The Laws That Sex Workers Really Want

Everyone has an opinion about how to legislate sex work (whether to legalize it, ban it or even tax it) ... but what do workers themselves think would work best? Activist Toni Mac explains four legal models that are being used around the world and shows us the model that she believes will work best to keep sex workers safe and offer greater self-determination. "If you care about gender equality or poverty or migration or public health, then sex worker rights matter to you," she says. "Make space for us in your movements." (Adult themes)

Toni Mac campaigns for better working conditions for sex workers by fighting criminalization and supporting public education projects around issues relating to sex worker rights.

Is it just me, or does she look like a cross between Jewel Staite and Ana Kasparian?

Which I know is sexist as all Hell, but I kept thinking that while watching. Could have been thinking a LOT worse things, so I'm actually pretty pleased with the reaction.

What fucking moron came up with the idea that condoms can be used as evidence against a sex worker?

FFS, of all the wrong-headed, moronic, puritanical bollocks.... that is just painfully stupid.

Prohibition never works. Didn't work for alcohol, doesn't work for drugs or prostitution.

Paybacksays...

Quoted for truth.

Going by shoe heel height and if their given name ends in an ee sound is far more accurate.

Brought to you by the same morons who think just because a person is carrying (X) amount of cash that they are clearly going to use that money to buy drugs or something else illegal. Without the monetary incentive of course.
There is nothing that these dickless wonders will not try at least once, because hey, maybe this will actually work.
@Payback
She's attractive, so why does noticing this make you sexist?

Because radical feminists feel that finding a woman attractive reduces her to merely being a sexual object. They feel that you should ignore a woman's appearance or you demean her. Telling a women she is attractive or beautiful is right out, you might as well have raped them on the sidewalk.

Now, please note I said radical feminists, not your normal woman who believes in feminism for equality and rights. Many feminists just want to be treated with respect and equality. Very few, I feel, are rabidly anti-male but they are the loudest voice in most cases.

Where there is a will there is way, folks. That is to say the sex world is now fully digital. There are sites that have yelpified it on the non-dark-net market; it works.

It ain't going away and you may even see someone you know in real life.

Just like I believe natural hallucinogens like mushrooms and lesser ones like bud should be legal - I believe sex work should be legal as well, taxed, regulated - etc. and people at large need to stop snarling down their preposterously ignorant/judgmental noses towards revenue & consciousness expanding possibilities.
