«She Wore the Costume for a Month. We Wear It for Life»
A memorial for Gloria Steinem.https://www.swopbehindbars.org/post/she-wore-the-costume-for-a-month-we-wear-it-for-life
— 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.

«Let Us Survive: An oral history of sex worker movements before and after FOSTA-SESTA»
Podcast by Hacking//Hustling collective.https://hackinghustling.org/research-2/let-us-survive-oral-history-podcast/
(Page includes links to episodes and transcripts.)
> Let Us Survive, an oral history project by sex workers for everyone, covers a decade of American sex worker justice movements, roughly 2013 to 2023. It also gazes towards the future: of the industry, and of our labor organizing.
> This podcast does something that US Congress didn’t do: we listen to sex worker voices. Voices along the Choice-Circumstance-Coercion spectrum. We explore how sex workers use technology to keep ourselves safe, to build community and culture, to not only survive but thrive. We listen to our fellow sex workers and survivors as we talk about our movements, how we’ve responded to FOSTA-SESTA and other policies. How we feel about federal raids on internet platforms like RentBoy and Backpage. How we feel about the Communications Decency Act and freedom of speech. What we believe reproductive justice activists and others can learn from sex worker organizing. Why we’re fighting for the decriminalization of sex work, and how that will only be the beginning of the changes we need to see.

As a sex worker, when I did in-person work, it wasn't just intercourse. I did a lot of reassuring of (cis) men about their size, listened to a lot of people's relationship problems, and sometimes people genuinely just wanted to cuddle, they were so desperate for physical(non-sexual)contact. Whether it's sexual in nature or not, most people are looking for connection-to be seen, to be heard, to be understood-even if it's only for a moment.

