I'm all fired up - so much for my Twitter break! (But this just reminds me *why* I'm trying to take a break!)
I consider myself to be a "survival sex worker," as this is where my food, phone, rent, ads, and transportation comes from.

I will consider myself a survival sex worker until I can afford my own apartment (vs. renting a bedroom in a home, without a formal lease or rights), obtain a car, have a few months savings, and/or another stream of income. Oh, and health insurance.

3/ But, along the way, the Escorts who charge almost triple me, take it upon themselves to lecture those like me, saying we "perpetuate" whorearchy. To be exact, it was from misunderstanding a post I made saying that for me personally, I'm not comfortable with virtual packages.
4/ I truly believe It's okay to subjectively say, "this activity doesn't make me feel self respected," without saying that the larger activity is degrading in general, or to other participants. It's okay to say, it's fine for you, but it makes me feel gross or uncomfortable!
5/ Taking this from logic to emotional now, it feels so frustrating when more privileged escorts judge me, condemn me for perpetuating whorearchy, from the luxury of their nice apartments, where they are filming with the latest and best equipment, and can afford to not even work
6/ ..where they can afford to follow CDC guidelines and not even work right now. Meanwhile, some of us are willing to take in person dates out of necessity, at a fraction of what the "lecturing escorts" charge, but, they find ONE TWEET to define us by, and accuse us of whorearchy
7/ If I even attempt to define whorearchy here, everyone will jump down my throat for getting it wrong.
But it seems to be the idea of believing some forms, levels, or rates of sex work are more legitimate and kosher than others ...the idea is that is stigmatized some forms

8/ Mainly, the forms often stigmatized on the news, street level, etc. I don't think there is a problem acknowledging there are "levels" to this. Not using the word "level" to mean a trajectory from bad to good. More like, nuances. There is no denying, some charge 1k an hr..
9/ ...while some charge 150 an hr. Some don't charge by time at all. Some work outdoors. Some indoors. Etc, etc.
I use the word levels to explain a price point and expectation level. For example, mid level, to me, means 250-500/hr, hosted in a 3-5 star hotel/apt.

10/ That does not mean that one level offers a better level of service than another level, per se. Or, even, more beauty (beauty is in the eye of the beholder, anyway). I consider myself mid level. Some may take offense to me claiming to be a survival sex worker, by those rates
11/ But to bring it full circle, the Ladies who accuse the most about whorearchy, in my experience, would not take a date below a certain rate, can afford to turn dates away, and their marketing subtley perpetuates whorearchy without ever using the buzz words. HYPOCRITICAL!
12/ Those who harp and accuse another worker of perpetuating whorearchy, can avoid the words that suggest it, but actually LIVE whorearchy. By avoiding contact with some "levels" of sex workers, to avoiding dates below a certain price point, to only retweeting a certain aesthetic
13/ Yes, this thread was triggered by someone accusing me of perpetuating whorearchy, after I mentioned that virtual content made me PERSONALLY feel degraded a little. I did not mean to imply that it is degrading to others, as long as they are comfortable with performing!
14/ But if the expectation is for me to find ALL forms of sex work comfortable FOR ME in order to not be perpetuating whorearchy, then those accusing me, but charging 3x me, should be willing to charge my rates or lower, etc., etc., if willingness Is the defining point..
15/ My brain hurts. I'm going back to my offline happy(er) bubble. 
I really get frustrated when people who don't know me, have never messaged with me, DON'T EVEN EVER READ MY POSTS, REPLIES, OR REPLY, judge me OFF 1 STRAY TWEET and come at me. They deleted their replies but

16/ I'm a lover, not a fighter, but I'm also not going to take things sitting down anymore. I'm learning how to speak up and speak back, more and more. Which, is who I was as a kid, before the parents whipped it out of me, LOL. 
17/ I like to be liked, and like to get along with everyone, but more and more, I just can't take hypocrisy, catty or petty behavior, baits, etc., sitting down. And in case anyone wants to say I'm drunk right now, I'm 100% sober, and these are my genuine thoughts.
