What we need most is to be treated as people, respected, allowed to survive, be seen, not hunted as criminals or dismissed as victims too damaged to speak for ourselves I'm lucky that I've grown up in an era where there is more acceptance of my identity
At least, until I found sex work: A job I can work on my own schedule around chronic pain, a job where being queer is beneficial because it means more people I can work with, a job where I'm surrounded by other trans and queer people who understand me.

People make the best choices they can with the options they are given, and if given no alternatives, many sex workers have no choice but to turn to the streets.
Taking choice and autonomy away from those in the sex industry is not going to help trafficking victims. But by limiting options for those engaged in sex work, it will directly lead to violence and abuse. I myself am a homeless trafficking survivor, and I haven't been helped at all by this bill. And as a survivor, I know that attempting to abolish the sex industry will not stop sex trafficking.
Will people be able to keep themselves safe?
The answer, as sex workers have been saying this whole time, is clearly no. Let's cut the bullshit and just call FOSTA/SESTA what is really is: a war on consensual adult sex work.

Finally, prostitution should be decriminalized and laws meant to fight sex trafficking — the Stop Enabling sex Traffickers Act and Fight Online sex Trafficking Act — should be overturned because they make it harder for performers to work independently and give
But I expect the logic of commerce and technology will be consciously harnessed, as already in pornography, to address the unhappiness of incels, be they angry and dangerous or simply depressed and despairing.
The left's increasing zeal to transform prostitution into legalized and regulated "sex work" will have this end implicitly in mind, the libertarian (and general male) fascination with virtual-reality porn and sex robots will increase as those technologies improve — and at a certain point, without anyone formally debating the idea of a right to sex, right-thinking people will simply come to agree that some such right
"Cu exceptia cresterii pietei, orice altceva ne preocupam din perspectiva politicii - cum ar fi sanatatea publica si violenta impotriva femeilor - se imbunatateste atunci cand munca sexuala este dezincriminata", spune Shah.
If research suggests decriminalization benefits not just prostitutes but society more broadly, why haven't lawmakers followed the recommendations of groups like Amnesty International, the World Health Organization, and the United Nations, and stopped policing the sex industry?
