Hi there, I am currently doing some research for the Sandyford Initiative in Glasgow on the needs of women escorting and in indoor prostitution. I am hoping to identify some gaps in the services currently available and help develop a new service plan specifically tailored for this demographic. I have created a survey to help me establish what these needs might be. I have attached the survey, so I would appreciate it if anyone living or working in Glasgow could take the time to have a look. Of course the survey is confidential and answers will only be used for the purpose of this research, however if you wish to access the report once finished there is an option for you to provide your email address and I will send it to you. You do not have to answer any question that you feel uncomfortable with or that you would rather not answer. Thanks for your time! Hannah.

Dear Hannah,
You show yourself to be yet another of the steady flow of individuals having concluded that, like a pack of stray dogs or something!, 'us' hookers, what with being such a helpless, victimized, vacuous, desperate, needy lot, are a bunch likely be flattered, fucking grateful even, any time 'someone', just 'anyone', shows any vague interest in us and our private business. Since us prostitutes obviously would never be capable of representing ourselves and of course, do not already do so, we are of course always so fucking thrilled when yet another interfering, busy body, do-gooder pops up with the over inflated ego required to self appoint as some 'voice of the people', particularly enamoured with the common theme of scribing a thought fart into a post, apparently unconcerned as to a complete lack of logical syntax, any shred of actual factual content and EVIDENE BASED SUPPORT and a superior attitude that you have no obligation to prove or justify yourself or your 'cause' to the likes of us'. How dare you and you ilk, be so fucking well cheeky?
Time and time and time again, members of this, and similar forum communities are bombarded with; abuse, objectification, stereotyping, labelling, insultingly patronising attempts from endless array of individuals, groups, government bodies, charities et all to 'speak for us', misrepresentation, unrepresentation, being used for the cheap thrills and unimaginative titillation of the chattering classes, employed as weapons against our own chosen life paths/livelyhoods, I could go on. The small inconvenient issue here, Hannah, is that the aforementioned list of tools, employed to harass myself and my colleagues (intentionally and inadvertently), are statistically very rarely suffered at the hands of our clients or day to day prostitution rated affairs, rather are endured as a result of mindless sheep such as yourself. This fucking fantasy you, and the wave of self serving, self righteous, naval gazing, moral Nazis must now be resisted, and resisted it will be. Enough is enough. I, personally, can not tolerate one more ignorant, short sighted, closed minded fool, appointing themselves to the position of 'my prostitute voice' and the voice of all who've chose this line of work. I can't and do not speak for anyone else, of course, only myself, but I'm quite confident as to the level of support this around this feeling, generally. Why don't you go and create a biased, unbalanced, leading, predetermined, loaded, covert, survey about the level of services provided to post men?
What is clear is that the reality is far too mundane. For the vast majority the 'real story' is that; we get up and get on with our work on a day to day basis just like everyone else. We are of the consensual opinion that there is no fucking 'story' to be told about 'us' any more so than there is to be told about say, travel agents. That most of us would rush to open our hearts to a complete stranger when in fact many of us rarely share such detailed things with those people closest to us, within the confines of our own personal lives, is both degrading and intrusive. The real story is that most of our lives would be a lot easier if those with either self serving motivations or misplaced moral reasons refrained from the self indulgent practice of making what we do for a living a sociological study and left it alone for to be what it is, merely one within a million choices in one of many millions of peoples lives done for one of millions of varieties of reasons. No more sensational, no less so, than millions of other things done by millions of other people, millions of other times. What a joke.
