A year ago I was fired from a sex ed job that I loved because they found out I was a sex worker. Every day since I have been haunted by the reminder of how disposable people treat sex workers. We are people. Our work is valid. We deserve dignity, respect and agency.

00:00 - Replying to @MissVChicagoLaughing / crying at: 1. the irony of preventing a swrker from teaching comprehensive sex ed (Abstinence only ed is so harmful) 2. The cognitive dissonance bw society criminalizing swrk but also barring us from having civilian jobs unless we give in to “rehabilitation” tropes
- I am so happy to finally announce that I am the new Managing Director for @swopusa I feel energized and humbled to take on such a role and fight for the rights of sex workers across the country. Huzzah.
- Replying to @MissVChicagoThe fucked up thing is I’ve actually been fired from TWO jobs (both sex ed) because of being outed. I read through this thread and it’s sad but not shocking how many people have also experienced this.
- Am I the only person not here for @bondingnetflix ??? It’s superficial and unrealistic. Like as an ACTUAL PRO DOMME I’m SO OVER mainstream portrayals of BDSM that erase risk aware and trauma informed care / consent. We are not one dimensional / not heartless. We are caretakers.

- Happy International Whores Day. I am proud to be a sex worker, and I am proud to be Black.
- (1) A form at a recent Drs visit asked if I engaged in risky sexual behavior such as selling sex for money. I asked the dr why commodifying sex was considered risky and he couldn’t give me an answer outside of just moralizing against sex work.
