I knew what SWERFs were, like, conceptually, but nothing could have prepared me for witnessing how they operate.
There's a trans male sex worker on here who does a lot to try and educate about sex work and the struggles he and his friends in SW face, and has also talked about his traumatic experiences, as well as his experience giving birth to a child.
These people trawled through his blog like it was entertainment in order to bring up every traumatic event and pregnancy complication he ever mentioned as an argument for why nobody should listen to him when he advocates for himself and for what would make his life easier and safer.
They're SOOOOO worried about women being taken advantage of and exploited by the sex industry. That's why you should never ever ever listen to any sex workers tell you what would make them feel safer unless they agree with whatever criminalization scheme you think is best.
I saw them use the excuse of "this is just what your CLIENTS think of you because THEY'RE disgusting perverted men" as a thinly veiled excuse to call a sex worker - whose safety and well-being they are sooooooo worried about - a whore and a hole.
"Oh you think you'd be safer if we decriminalized sex work? You poor thing. You poor poor broken filthy slutty whore woman. You're just a fucking hole. You're just a fuckhole. You don't know what's good for you. Shut up while the adults are talking about what to do with you you fucking idiot slut."
