What the fuck are you talking about?

legalizing sex work is just criminalizing sex work with extra steps

So what's the solution?? You just made random assertions without any sources and didn't suggest any alternatives. All while skimming over the very real trafficking/coersion problems unique to sex work.

I was totally onboard with them but the longer they talk the weirder the takes get.

Do tell... is this the first time you've actually considered what sex workers themselves have to say about (so-called) "legalization?"

None of this is a secret, Clyde.

unique to sex work.

ROFLMAO! No, genius... trafficking is not unique to sex work in any way, shape, or form. If you weren't filled to the brim with anti-sex work hysteria you'd have known that already.

The sex workers with those opinions usually are the already more well off workers who perform escort or cam services, and isn't reflective of the bottom strata of sex worker experiences. It also doesn't address how more common sex work leads to higher trafficking rates.

trafficking is not unique to sex work in any way, shape, or form.

Lol I'd love any source on this whatsoever. I'm not sure how you defend this line of thought, or why you feel this way. You don't think human trafficking shares any of the same risk factors or conditions as sex work?

ROFLMAO!

You're going to have to do a whole lot better than hiding behind impoverished people.

That has already been explained to you.

Lol I’d love any source on this whatsoever.

You need a source to tell you that labor and refugee trafficking is a thing?

I’m not sure how you defend this line of thought,

It's really simple... I have no wish to demonize and criminalize sex workers - unlike you.
