      economic coercion to bypass consent to sexual interactions that one would not consent to without the economic imperative

      This is infantilizing and demeaning to sex workers. It removes their agency.

      oppose trying to limit the size of their industry

      This typically involves state violence, suppression, and people actively being harmed.

      These are the higher paid, less exploited ones who often have a choice to walk away from it if they needed to

      I’ve answered this elsewhere in the thread. It’s not especially accurate.

      Keeping it illegal but decriminalized keeps it on the margins of society, which is a necessary part of luring people into starting sex work.

      Are you suggesting sex work should be fully legalized?
