Let's make it perfectly clear: Sex workers are against trafficking in any form. If you don't understand this, I, as a sw rights director say "We are against trafficking and exploitation in any form" Let this be on public record
The "porn star" has a name. It's Stormy Daniels & she took on a entire political system and, won. She's a smart business woman & most of you couldn't do what she did! Show some fucking respect for that!
Here's a picture of me, a sex worker, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, activist. I look exactly like the anti standing next to me - fully clothed, no fishnets and stilettos, I have a head! I'm tired of sw's being not normalized & looking so different from everyone else!
When a woman says, This man raped me a long time ago, we say, “But that was in the past. He can’t change the past.” When a girl says, This boy raped me last night, we say, “But his future! We can’t wreck his future.” And there she stands, suspended between his past and his future
Sex workers are often portrayed as either very wealthy or very poor. It dehumanizes us into categories. We come from various sectors and everything in between. The government is either trying to save us or criminalize us. The antis are either trying to rescue us or destroy us.
Backpage: So, the prosecutor opened up with sex trafficking and ended with sex trafficking. He mentioned it over 40 times despite no trafficking charges brought against them! Defense has asked for a mistrial. Court closed until Wednesday. Defense will make opening arguments Wed

I tell him to burn all this shit to the ground! I'm so sick of the convo's that he's singlehandedly dividing the dem party. Lol Maybe if the dem party wasn't shit, it couldn't be divided.
So, for those who don't know, yes, cops can solicit sex from you while setting you up for arrest. It's not uncommon and legal to do so in many many many many states
A woman says, “This man raped me a long time ago,” we say, “But that was in the past. He can’t change the past.” When a girl says, “This boy raped me last night,” we say, "We can’t wreck his future.” & there she stands, suspended between his past and his future...

Prosecution continually hammering sex trafficking despite no sex trafficking charges being brought against Backpage! This infuriates me that the biased judge allows this over & over again! Did I mention she's married to AZ AG running for senate in 2022?

I'm reading a book called "Resisting Illegitimate Authority" right now and it talks about schools as authoritarian. Interesting
We had to cancel our 2019 conference because of Fosta/ SESTA. The largest sex workers conference in the US. We told you this is bigger than us! Sex workers are pawns cause we're the most disposable trial run there is
FOSTA/SESTA goes beyond sex trafficking. It guts Sec 230 of the Comm Decency Act and allows them to go after any content they deem inappropriate/sexual/immoral, etc. It goes after the entirety of the www. Think watered down PATRIOT Act on the scope of these combined laws
FYI: It's not sex workers fault that sex trafficking exists. Full stop on this narrative. Maybe look at global capital economics and you might find your answer there.
@Lauren_Southern
Judging by sw comments, we say stay far away from this person. Don't make her relevant by any means. Exploitation means not offering compensation and personal gain. Fuck off
FYI: Our sign on letter is to remove Laila Mickelwait from all platforms, including every board she might sit on and any removal from partner affiliations she has. Let us know in our dm's or here if you'd like to sign on!
Please use your influence and RT
If you exclude sex workers, immigrants/migrants, and transgender communities in your feminist agenda, you can't call yourself a feminist. You can however, call yourself an exclusionary feminist.

This man will kill your daughter. My Mom was kidnapped and had 1/2 her head blown off by someone who "loved" her. When men say they will kill you, they will
@CalesMcGinnis
My biggest pet peeve is when people ask "why don't you just leave?" There's a million reasons why she doesn't go and a million reasons why she stays.
LA sex workers! Arrests going down looking for girls & underage trafficking. So far, all adults being arrested and/or ticketed. Please be aware. We've heard NYC too!
Words like "quiet/family man/outdoor woodworker/had a wife & 2 kids/etc. etc.". How about he's a mf serial killer (for at least a decade) that killed sex workers whenever he got a hankering for murder? Yeah, that.
I was just speaking to a long-time friend who found me on FB about my work. Looking back, I've had a phenomenal career in sex worker rights advocacy. I ain't going to brag, but I've been showcased in a fucking museum as sw rights elder! Yeah, I'm going to brag!
Awwwww, I just received a "Cease & Desist" from a supposed organization that is working for decrim on sw rights. Lol There ya have it! A non-sw org silencing an actual sex worker-led org.
Legal forms and not legal forms of sex work is still sex work. Separating the 2 as hierarchy and somehow better than the other is ridiculous. They're coming for us all - equally
I'm not sure why the anti-trafficking people want to demonize sex work as being pro-trafficking. No one wants to see any human trafficked or exploited!
Melania's a lot of things but when you call her a hooker, whore, prostitute, you belittle our work as a sw rights organization trying to show that labor choice is autonomy.
