It feels like important inside information from a marginalized voice that has lived it. However what she does is leverage the shock at her personal trauma to push really dangerous ideas on behalf of really dangerous people and then shut down counter-discourse as being bigoted, discriminatory, or pro-abuse.

This is what got me, and thank you for clarifying it.

Either way, I am working through your essay, and it makes far more sense so far! I really appreciate it. The bit on active vs former sex worker voices was important for me as well, I can see how identity can be weaponized against marginalized groups.

Just got to the 4 models section! Will also add Revolting Prostitutes to my list.

Edit: finished it! Like I added above, thank you very much, it corrected my misconceptions and helped me better understand sex work in general.

ANYWAY, sorry to type so much, point is don't beat yourself up, it's really great you want to read more.

I think the biggest takeaway is that unless I am thoroughly involved in activism and regularly speaking with directly impacted individuals, I should be extremely careful before speaking if it's nevessary in the first place, and take a step back otherwise. I'm not trying to beat myself up, I just want to be a better comrade. Thanks again, I mean it!
