I chatted with AM for this episode of YAS (Yes A Stripper) podcast, released today, about what it's like to be a trans sex worker and what it means to have a hooker's mentality! We touch on the broader socio-political landscape affecting sex work, including recent legislative efforts in the UK and their global implications, and chat about language and queer sex work in general.

Also available on Spotify and other podcast platforms.

a child came into the nature center and saw tadpoles for the first time and when i told him they're baby frogs he thought i was lying and i suddenly realized that if you're 3 and don't know that tadpoles become frogs it does sound pretty fake. this kid will not fall for made up shit online he is a born skeptic.

Talking about the literacy crisis among men with other men is like eating a bowl of thumbtacks. Oh, so you recognize that the problem is that men don't like to read fiction anymore because it's seen as feminine and gay, and you think the solution is for publishers to stop meeting the demand currently being driven by women (the people reading fiction the most) rather than tell your sons and nephews that reading fiction isn't, in fact, gay.

One of the things about supporting sex workers that I need more people to understand is that you can support us in fun ways that allow us to thrive, rather than only paying attention when we're pushed to desperation. Pay for your porn, go to events run by sex workers to see strippers and speakers perform, and consider all the facets of our community.

A great example of a fun way to support sex workers is through attending events like Sexquisite (across the UK) and tipping the sex workers who perform there, who are an absolute joy to watch.

I especially need people who call themselves sex worker allies to get over the idea that it's degrading to pay sex workers for their labour, including when that means throwing your tipping dollars at strippers' feet on the stage. What does it say about how you view strippers, when you see it as degrading to pay them but not to watch for free?

Paying sex workers for the entertainment they're providing you is a bar a lot of people who aren't even sex worker allies can clear. If this is the kind of entertainment that interests you, pay for it in addition to advocating for sex workers and being an ally!

(Huge shoutout to Sexquisite events for providing so many sex workers with a safe and supportive atmosphere to work in, and for putting on spectacular shows with some of the most talented performers I've seen!)
