1) I see this EVERY damn day. People claiming to love and respect me, but who make jokes about strippers and escorts.
2) this raises a v good point. You know a SWer. You probably interact w one every day of your life and don't realize it, and not for the reasons you think. 1/ https://twitter.com/lewdliterati/status/1277023239986872321

The fact is there are TONS of SWers who would prefer to do SW FT, or who'd like to fully leave the industry in the dust. Both are valid! But since there's no social safety net for independent contractors like strippers and escorts, and SHITTONS of stigma against former SWers 2/
Many are forced to work vanilla jobs while caming so there isn't an employment gap on their resume. We're talking 50-70 hr weeks, just so they've the OPTION of leaving the industry if they so choose. Discrimination against SWers rejoining the vanilla workplace is RAMPANT 3/
And it's VILE because SWers have incredible, applicable skills that any business can benefit from. But we have to play both sides of the coin CONSTANTLY to avoid total alienation and isolation, and it is GRUELING. You 100% interact w a bank teller, a cashier, a receptionist 4/
who has an OnlyFans, who works at the local strip club three nights a week, who escorts when bills get extra tight, and it's 100% possible she either yearns to work the club FT or just find a decent 9-5 w benefits, but bc of our piss poor attitude toward SW AND workers 5/
She gets to do fucking neither, and it blows. SWer rights are worker rights, and you shitting on SWers or depriving them of the dignity that you afford other blue-collar laborers fighting for protections and security is fucking gross and whorephobic, fuck you very much. /end
