    Because one of the biggest issues with sex work, human trafficking, gets worse with legalization.

    Yes, because legalizing sex work is just criminalizing sex work with extra steps. It’s very easy to see an (alleged) “rise in sex trafficking” when the legalization shuffle allows politicians to all of a sudden decide what is “allowed” sex work and what is “sex trafficking.”

    This is why shitty studies like the one you linked is so thoroughly non-credible - it was performed without the input of the people who actually know what they are talking about - ie, sex workers themselves.

      What the fuck are you talking about?

      legalizing sex work is just criminalizing sex work with extra steps

      So what’s the solution?? You just made random assertions without any sources and didn’t suggest any alternatives. All while skimming over the very real trafficking/coersion problems unique to sex work.

          Do tell… is this the first time you’ve actually considered what sex workers themselves have to say about (so-called) “legalization?”

          The sex workers with those opinions usually are the already more well off workers who perform escort or cam services, and isn’t reflective of the bottom strata of sex worker experiences. It also doesn’t address how more common sex work leads to higher trafficking rates.

          trafficking is not unique to sex work in any way, shape, or form.

          Lol I’d love any source on this whatsoever. I’m not sure how you defend this line of thought, or why you feel this way. You don’t think human trafficking shares any of the same risk factors or conditions as sex work?

          ROFLMAO!

          LOLCOPTER

            You’re going to have to do a whole lot better than hiding behind impoverished people.

            It also doesn’t address how more common sex work leads to higher trafficking rates.

            That has already been explained to you.

            Lol I’d love any source on this whatsoever.

            You need a source to tell you that labor and refugee trafficking is a thing?

            I’m not sure how you defend this line of thought,

            It’s really simple… I have no wish to demonize and criminalize sex workers - unlike you.
