Want to find out more about sex workers? Unfortunately, mainstream media will only get you so far.

In November of last year, I finally got back to work. But slipping back into sex work was far more difficult than I’d expected.

Whenever my job is mentioned in newspapers, blogs, or magazines, the same tropes tend to pop up: moral panic, drug abuse, violence. Journalists quote us selectively, so that it sounds as if we’re living out the sex-negative, whorephobic stereotypes the public are used to consuming.

Society fashions sex workers as “canaries” by making us the first targets of so many new technologies of surveillance and exclusion.

Are you friends with a sex worker? Here’s what being a bestie - and an ally - really means.
