Ok, so for the last few months I have been battling on out with some abolitionists on a heavy hitting union website called rabble.ca. The forum is called babble.ca and is where these debates have been playing out.
So, after some times, the website moderators added a new forum topic, sex workers rights.YAY!! they made space for us!!!
It may have to be changed to sex industry forum as the abolitionists are up in arms and they now refer to sex workers as “prostituted people”. It’s crazy.
Also, it’s been playing out in the feminism and labour forums
As things have progressed some good ideas have emerged for instance- a sex industry review board. All industries are subject to regulation and so will we be.
Some bad points are people calling for mandatory STI testing for consumers and workers…you should see the stuff the say about the men….dang it.
If any of you would care to jump in and add your voices I would sure appreciate a little back up. Lee Lakeman and Trisha Baptie have shown up and are completely opposite to decrim-they are from Vancouver rape relief and are the same people who always attack me when I speak publicly.
Also, I am really only expressing my voice and wouldn’t want to presume to know or “represent” any one else’s opinions on all this. I do represent some numbers in projects and research I have coordinated but…..
