Yes, sex workers have higher rates of mental illness. Yes, sex trafficking is bad. Yes, sex work can be emotionally damaging. Yes, sex workers often have trouble finding jobs/partners. And no, none of these are good arguments for restricting the behavior of consenting adults.

Ofc sex workers have more mental illness - sex work is stigmatized, so the people on the outskirts will be the ones who do it. And ofc some will be forced into it, much as they are forced into many other kinds of labor. And ofc theres emotional toll, just like other jobs.