A library as a show piece?: Art patrons, a Florentine cortigiana onestà, and an in-house library study in “Arte”
Veronica’s study/library shown in the fifth chapter of the Arte mangaBack in November 2024, I wrote about the anime adaptation of Arte, which is set in Renaissance-era Italy, noting the library scenes in four episodes, noting how in the episode “Courtesan”, the protagonist, Arte, goes with her master, Leonardo, to the house of Veronica, a courtesan, and they visit her study. While there, she marvels at how impressive the library is, with Veronica saying she needs to entertain her gentleman callers with education, and she offers to let Arte borrow books from her collection, with the latter saying that while standing in her library she can’t view her with anything but respect, saying her respect is for how hard she works, not her profession. It is in this same place that Veronica counsels Arte on her love for her master, Leo, and where Arte realizes that while she will listen to Veronica, she can’t forgive how she treats her clients, as she learns what it truly means to be a prostitute.
In that same post, I also noted the brief library scene in the next episode (the fifth in the series), entitled “Inseparable Bond”, in which Arte goes to the library/study to get Veronica’s advice on speaking to a difficult client, and in the beginning of the eighth episode, entitled “A New Chapter”. In that episode, Arte and Veronica again talk in her study/library, with Veronica saying she couldn’t imagine Florence without Arte, and bidding her farewell as she prepares for her Venice trip. It is implied then that Darcia talks to Veronica afterward about reading (Arte teaches her to read), but not directly shown. In the final episode of the anime adaptation, entitled “Apprentice”, Leo visits Veronica in her study/library, and they talk about the art commission she is offering him, and she is willing to pay him more to make a good artwork (and to buy expensive materials), and she jokes that Arte “she prefers Venice over Florence,” something which likely gets to him, without a doubt. The manga is a bit different.
Veronica is introduced in the fourth chapter, but Arte and Leo do not meet her until the fifth chapter, when she is, again, called a cortigiana. At the time, cortigiana, meaning courtesan, some called them palace ladies, or donna di palazzo. Veronica would undoubtedly be a cortigiana onestà, which one scholar called “the high-‐class figure of female influence who achieved an unparalleled level of emancipation in the profoundly patriarchal world of Renaissance Italy.” [1] In the fifth chapter, she is described as renting a house with the money she makes as a courtsean (what we would now call a sex worker) and like in the episode “Courtesan” I mentioned earlier, Arte is impressed, and after Veronica declares she has read every book there, Arte is even more in awe. And she even gets to borrow books from the study, with Arte saying she respects Veronica’s hard work.
It is thanks to that fascination she gets her first commission, just as she does in the anime. She admires how intellectual Veronica is and is undoubtedly appreciative when she tells her that the feelings she has for Leo are romantic. Again, this generally follows the anime, including when she sees the terrible conditions that lower-class courtesans work within, and what love can do to someone, a narrative which continues into chapter six. Veronica is the one that tells her she doesn’t “have time” for love. The library itself continues to be shown as somewhere where Veronica shines, above anything else, giving her an allure of someone learned. All the while she treats her clients in a way that Arte (and most) find disreputable. This continues in chapter seven, when she dreads having to give Veronica the painting. An interesting scene, not in the anime, is when Leo comes to meet with Veronica, who says she will pay for the portrait in time, not “like one of those cheap prostitutes.”
What Arte says in the fifth chapter reflects how some people think of librarians. This view of Veronica changes as she gets to know her betterThe scene goes so far that Leo says that Arte keeps “acting strange,” then she won’t be working at his workshop anymore, leading Veronica to advocate for Arte, saying it would be cruel to fire her, and saying she has taken a liking to Arte. This creates an interesting comparison between Arte, an apprentice barely earning anything, to Veronica, which he finds curious. Later on, Arte realizes she has to set things right, and realizes that Veronica hides “her struggles below her smiles.” She ends up giving her the painting, saying that while she can’t condone how Veronica treats her clients, she is doing it to have an independent life, and works hard in many ways. It is also revealed she is providing for the rest of her family as well!
Even so, Veronica acknowledges the job is “sinful” but she will continue to keep her smile until she dies. Even after all of this, she still wants to advise Arte on anything troubling her, as a friend, and Arte accepts this, as she knows it is important to have someone like her as a friend. In an interesting article I found, one scholar wrote that “during the Italian Renaissance, mythology and art contributed to the increasing popularity of the cortigiana, or courtesan.” That actually does fit with the series, with Veronica as an art patron! The latter is mentioned by Arte to Angelo in the next chapter. In the process of that discussion and others, she breaks through Angelo’s paternalistic attitude that girls need to be protected by men.
Some chapters later, Arte meets Veronica again in the library (at the end of chapter 10), [2] which continues in the next chapter, when she helps Arte negotiate with Ubertino. She reveals that he worked in the wool trade. What she tells Arte allows her to hold her own, teaching her everything from the beginning step by step, including proper posture, speech, and listening skills. She uses to this to appeal to him, especially using her lace art drawings, to pull him in. Veronica’s role in what some, historically, would call an “honored courtesan,” continues to be a major plot point in the story. In fact, Arte visits Veronica again in the beginning of the sixteenth chapter, when she gets a painting from Arte which she wants to keep herself, rather than giving it as a gift to someone. All the while, Veronica says she is expecting things from her, and she feels embarrassed to talk to her, like she is doing something “forbidden.”
It is her running into a Venetian noble afterward and his talking to Veronica, again in the study/library, is what leads Arte to her job in Venice. This is almost exactly what is portrayed in the anime. The same can be said of the eighteenth chapter, when Arte goes to Veronica again, this time asking about a dispute involving the daughter of Leo’s art master (Lusanna), in which she says that disputes over money involving widows is common. She is the one which gives the idea to Arte to approach a person with status and power: the Venetian noble (Mr. Yuri Falier) who wants her to travel to Venice to tutor his cousin, for a six-month period. Even Veronica is surprised that Arte is going so suddenly to Venice in the next chapter, saying it will be a “little lonely” in Florence without her. Again, it is implied that Dacia will go visit Veronica to get books to continue her study of reading and writing.
Arte confronts Veronica in the seventh chapter and states her principles.Unlike in the anime, at the end of the nineteenth chapter, Dacia does visit Veronica, and is very nervous, saying she is only there because she is Arte’s friend. Veronica convinces her to sit and chat down for a bit, but no more is shown, because the story moves onto the next chapter. Nor does it appear in any other chapter, sadly. In fact, there aren’t any library scenes going forward as the story moves to the Venetian arc and there aren’t any scenes in Florence!
In writing this post, I am reminded what Italian history scholar Margaret F. Rosenthal wrote back in November 2018 for Renaissance Quarterly, examining how one cortigiana onestà, also known an “intellectual courtsean,” named Veronica Franco, was restricted in her professional activities, or whether socal forces compelled or contained her “cultivation of a literary identity” in Venetian society, and the maneuvers she adopted when she “obtained entrance into an elite literary circle.” [3] Similarly, another webpage I found comes to mind: cortigiana, like Veronica, enjoyed a “glamorous lifestyle augmented by an education that enabled intellectual interactions in a secular rather than a religious domain.” This was even reflected in paintings like the strongly erotic “Portrait of a Woman known as The Courtesan” by Jacopo Palma il Vecchio in about 1520. [4]
Ultimately, whether the library is a showpiece for Veronica or not, it is also a symbol of how she is a thinking person, an intellectual in her own right. The study/library is a place she can be here own, a place she can be dominant, more than anyone else.

Notes
[1] There’s even a Wikipedia page entitled “List of Italian Renaissance courtesans.”
[2] The aftermath of chapter 10, a feature describes her as “busty.”
[3] This article comes as no surprise considering that she wrote a book in 1992 entitled The Honest Courtesan about Veronica Franco, a courtesan in 16th-century Venice.

