Sex workers are workers. But they don't have the same labor protections as any other blue collar or white collar job. The stigma from a cultural side is pretty small, especially given the millions of dollars flowing into online sex work.
The stigma from sex work being in a legal grey zone affects those who rely on the income to support themselves and their family.
Also I would be interested to know what other professions you consider "luxury service work" since I can't seem to find a proper definition readily.
- biophysboy 6y agoDefinitely agree with you on the labor protections - they are gig workers at the end of the day. And they're probably even less likely to "organize" (whatever that means nowadays) than other gig workers. By luxury service work, I mean something where you perform services for people with much higher than average disposable income. Basically think of all the bottom rung jobs in the most expensive parts of the most expensive cities.
- mmsimanga 6y agoIs the stigma not on both sides of sex transactions? In my circles I don't think anyone would boldly profess to being a regular at a brothel. Parent post asked a legitimate question, it's not clear how she intends to remove stigma on sex work.
- erichocean 6y agoYou remove stigma by desensitizing the broader population through repeated exposure. She's just one drop in a very large bucket.
