Canceling on sex workers during a pandemic when we are both limited in our ability to work and vilified for working at all is beyond cruel. Pay cancelation fees. Tip well. Respect us.
In many cases sex workers set up child or pet care, alert their loved ones they will be away, turn down other booking to prioritize you. The costs of a cancelation can be very hefty on both wallet and mind. The pandemic is not over.
And please stop sending “check in” messages. No! We are not ok. Yes! We do have to pretend we are. If your message does not include a gratuity I do not believe you actually care for my well being. Ask for how to send cash if you must inquire.
A million and one thanks to the men who have supported me and my peers without any fishing or requirements. If you have a stable job you are doing infinitely better than we possibly can.
One last thing. If we let everyone who had “COVID” symptoms cancel without penalty then that nicety would be abused and we would pay the price. I have no way to verify you are being honest. Pay. Cancellation. Fees.
