Amanda and Jill, thank you for sharing your stories and for being such brave and amazing women. Friendship and solidarity with our community is the most important thing we have; through our love and respect for each other we learn to love and respect ourselves.

Thank you, Tits and Sass. I feel my heart growing (and breaking) with every story and truth I have read here since I was a confused young escort. I love the community here, you have all made me want to keep fighting. We deserve better.

It’s important that other sex workers avoid him. We know we’re not his first victims, but we are probably going to be the loudest.

Anyone who isn’t a sex worker and reads this needs to understand that Bruce and Pig did what they did — with impunity — because sex work is criminalized in the US. Criminalization only empowers criminals, and creates victims where there should not be any victims. That message hasn’t been pounded into everyone’s head yet, so this is another (very large) nail.

The research report into sex work in Northern Ireland, prepared by researchers at Queen’s University Belfast, can be found here:

And here are translations of two interviews with sex workers in Germany published in kaufmich:
