it's kinda ironic that there's such a vibrant movement to let women have control over their own sexuality, yet we still have laws that would jail me for having sex if I happened to get money for it. We only mean "control over your own body" if it's socially approved control.

Serious question though: what do we do about the rampant abuse and sex trafficking? And all those who don't actually want to have sex, they just really need the money, no matter how much it damages them psychologically? I let myself just ignore them for far too long...

Working in a factory damaged me psychologically way more than sex work Also sex trafficking numbers are intensely unreliable if you look at the sources Decriminalizing sex work would let workers actually go get police help if they needed it.

But that's your experience. That doesn't erase all those who were deeply damaged by sex work, including many, many people I love. Including me. I agree about decriminalization, but that doesn't fix the problem, and we can't just keep pretending it doesn't exist.

I don't really want to talk about it. But I was in the industry for almost a decade. I watched a lot of friends slowly self-destruct, some of them to death, before I started acknowledging the damage.

Sure, some people are fine. But far, far, far too many are NOT fine, and we can't keep ignoring them. They matter. Their pain matters. Their lives matter.

I mean sure. But the answer to this isn't to make it illegal for the people who want to do it

But that's exactly what I'm asking: then what IS?

We decriminalize so ppl having a bad time can publicly seek support without risk of jail

Agreed, but that support does not really even exist.

And pretending it isn't desperately needed means that will continue to be true.
