If they REALLY want to help, where are the voluntary services for sex workers that don’t revolve around abolitionist’s personal politics, the revolving door of a failed legal system, or that which is saturated in shaming or indoctrination?

Why are they ok with adding to the difficulties that sex workers already face?

Why doesn’t it make sense to these people that we need to move away from criminalization because it absolutely makes things WORSE not better!

Frankly I’d like to be a little bug on the wall during private chats that these ladies have (not all abolitionists are women however the great majority indeed are and this in itself says something) because I’d bet that there is more than ‘we want to help the children’ going on as far as their motives go. There is a great deal of shaming going on and I say to them: PLEASE KEEP YOUR DESTRUCTIVE SHAME TO YOURSELVES.

Something that needs to be discussed more are the providers who are motivated to do healing work with their clients in the context of sex work. Regardless of any credentials or lack thereof, there are sex workers who do what they do from a healthy platform and these people actually find fulfillment and thrive doing the work that they do. Of course the idea that a woman can actually enjoy let alone be empowered as a sex worker is well beyond the abolitionist construct.

So called ‘solutions’ such as the ‘end for demand’ philosophy is deeply flawed because it hurts more people than it can ever hope to help! The very notion that they can change human nature and behavior in this manner is pure arrogance. It’s as if they have no idea how humans tick and they are ignoring the real causes of the issues they seek to remedy. If you do not have a handle on the cause of an illness how can you even begin to cure it?

Keep your heads high sisters and brothers! Thanks to everyone sticking their heads out there in the fight for freedom!
