I was talking about my film yesterday and someone asked me why I care about sex workers so much. I thought I’d take the time to explain why I care about sex workers and you should, too. #SexWorkIsRealWork 1/

Thank you to everyone who pledged to the crowdfund campaign for Distance: Sex Work in the Pandemic! We successfully reached the greenlight amount and now have enough support to complete the film!

@OMissPearl Thanks for the additions. I could rant on this topic for hours, but you've added a good intro. Happy birthday, btw!

So what's the relationship between #SexWorkIsRealWork and #TransRightsAreHumanRights other than the fact that many trans people have experience as sex workers? Let's start with a look at survival sex work and #TransYouth and family rejection.

[Vivian Veidt @v_veidt]

I'll talk about #sex #exploitation and #survival #sexwork in a future thread, but for now, I'll leave you with these points to consider. The issue is much more complicated, though, and this is just an introduction.
