I never really had a feeling about it either way as I not out to friends and family and I don't mix personally or professionally with any other sex workers.  My accountant iand HMRC are the only ones who know.

However.  I totally spat my dummy out after having a police check for a new civvy job and in other information section.  Came up as "known prostitute ".  Yes this funked me right off.  I felt it was used as a warning to protect others from me.  I not a criminal.  I don't do anything illegal but yet the police feel the need to give that out.  Yes its a derogatory term to me when used in certain circumstances.

I had a serious stalker that I had to get police involved.   I was the victim of a crime. I wasn't the criminal yet they added that info.
