Another pernicious cultural lie about sex workers is that a SW who sells sexual access has somehow sold part of their humanity. This one is deep and insidious. We are hyper visible as sexual objects and providers but invisible as full people. So we have to justify our humanity and I'm kind tired of that. "We're kind, too! We're also smart! We too have loving relationships and families! We have boundaries!" are all things we somehow have to assert even though we live our lives very much as humans do with integrity and love.
i love when you read a book and you become so emotionally invested in it, and when you walk around public places after reading it you feel like youโre in this bubble by yourself, like youโre so deeply inside your mind youโre actually out of touch with reality.
