Thanks for posting about December 17th. It's not just that we need non-sex workers to speak up for sex workers, but we need people to listen to us and include us in conversations about things that affect us. If I frequently feel anxious about and unwelcome in feminist spaces, I can't even imagine how the majority of sex workers feel.

Thank you

Thank you for this wonderful post.

It never fails to astound me and yet not astound me at the same time, that what should be a straightforward issue provokes so much controversy, even among self-identified feminists. To me it's simple: sex workers rights are human rights. I don't understand where the "controversy" in that statement is, but yet somehow it always becomes a debate. And yet this is not an "issue" to "debate" - these are people's lives. It does not matter what someone personally might think about the sex industry. The fact of the matter is sex workers deserve the rights the rest of us enjoy.

As one of the signs said in the march in DC today... only rights will stop the wrongs.

I was wondering what people were thinking about that Bob Herbert piece. Thanks for the link.
