I’m gonna say something: I am a sex worker, been unemployed since October 2018, and am currently trying to get another job so I can better cover things I need, like phone service, public transit, rent, hygiene, HRT and food.
I also organize, write, edit and do photography. I am among millions of people doing work we love, like, tolerate and hate. And we matter.
This labor day, think about Black trans women who have to struggle for a living, in more ways than one.
