You are literally linking to an article praising a SWERF group that collaborates with pigs and the carceral state to abduct and kidnap women using their occupation as justification for state violence. Af3irm works with police departments on “alternative arrest” schemes. What the fuck.
If you want some context on this group:

Patriarchy, puritanical gender and sexual norms, classism.
I am sincerely begging you to please self-crit and maybe realize we don’t need a white knight to save us. All work under capitalism is exploitative, including sex work. It is just often less exploitative than other jobs available to a person. Not always, but often.
The comrade in the video talks about how she can’t acknowledge that because of the “suffering victim” vs “happy whore” complex society has. Not listening to workers results in them not engaging with leftists and writing off politics.
You generally post good shit and this is just gross. I’ve been assaulted by cops and authority figures that told me it was for my own good. Never again.
