People were really upset that I said that teen sex workers exist and that does not mean they are being sex trafficked in actuality. And somehow that translated into me saying that it’s ok for adults to take advantage of youth. No, this about recognizing young people’s agency

while also saying that the people who ultimately need to be held accountable are the adults that take advantage of the young people. Yes, it’s disgusting.

But a lot of young Black people are doing things that we may not “agree” with to survive, so they use all resources

Listen to sex workers, many will tell you that they were younger than 18 when they got started. And some of them with no pimp and some of them with a pimp. I know we are uncomfortable with having these discussions, but it’s even more terrible that we would live in a world

where people are more repulsed by these actions than to actually keep these young people safe. They figured out a way to survive, and repulsion is the first response?
