No sex worker should feel ashame for their job. The ones I know don’t at least.

I get you were joking and I see how my comment may come over as prude. It’s just that it’s a very harsh Industrie that is often marginalised. More often than not it intersect with people of lower class seeing it as one of the few ways to earn money. Those that work it often have to hide it, even if it’s legal, because there is a huge taboo around it. And then of course there is a huge dark area where mostly females are human trafficked into a country and then forced into prostitution.

Makingsex work to be a legal job and getting legislation like in this thread here helps a lot and is indeed progressive and positive.

I feel like making fun of these people isn’t helpful, or progressive at all. Nothing against a lighthearted joke, but your comment offers nothing else but sex jokes and a lip service remark about how progressive the law is. I feel like it is making fun of sex workers more than anything else.

If that makes me a prude gatekeeper in your eyes (and the eyes of the downvoters) then be it so. You can think of me what ever you wish. I’ll have to live with that burden.
