the only differentiation to me that exists is what i said above about imminent physical violence or being bodily restrained and enslaved.

everyone has to do work they don't want to do to avoid abject conditions, like homelessness, prison, etc.

if we're starting from the premise that sex work is work, then we can't create a divide between the walmart cashier and the prostitute who works corners or backpages in dangerous situations. the latter's job is only more dangerous typically because of the criminality/morality bullshit society thrusts upon their activities.

i don't see any difference between a sex worker who works for themselves and isn't trafficked/enslaved and a freelance massage therapist, nor should anyone else imo
