It really sucks that there's so much investment in making leftist positions appear "radical". While I can accept being labelled 'radical'; it's absurd that a position like "sex work is work and should be legal" is regarded radical.

When you're regarded as radical, it can feel VERY isolating. That is
the point, though. Capitalist hegemony wants me to be isolated. It makes me weaker, sadder, less hopeful. Gotta fight every day 👊🏾
