I grew up in an oppressive religious atmosphere that viewed deviant sexuality as harmful. It would 'corrupt my soul', it would emotionally drain me, it would make me a vacant-eyed wreck.
But no, it fucking didn't. They were wrong, I was fine. And they still don't believe me.

I'm mad at every person who irresponsibly talked about how porn is damaging, how we need to protect kids, without also reminding us that we have a duty to protect the rights and freedoms of consenting adults to behave how they wish.

These people just can't imagine that maybe human beings can *be different from them*. They think hey, I'd feel horrible if I engaged in sex work, so other people must feel horrible too! Such an egregious typical mind fallacy.

No, me and many other people like me *are different from you*. We have different relationships to sex, actually, genuinely, and our sex work feels good and vibrant and healthy. We're not in denial, we're not a threat, we're just different from you, why can't you understand that?

Check my facts? I was talking about the enforcement mechanism. Note that OF didn't do this voluntarily to comply with SESTA/FOSTA, nor were they forced to by federal law enforcement. That would involve due process!
No, instead the government threatens financial institutions...

I've also been doing sex work for a decade. Non sex workers aren't a monolith; some help, some hurt, and painting them all with the same brush will only backfire. the dude commenting was giving accurate, valuable info.
