Legitimacy is at the crux of good research. You are doing a survey that hold massive negative ramifications for the sex work community and don’t seem to care that we’re going to suffer from your actions. And this doesn’t even qualify for the moniker of replication!

Fuck yeah I am. I take my community’s welfare seriously. I take ethics seriously. I take soliciting labor of marginalised populations seriously. I, for one, am self-aware. It’s sad you don’t feel the same. But then again, you are a self-confessed unethical researcher so

It's not really that
it's that the data she's asking for isnt something that's safe on a Google doc, nor is it endorsed by any peer based org. It's just very iffy. As a community people LOVE to lunge onto statistics and warp them. It's just not a good idea, especially atm2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

I agree that statistics are really dangerous, as in easily warped, taken out of context, read to mean things they don't actually indicate. I try to keep this in mind and be really open about data limitations whenever I talk about any results from my surveys.

Like I said, if you feel so passionate about this project, then work with a peer org. There are so many in the USA. Create safeguards. Protect your community. Don't be wilding with some Google spreadsheet like it's the wild wild west of research

No, I have a really strong distrust for mainstream academia. I don't trust them, I don't trust their competence or their moral sense or their incentive structure.

And my own community is super good at statistics and have been the first to eviscerate me on all the tiny details in the past years where there's been mistakes in my work. I've learned a huge amount from them and they terrify me more than anything =p

At the end of the day, don't be surprised when critique happens about iffy / dubious research methods.

It's happened to me before and I'm sure it'll happen to me again - it's a constant learning process for me!
