However, my work is about the dystopia that women face in modern society, the focus on aspects of the negative but its not about the finer details of the job and how people are deprived, lonely exploited, trapped. Its about human rights and what happens when you stigmatise a group of people and criminalise activity surrounding it. Thus leading to a risky environment when women are made to work alone, cannot register there job to fit with immigration laws, are evicted from their accommodation for simply working, when any other freelance job lets you work from home.
The thing is Lou, is that we know all of this already because we live it. I don't know if you understand how patronising it is when people keep popping up thinking they have a unique take on sex work that's going to change the world and make everyone understand, but it's exhausting and relentless for us.
This will not be a sensationalist piece and I am in no way affiliated to any news based channel or journalistic route.
If I had a pound for every time I'd heard this I wouldn't have to work, and if I had a pound for every time it was a lie I'd have double the money.
I'm not saying you're lying, in fact I think you seem very nice. But at this stage I think filmmakers, students, journalists or anyone trying to make this kind of piece needs to stand aside and let sex workers speak for themselves instead of trying to make us into subjects of their theory based work.
