This is why SWERFs will never make sense to me, who are you to judge me for providing pleasure and comfort to another human being?
What is wrong in making other people feel good about themselves?
If I was a nun, you would call me a saint.
Because I'm a sex-worker you call me a whore.
Smh.

CW: Lewd censored topless pic
Hi I’m posting this because I got tipped today! Reminder that tips don’t have to be a lot, a few dollars from several people is great so that it’s not just coming from one person 💖
I’ll post the uncensored version sometime tomorrow if I make $20 more in tips! 😊

RE: https://mathstodon.xyz/@maxpool/116947287707513911
Interesting in its own abstract way. Of course rigid rules give their enforcers (formally appointed or not) too much power and support and amplify inequalities. (Big part of the push behind full decriminalization of #SexWork, abortion, drugs, etc.). Surely that's just an externality like the economists say.

"…what’s truly eye-popping about #OnlyFans is the amount of money in play. Sophie Rain, a self-professed virgin in her early twenties, claims to have earned more than a hundred million dollars on the site. Everyone loves a bootstraps tale—it’s the original American foot fetish—and OnlyFans’ headline-grabbing payouts have taken some of the #stigma out of #sexwork."

«Not Your Mama's Feminism: The Policy in Practice - The Softer Side of Criminalization»
> What was once openly punitive is now framed as diversion, exit, or support. People are told they aren’t being punished - they’re being helped. But the help comes with conditions, and those conditions begin with arrest.
> The police still initiate the process. The courts still control the outcome.
> The assumption driving these systems is not subtle. It is the belief that people in the sex trade cannot be trusted to define their own needs, that safety must be coerced, and support only works when backed by punishment. Once this assumption is embedded in policy, autonomy is no longer possible.
> What disappears in these systems is not just flexibility, but real choice. Services are not offered freely. Under arrest-based “support” models, assistance is no longer something a person can opt into or out of; it becomes something they must earn through compliance.
> Genuine equality would treat sex work like every other form of labor affected by risk, stigma, and exploitation. It would mean access to services without arrest, healthcare without surveillance, job training without coercion, and the right to stay, leave, or transition on one’s own terms.
> Buyer criminalization and mandated exit programs do not offer equality. They offer control with better branding.
