You know, it sucks real bad to have to see this shit all day every day from libs and chuds but it is always an extra punch in the gut coming from fellow “leftists.” SWs posts about our own lived experience get deboosted by Elon’s hateful ass algorithm but every day some new jackass who has never sold hole goes viral with some bullshit like this.

Then when we come to defend ourselves, we get to deal with the same tired SWERF ass arguments like “yOu aRe pRiViLeGeD yOu dOn’T rEpReSeNt aLL sEx WoRkErS,” “Blah Blah Blah Trafficking blah blah blah most of you are coerced.”

Yes I am coerced by capitalism to sell my labor. No my job is not inherently more exploitative than other forms of labor, and I would know because I have had a LOT of shitty jobs.

It just sucks, y’all. It sucks to be continually thrown under the bus by other “leftists” who apparently only support workers whose jobs they don’t find icky.

They will really hit us with some “Hate the sin, love the sinner” bullshit like fundies did to queer people in the 90s and 00s. That’s not a thing, you can’t claim to support us while you don’t listen to us, talk over us, and loudly proclaim that our livelihood shouldn’t exist.

(Please don’t tell me to get off Xitter, I’m there for work and there really is no good substitute.)

    every day some new jackass who has never sold hole goes viral with some bullshit

    One of those things I read and think, “I will never be able to spit fire this good.”
