sex work

ok i had to fix my grammar. but the white girls who do OF and live in mansions say it’s empowering because they get a choice. so many women are trafficked into it and don’t get a choice, that’s not empowerment. SW as a whole is not empowering. most women do not get the choice

no disrespect but “doing sex work” and “being trafficked” are by definition two different things, it’s important to separate those two out of respect for victims / survivors of trafficking. either way, sex work itself isn’t *innately* empowering, but I think that’s true of most jobs. tbh I’ve worked in the adult industry due to lack of options myself, so I have a lot of thoughts on this subject

it’s undeniably fucked up that when someone can’t manage to hold a conventional job for whatever reason, some of us would end up Needing to turn to SW as a last resort. but what I personally found somewhat “empowering” under these circumstances (as a disabled person living in poverty) is the fact that I was able to make an income independently off of the fact that men wanted my attention

let’s be real, you not supporting marginalized workers doesn’t actually do anything to materially benefit victims of trafficking, which means this is more or less just a moralized justification for an opinion you already hold

making an income from men’s attention is not empowering sweets. i respect that for some people it’s a last resort, and if you feel empowered that’s great. but SW is NOT empowering even if it’s your choice, but that’s my opinion and i wish you well

my options were ending up dead on the street, trapped living with abusive family, or doing SW. if you “don’t support SW”, you’re supporting the idea of people like me ending up in much worse situations

it’s not your place to tell me whether I can or can’t be empowered by my specific individual experiences, that’s incredibly condescending. please listen to the people you’re attempting to speak on behalf of
