Also I hate the empowerment narrative of sex work because it supports the “your personhood depends on selling your labor” shit

The idea that selling your labor is the path to “empowerment” makes me want to punch things

I’m not in sex work, so the only thing I’m going to say on this is this:

• I think sex workers should be the only ones permitted to define their own narrative and experiences in terms of the work they do, whether that be demeaning, neutral, or empowering, and 
• I think feminists from all stripes of life should listen to and talk about their experiences, and not completely crap all over each other or exclude one another because their narratives don’t align and/or they don’t agree with each other.  This includes sex workers and their personal experiences, whatever those may be.

Oh look the non-sex worker talking over a sex worker is getting reblogged.  Another win for excellent discourse around sex work.
