I don’t get why people accuse sex workers of taking the “easy way out” or making “easy money” like it’s a bad thing. Ignoring the fact that those notions are not true to begin with, who the fuck wouldn’t want to take the easy way out? It’s called being smart and using your time and skills efficiently. Why would I work 40+ hours a week at Starbucks to make $1000 a month when I could make that in one night dancing?  Why be paid barely $8 an hour doing some desk job under a huge corporation when you could charge hundreds per hour as a sex worker working under your own boundaries and conditions? Money is money. Do you think my phone company would let me pay less if I worked my ass off scrubbing floors because of the “integrity” or “dignity” of hard work? No. It’s one thing to value hard work (and if you do you should also value sex work because it is most definitely hard work), it’s another thing to think you’re superior to someone who just knows how to maximize their monetary worth. I understand that not everyone can, wants, or should do sex work. But stop shitting on us for the money we earn fair & square. Taking the easy way out isn’t something to be ashamed of if you’re not hurting anyone. Being successful in life (especially in business/finances) means finding the quickest route with the most profitable yield. It’s just smart.

Do what makes you happy and fuck whoever ain’t putting money in your pocket/adding something to your life.

See but the people who shit on sex workers literally get us killed so its not that simple. We cant just ignore the legislature, and constant societal intersections in our lives. People get fired from tesaching jobs because they USED to strip. We can’t ignore that. The point isnt stop being mean to sex workers. Its stop making our lives more difficult because you have incorrect preconceived notions about our work.
