I disagree. "Bodily autonomy" means you own your body and can decide what to do with it.
If the legal system says you can't engage in sex for money, then the legal system has governance over what you can do with your body. That doesn't meet the OP quote of "Bodily autonomy be is an essential unconditional liberty". It is now conditional. You have autonomy, unless you want to do X with it. That's a condition.
That's not a criticism of bodily autonomy, that is the criticism of work. In other words, it's a criticism of capitalism again
Can you truly consent if the alternative is not having money and everything that entails? When the alternative is starvation and homelessness? Sex work is not meaningfully different to work in general here
Nope, it has governance over what you can do with your money, your ability to have sex is unaffected. You can't seem to separate the two things.
