My new favorite shirt. So sparkly. So completely on brand for me. Especially since it’s supporting a good cause. 

Some backstory: My friend Maggie McMuffin was fighting with a TERF who called her a “porn sick bisexual,” even though Maggie’s a lesbian, because apparently she got this crazy notion that trans women are women from porn? And that somehow makes her not a lesbian? I don’t get it either. Anyway, she made these shirts, and the proceeds are being donated to the Gender Justice League. 

If you want to support trans rights and have a glittery shirt of your own, you can still get them from Sparkletown Studios!

when ur so deep in modern exploitative women=sex objects culture that you can wear a t-shirt saying “porn sick” without puking at the thought

Porn can definitely be sexist. You know what else is sexist? Every other industry. Publishing, technology, teaching, Hollywood, medicine, food, accounting. Literally name a job, and there will be a list of women with stories of sexist discrimination. But we don’t say those jobs are bad because there are sexist people doing them. Porn can be sexist but it isn’t inherently sexist.

The way we make an industry less sexist is by letting women and gender minorities have more power and self control. I know countless people in sex work, doing exactly what they like. They’re happy, and they feel empowered. Are there bad days and drawbacks? Sure, but that’s any job. Equating all sex work with rape like you did in your tags makes it sooooooooo much harder for actual victims of rape in sex work to take action. Because sex workers DO consent to their work. Taking away their right to say yes takes away their ability to say no.

I will say, though, that SWERF ideology has literally made me puke before. Y’all are not kind people.

You know what industry I really like comparing the porn industry to? The novelty t-shirt industry, they produce incredibly misogynistic content very frequently, they’re usually produced under hideous labor conditions and yet there’s nothing *inherently* evil about them.
