Sex work won't exist under communist society, just like restaurant work, factory work, secretary work, etc won't exist under communist society. They're all work and work is abolished by the communist movement.
If sex work really doesn't require any special consideration, especially when considering the psychological impact, and is just to be treated as another form of labor under capitalism, i.e. exploitation, then by extension should sexual assault simply be considered assault?

Sexual assault isn't about sex, it's about power.

And, also, we should be giving every form of work special consideration for differences in the industries, but we should be doing this as a part of the broad communist movement to abolish all forms of work and free us from the domination of class society.
-
We shouldn't criminalize any sort of work because the law isn't how we will abolish these forms of domination, nor should we stigmatize sex work because stigmatization isn't how we abolish these things.
-
Instead, we should focus on how the organizing of sex workers will be effected by their particular circumstances and give special considerations based upon the ways it will be to allow for sex workers to liberate themselves as a part of the broader communist movement.

I don't think 'special consideration' necessarily implies lobbying against the sex industry and that's not what I'm interested in.
