With legalization, comes regulation – of sex worker’s bodies, by the state. No thanks.

The decriminalization model when it comes to prostitution means something different–as in New Zealand and parts of Australia, it just means that sex work is treated like any other business/profession. Whereas legalization often means sex workers are forced to live under hyperregulation–as in Nevada, where brothel employees aren’t allowed to leave the brothels during their 3 week shifts lest they be suspected of “soliciting” simply by virtue of being in the town, so that the brothels can squeeze them by charging them high prices for basic necessities like laundry, and they’re also forced to deal with a whole host of other ridiculous laws which exploit their labor and mainly benefit rich male brothel owners.

That sounds confusing…. If it is legal then isn’t it decriminalised by default? My understanding is that decriminalizing doesn’t make it legal it’s just not considered a criminal offense. I find it odd that it’s somehow too far too have support for the legalization of prostitution.
