«She Wore the Costume for a Month. We Wear It for Life»
A memorial for Gloria Steinem.

— SWOP Behind Bars 🇺🇸

It's speaks volumes about how insidious sex worker stigma is than even after experiencing it firsthand, it's still so easy to turn it around and play its consequences as an intrinsic to sex work.
Just imagine the first movements for labour rights had taken the same interpretation of the hideous exploitation and working conditions that motivated them…

Anyway, great writeup.
Quoting their accompanying thread below.

[There are other issues with Steinem's work and practices, yes. Some pretty damning. They don't really change any of this beyond making the wording look somewhat overcharitable, though, so I'm sharing anyway. Those issues likely explain the untouched "why". The point, the "what", basically remains the same.]

> In 1963, Gloria Steinem put on a fake name, a fake age, a satin corset, and took a job as a Playboy Bunny.

> Then she took the ears off, went home, and spent the next sixty years telling the world what it means to work in the sex industry.

> She wrote about the wage theft. She wrote about the required gynecological exam and bosses who treated a cocktail waitress’s body as a company asset. All of that was labor journalism, some of it was good.

> But the women she worked beside did not get a byline.

> They got written about.

> Steinem called the assignment a disaster, “personally and professionally.” Editors stopped taking her seriously. Men wouldn’t stop asking about the costume. She was describing exactly what stigma does to a person’s career.

> She just never seemed to notice that she was describing our lives.

> There were two lessons available from the Playboy Club.

> One: sexualized labor is labor, and the people who do it deserve wages, safety, and the right to organize

> Two: the sex industry is degrading, and women in it are victims who cannot describe their own experience.

> Steinem chose the second one.

> When Amnesty International moved toward supporting full decriminalization, after consulting sex workers on four continents, she signed on with the coalition that tried to stop it, alongside a roster of Hollywood names who had never worked a stroll or a strip club or a cam site in their lives.

> She championed the “Equality Model,” the “Nordic Model,” the “third way,” whatever the branding was that year. It is the same policy every time: keep the worker’s clients and colleagues illegal, keep her landlord and her driver and her security person prosecutable, and call that liberation.

> Why this matters to us specifically-

> SWOP Behind Bars exists because of what happens when powerful feminists decide that the women on the bottom need saving more than they need rights.

> Our people are in cells right now because of laws written by legislators who quote Gloria Steinem.

> She spent a month in a costume and used it as a credential for six decades.
> The feminism that put “abortion” on a magazine cover and the feminism that put sex workers in jail were the same feminism, from the same woman, and the movement she leaves behind has to reckon with that.

> Rest in peace, Gloria. You fought hard. you Were right about a lot.

> But you were wrong about us.

Support trans sex workers.

Is being a brothel prostitute more dangerous for health than being a porn star?

Today, on #InternationalLesbianDay, we must stand in solidarity with marginalised groups. The criminalisation of sex work continues to endanger vulnerable women, especially lesbian, trans, and migrant sex workers. Stigma and harmful laws isolate them, making it impossible to work together for safety.

#Sexwork

#LGBTQ+ folks #rally for “#Strippers’ #BillofRights” that would also end #policeraids on #gay #bars

One #stripper said the state's "#lewdconduct" #regulations are #symptoms of a #society that #criminalizes both #sexwork and the #LGBTQ+ #community.

Hi! I'm Danny! Your friendly neighborhood freaky boy.
@admindan is my admin alter ego, but this account is for my regular self.
I dream of a world where the sluts, sex workers, kinksters, fetishists, roleplayers, cosplayers, horror fans, dead dovers, genderfuckers, rebels, artists, smut peddlers, and various other creatures of the night always have a place to socialize and share and discuss their thoughts, feelings, lifestyle, work, art, etc freely.
Advertise, collaborate, celebrate, joke, shitpost, vent, make friends, fuck it! make enemies, do whatever you want, the point is that you'll be allowed to speak about it openly.
Personally, I'm a kinkster, fetishist, online sex worker, and practicing slut, among other things. My interests will become very clear in no time at all haha
Full name is Danny Redwoods. Maybe best known as roachcreature on twitter, but also known elsewhere as Danny the Cryptid, roachcryptid, or even Elliott Peeps but that's a deep cut haha
Talk to me abt kink, Cyberpunk 2077, Metronomy, horror, comedy, or Kate Bush! Or other stuff, that's cool too haha
