Sex work, whatever form it takes, is real work.
Flipping burgers is real work.
Construction is real work.
Writing code is real work.
Growing pot is real work.
Sitting in meetings all day is real work.
Professional sports is real work.
Having sex for money is real work.
Unclogging toilets is real work.
Streaming is real work (nude or clothed).
If it pays the bills and isn’t harmful then it is real work.
"working against the existence of trans people is real work! especially when your wife is a literal prostitute!" is not a winning argument, my guy.
"banning books that say things I don't like is not a winning argument, my guy"
"banning an entire religion while you hold a bible upside down after assaulting peaceful protesters isnt a winning argument my guy"
"starting an 'academy/casino/business' that fails and professing your prowess in money making isnt a winning argument my guy"
And there's the problem.
My sibling in Christ, implying that “sexuality is harmful” is one hell of a self-own.
Dude I never said anything like that. Sexuality is wonderful and a fantastic part of a relationship. Nothing wrong with it as the Song of Solomon and my marriage would attest. But we're not talking about 'sexuality' we're talking about people USING other people for their own lustful desire. Which is NOT wonderful. There is nothing good or right about a financial transaction so you can use someone else to get your rocks off - its not love, its not compassionate, its not empathetic, its just plain lustful selfishness. And therein lies the harm. You cant do that to another person and not harm them.
Something isn’t harmful simply because it doesn’t align with your own arbitrary personal morality. Do you know what is harmful? Projecting or forcing your own hypocritical biases and arbitrary personal morality onto others.
Where do you get 'hypocritical' and 'arbitrary' out of what I said? And where am I 'forcing' anyone to do anything? Im stating my views based on years of experience working with street workers and long experience on this earth.
