You should have a right to comprehensive worker protections, same as anyone else. I mean I personally don't respect you as a person, but that doesn't mean I want you to suffer from a lack of healthcare and living wage.
You don't respect sex workers without knowing anything about them? Like just blanket not respect them as people?
It seems to me that most come from very dark places and are just doing what they can to survive.
In the building where I live there are several sex workers. One lives next door to me. I always make sure to be extra nice to her without forcing any kind of interaction beyond what's polite because I just know she must be having a rough time due to her work. Can't be easy.
