Irenes (many)just for the record
the reason there can be trans tech workers is that trans sex workers fought for our rights
we all need to stand up for sex workers, we can't allow ourselves to be embarrassed about it. respectability is a trap.
jo@ireneista "Sex work" is abuse, and it is horrible that many of us are subjected to it.
The only people saying it's liberating are men who benefit from it.
@jo that depends immensely on the kind of work
but with that said, we're not trying to pass judgement on the nature of the work, we're saying to stand in solidarity with the people who do it

not sure abducting people from their place of work and exiling them from their homes is as liberating as JO thinks

@floppyplopper @ireneista holy smokes that is not what I said in the slightest.
I stand with sex workers, I stand against ICE, but I don't stand for sex work itself, and I see sex workers as victims.
@jo @floppyplopper in fairness, you didn't really, like... you clearly wanted to react to ideas coming from, like, .... proponents of sex positivity within conservative ideologies, who incorrectly equate sex positivity with feminism and pursue it in horrifically objectifying ways?
@jo @floppyplopper that's just a guess based on context clues, we had to go read your timeline to get a better sense of who you are and where you might be coming from. feel free to correct us.
@jo @floppyplopper anyway if that is the perspective you were coming from, it's a topic we suspect we share your anger about, but the thing is that it's not actually relevant to our call for solidarity? or if it is, you kind of need to explain how... your remark was such a tangent that it shouldn't be surprising people interpret it in different ways
@jo @floppyplopper anyway, please don't argue with each other in our mentions. none of this is on-topic, and therefore it detracts from the call for solidarity that we want to be the main focus of discussion.
we just felt it was better for everyone if we spend a few more words explaining why we're asking you to stop. we have now done that. thanks for understanding. 💜