> En cette journée internationale des TDS (#2Juin), le Parti Pirate rappelle une urgence : celle de protéger les travailleuses et travailleurs du sexe. La loi de 2016 dite « contre le système prostitutionnel » a échoué. Elle a précarisé, isolé et exposé aux violences.
> Face à cette marginalisation, nous portons un programme clair basé sur l'autonomie, la dignité et la sécurité des personnes concernées. Notre objectif ? Abolir les mesures répressives et instaurer un cadre légal et social protecteur. #PartiPirate #DroitsDesTDS
> 1. Reconnaissance et droits sociaux Nous voulons abroger la loi de 2016 et reconnaître le travail sexuel comme une activité économique légale. À la clé : un vrai statut professionnel avec accès à l'assurance maladie, la retraite, les congés et la parentalité.
> 2. Fin du faux proxénétisme et protection Il faut modifier le Code pénal. L’entraide entre TDS ou le soutien des proches doivent plus être criminalisés. En revanche, nous renforçons les sanctions contre la véritable exploitation et les abus économiques.
> 3. Sécurité et lieux autogérés Le droit de choisir/refuser ses clients et ses pratiques doit être garanti. Nous proposons d'autoriser les lieux dédiés autogérés : se regrouper collectivement pour travailler en sécurité, sans contrainte ni intermédiaire.
> 4. Accès aux soins et accompagnement Renforcement du suivi médico-social et un accompagnement réel pour les personnes souhaitant se reconvertir. La sécurité et les droits plutôt que la répression.

Chapter 10: The curse of Pink Kitty
During my time at Pink Kitty, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. It's possible I've romanticized my time with PK in past writings so I want to shine a light on the darker sides. Give some nuance on what it was like working for Jason and Lisa.

I had just moved from my hometown to Ottawa for college, I was eighteen then. Jason was still incharge at the time but grooming Lisa to take over PK for when he leaves and Damien was the driver. Back then, I did not know about the cop, Sgt. Rohan Beebakhee, was involved with the agency. Everyone was hush hush on the topic.
Who was Jason? A handsome voice behind the phone, pulling the strings and holding all the cards. I was fresh young meat to Jason and he made sure his money maker (me) wasn't going anywhere. Publicly Jason talked highly about me and would book clients for me back to back to the point I didn't get much of a break from working. Most thought I was spared from his wrath and entitlement but behind the curtain, I was not. I have never met Jason in person nor have I seen what he looks like, but I'm sure I'd remember his voice because it's burned into my brain like a branded scar to show ownership.
I was naive and easily manipulated...blackmailed into not leaving. Jason knew where I was going to college, he knew where I lived and had my original back page nude photos with my face... I could see the headline then, "Student expelled from college for soliciting sex to men for money!" Jason always got what he wanted and I wasn't going anywhere until I was no longer the fresh meat.
Days I would have off or be in class, Jason would call and text me needing me to come in to the condo. Jason would try to sweet talk me into ditching class and if I tried to say no he would find a way to manipulate me in doing so. Whether it was with holding clients from seeing me or threatening to expose me, as long as I was making money he was happy and making money. At that point, I was working more than I was attending class and was just the beginning to my downfall.
Even though, Jason wasn't at Pink Kitty for very long when I joined, he still made a lasting traumatic effect on me. At first it was a relief when he left and Lisa took over, until it wasn't.

CW: Wild self ad / Money / Sex Work Support
This is a live-stream announcement. And the main topic is #MONEY!
yay? YAY! Most of the #questions that I received after launching my #support #group for #SWs were one or another way about it.
Yes, you can #ask me how much I was paid for a piss and how I dared to ask for a 10k #deposit. All of it.
The offer I'm going to talk about isn’t just a way for me to make some #cash. It’s mainly to show others what’s #possible.
Yes, this is both an act of #selfpresentation and an act of support for other sex workers and #artists trying to sell their work.
I don’t know exactly what the #stream will look like. I can only guarantee one thing: no one has ever done this before.
So get down to my #website around 4pm CEST tomorrow (20.12.2023) and let’s see where it goes.

“Using online surveys and personal interviews with a range of sex workers…FOSTA-SESTA severely curtailed their ability to work indoors, work independently, and share support or harm-reduction resources…some reported turning to pimps or other predatory third parties and engaging in street-based work, which is exponentially more dangerous”

#BadKarma hit another gal ( online name #CanadianGypsy ). She's an #ableist , #PathologicalLiar & #abandoned her own teen child in AB. Uses #environmental causes & #Indigenous causes to boost their online clout. Puts her animals through hell in environments that aren't stable. Tries recruiting women into #sexwork & lies about being #native too. I'm contacting #Indiginews when back in Vic because they featured her & her lies in recent article about #StopTMX - she only started activism last yr.
