Sex workers: sex work is work, and the best way to keep us safe is by decriminalizing our work.
Some random person who's never done sex work and never spoken to a sex worker about this: Well, actually, what you need is a legalization model.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.

The same country that will make someone famous for pretending to spit in a dick is also making sexuality illegal 🤡
Oklahoma is trying to put pornstars in prison for 10-30 years RIGHT NOW and people aren’t realizing what slippery slope we are on.They are using the same terms they always have, and you’re not safe if you just consume porn either. If we don’t show up for swers now its only gonna get worse for all.
