Sounds like someone needs to hire you @Jenesis for you "not to work" on them and destress them!

You are right. People will have the opinions they do. I don’t mind a debate and always reply when someone quotes me out of respect to them, but I’m not here to change minds. Just hopefully enlighten them.

However, some stress relief would be in order here. If my job was work that is. LOL.
