«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.

and I know most of you don't have money either and all, but swers also need to eat, and what you don't NEED is free porn.
is even boosting, that doesn't cost you anything, too much when you're all here saying to anyone that YOU support sw?
will we need to go on a fucking fedi targeted strike to get "leftist" to just show basic support for our work ?
even you will struggle believe your own vocal and proud #sexWorkIsWork if you have to only watch bot boosted stolen porn or pornhub 🙄

> Today, we amplify the voices of TGEU Board Members Tayri Fadil (she/her) and Alex Shah (she/her).
> “Today we honour SWers leading the struggle. We demand full decriminalisation, labour rights, and legal protection for migrant and trans SWers. End police harassment and persecution. Solidarity, resistance, and collective power until we win justice and safety for all SWers.” — Tayri Fadil
> “On this day, we amplify the political demands of sex workers for full decriminalisation, labour recognition, social protection, migration justice, and freedom from state violence, surveillance, and stigma. This day is a transnational call for bodily autonomy, intersectional justice, and the unequivocal protection of sex workers’ human rights. Sex workers are the ancient, present, and future of labour.” — Alex Shah

Oggi è la Festa di chi lavora, ma non proprio di tutte le persone che lavorano. Ce ne sono moltissime che non vengono considerate tali perché i loro mestieri hanno a che fare col #sesso. In compenso a queste persone, in Italia, si chiede di pagare le tasse perché #tutele e #diritti no, ma i #soldi guadagnati sì.
