1) why do you think that people have a difficult time accepting that sex work is legitimate labor?

2) what does sex worker agency look like (i. e. how are sex workers able to create working conditions that better honor them as people)?

3) the tendency to "over correct" more conservative attitudes toward sex work by making it seem like there are absolutely no issues whatsoever with it. why is this problematic in another way?

4) in april 2018, trump signed fosta-sesta into law. the bill is commonly known as the "stop enabling sex traffickers act," and it seeks to shut down any venue (including websites) that might be considered enabling trafficking efforts. while there was bipartisan political support for the bill, many people involved in sex work critique the ways it backfires on sex workers. how does it do this, and why were sex workers not consulted on this bill?

5) why do people have a tendency to collapse sex trafficking with sex work, and what is problematic about that?

6) what do you think we can do as a culture to increase the safety of sex workers?

you very much.
