    I never said they don’t have extremely high rates of being sexually assaulted - you did and then you proceeded to argue against yourself.

    If you read the document you linked though, you’d see that it actually supports the decriminalisation of sex work because this would reduce the amount of violence experienced by sex workers.

    It also says that the proportion of men who are violent against sex workers is quite small and those men are serial offenders.

    Again, stop listening to conservatives on this and actually read the documents instead of trying to find things to support your own point of view.

      It supports my whole point. The world of sex work is filled with abuse and all sorts of nefarious stuff going on. You don’t want someone involved in it teaching kids anything about sex.

      Doesn’t matter if it’s a small fraction of offenders, because those small fraction of offenders still affect the majority of sex workers.

        The sex workers aren’t the perpetrators of the violence though.

        The clients are.

        You’re not making sense. Are you blaming the sex worker because they are abused by the client?

        Yea, the world of sex work is filled with abuse. Because it is illegal. Because when I had to do sex work, because I am transsexual and was unable to pass at the time, because I had gotten fired from my minimum wage job for daring to present as the gender I am, I had zero protections. Because sex work is illegal, if someone chose to not pay me after the fact there was nothing I could do.

        “Hey cops, this guy decided to shove a knife in my cunt when I was fucking him for grocery money, can you fix that please?”

          I know it doesn’t mean much, but I’m so sorry you were made to experience that. It’s inexcusable, and you should have had support from society for that. I wish I could hug you, and I sincerely hope you’re in a better place now.
