ICYMI: Some asylum seekers who have given birth in custody were forced to hand over their newborns to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. We were unable to verify what happens to the children of women who lack access to legal help.

Back in the early '70s there were these Christian comic books, drawn by one of the artists from Archie. We had some in the CYO hall when I was a young teen. I think this panel backfired, because it made me want to be more like her:

I've gained a lot of sex worker followers lately, so I think it's time to remind y'all that sex workers as a group are the best people. And whore friends are the best friends.

Regular readers of my blog know that this happens CONSTANTLY. Bourgeois white women have made scores of such accusations over the past few years. Most are just unidentifiable bogeymen, but some have the gall to accuse real human beings, trying to ruin their lives for attention.

If you mean "exploitative sex work", SAY that. If you mean "underage sex work", SAY that. If you mean "migrant sex work", SAY that. Because when you say "trafficking", whatever YOU may think it means, what the public thinks is "abducted 13-year-olds raped 100 times a day".

Every time I get a message through my sugar dating ad, I am reminded that the engine which drives sugar dating is guys who want to pretend they aren't paying for sex, coupled with women who want to pretend they aren't whores.

Prohibitionists blather "no little girl dreams of growing up to be a prostitute." Ignoring the obvious absurdity of this statement AND the fact that virtually nobody does what they dreamed of being as a kid, what was YOUR dream profession? I wanted to be an Egyptologist.

"Rape". The word for this is "rape", reporters. It isn't any less rape because the rapist was a pig; if anything, it's MORE rape.

C'mon, people, I think y'all all realize the time for euphemisms is past. Cops don't "have sex with" unwilling women; they RAPE them. They don't "confiscate" money & property from people; they ROB them. And they don't just "kill" people; they MURDER them.

Dolly Parton is the largest employer in Sevier County, TN. When the wildfires ravaged that area, she sent everyone displaced by the fires $1000 a month until they got back on their feet and a lump sum of $5000 when it was over.

They're using "were sex trafficked" to mean "sold sex". The reason homeless youth are disproportionately LGBT is that LGBT youth are more likely to become homeless, because many parents either throw them out for being queer, or make their lives such hell they run away.

Did you know? A study of 270 homeless youth from three US cities showed that LGBTQ+ youth, and especially transgender youth, were disproportionately sex trafficked. #blog #Endexploitation #lgbtqiaplus

But of course he did. Lots of people who see sex workers or even do sex work believe the popular fantasy of millions of "sex slaves" hidden somewhere. They don't realize that these caricatures are simply racist, misogynist masturbatory fantasies about ordinary sex workers.

People who define sex work as the selling of a body, or who say sex isn't work, are telling you a LOT about their own sex lives.

We must stop this BULLSH*T idea that sex work is selling one's body. It absolutely is NOT selling one's body. You do not own your provider's body. It is not your toy to use up and discard. You are purchasing an experience you both choose to share together - it is a SERVICE.
