the reason sex workers get upset about misrepresentation in pop culture is not that we need everything to be "authentic." it's that misrepresentation leads to mass ideology which leads to interpersonal violence and discrimination by the state. it's a fucking material concern.

Here's some Sex Work discourse 101 for ya: some people who do labor you might consider to be SW don't identify as SWers for all sorts of reason, for which they don't owe you an explanation. They deserve labor rights, and protections from the cops & psychopaths who profile them.

it bugs me when people use the term "femme" as a catchall for women. it's often a good faith attempt to encompass cis & trans women as well as femme-of-center NBs w one word. but not all cis or trans women or NBs ID as femme. femme identity is separate from female identity.

if you "feel sad" for porn performers bc you think they won't be able to get any other job, YOU'RE probably the person who has the power to hire a qualified candidate for a non-porn job so perhaps it's YOU who should rethink your bias and hire more people who have done porn 💡
