The public and even medical professionals are so uneducated about brain injuries. I was untreated for my TBI for seven months, except to be told I had a “mood disorder” (that incidentally began the day I was in an accident — go figure).

Since coming out about my own TBI recently, I’ve discovered several sex workers who have had brain injuries. It’s such an overlooked disability and affects each of us uniquely. Sex work allows us the freedom to make income while working around the disabilities. It’s not always easy but I know I could never work in a civilian job even if I wanted to.

I’m so happy you won a settlement for your injuries. So very happy for you.

Disability is what made me choose sex work, because I could never hold a straight job either. Before I went full-time I was missing more work than I was making at my retail job. So, thanks for this. And I’m so glad you had a chance to tell the truth of your story.

This puts a whole new spin on Sasha’s story that the mainstream press neatly did away with.
