It still surprises me when, in discussions about sex work, anti-sex-work feminists are extremely quick to dismiss my experiences for literally any reason under the sun. I'm too-online, I'm too-successful, I'm white, I 'choose' to do this - aaaanything to mean I'm not valid.

It just feels... arrogant? Like, for someone who's never done sex work and likely has met few, if any sex workers, to go to someone who's been in the industry for a decade and confidently be like "Naw, you don't know what you're talking about"

Like, I get it if it's like "Well you come from a certain segment of sex work, and the issues of sex work I have come from a very different culture/location." Okay cool, I can work with that. But it's never that. It's always a confident "you are one in a million with no idea"

I did, as did nearly every other person in sex work. They say that it's not really a choice if you were under economic strain. Which is also funny given I *was* under economic strain when I chose to enter sex work.

When people say they care about diversity or marginalized voices they always mean they want more people who agree with them. You don't agree with them, therefore you don't count. Incoherent excuses always hide the real reason, which is entirely consistent with an agenda.

But you're the *wrong sort* of sex worker!
The only ones they want to listen to are the ones who say "I had a terrible time doing this, therefore *everyone* must have had a terrible time and it must be banned!" which fits their White Knight Saviour Complex mentality.
