People in my life know not to talk politics with me. I have some very big opinions about the way that the government in the United States does things. A lot of the issues that I care about aren’t discussed as freely as I would like, so I end up bringing things up during conversations that sometimes makes others feel uncomfortable.
I could give a fuck, honestly.
Sex worker’s rights are real rights and it’s a damn shame that we don’t talk about shit like this more often.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or AOC, as she’s been nicknamed, has taken up the sex worker flag and is running with it. I AM HERE FOR THIS!!!
I read the New York Post article where they shamed an EMT for making an Only Fans. I made a conscious decision not to write about it because it’s really fucked up that these “news outlets” keep trying to shame people with what they pick up as a side hustle. If someone is willing to pay money to see parts of my body that I am 100% comfortable with showing them, it’s my damn business.
There is no shame in consensual sex work. ZERO shame. AOC took to twitter to say the same.
Sex work is work.

The federal gov has done almost nothing to help people in months. We must pass stimulus checks, UI, small biz relief, hospital funding, etc.
Keep the focus of shame there, not on marginalizing people surviving a pandemic without help. https://t.co/eYib7310Rs
We’re in the middle of a global pandemic. Salaries are being cut everywhere because companies can’t afford to pay their workers. If an EMT decides that she wants to take control of her own destiny and sell some provocative pictures on the Internet it’s her business. If you’re not OK with that I’m not sure why you’re reading my articles on a pro-sex site.
We shame sex workers by perceiving them as invisible until it’s time for them to get outed. We get outraged that someone “with so much promise” would post images of their body Online for everyone to see. But we never circle back around to wonder if the media outlets themselves should be shamed. Blackmailing people and extorting them as click bait is just about as fucked up as you can get.
Normalizing the way that we discuss sex work should really be on the tips of every politician’s tongue. If you’re going to participate in antics behind closed doors, then you should probably be OK with it out in the open. There is no shame in utilizing sex workers, there is no shame in sex workers making money for providing a service to the individuals that want their services. We force that shame upon them because of the puritanical ideals of society and it’s really time that stops.
