“teehee the trads are just into d/s 🤭” i mean i hate how violent misogyny is a joke to you but i do appreciate your accidental acknowledgment that certain kinks are largely rooted in the same misogynistic ideals as heteropatriarchy at it’s most extreme. not that i would ever expect you to reflect on that.

There’s a very real childhood sexual abuse → sex work pipeline.

Not every survivor ends up in prostitution, and not every sex worker has a trauma history. But CSA survivors are massively overrepresented in the industry, especially in street-level prostitution and trafficking.

Why the link exists:

Broken boundaries. CSA can normalize exploitation, making it harder to recognize or resist later coercion.

Poverty + homelessness. Survivors often run away or get pushed out, leading to “survival sex.”

Disrupted education/work. Trauma impacts mental health, school, and jobs, narrowing options.

Targeted grooming. Pimps and traffickers deliberately recruit kids with abuse histories.

Coping/repetition. Some dissociate (“if I choose it, I’m in control”), others unconsciously reenact trauma.

What research shows:

65–95% of women in street prostitution reported CSA.

In one Canadian study, 75% of sex-traded women had CSA histories.

Among trafficked minors, prior sexual abuse is one of the strongest predictors of exploitation.

The takeaway: The pipeline doesn’t erase agency, but ignoring it hides why so many people are in the sex trade. For a huge portion, it’s not empowerment — it’s survival after trauma.

i’m curious what arbitrary and specific flavors people dislike are. rb and tag a Taste you simply don’t fuck with. for flavor reasons not texture reasons. for me? i do not like elderflower or caraway for whatever reason

i feel like high school/middle school sitcoms set the unrealistic expectation of being able to have lunch time outside

girl the tendency of coomers on the internet to conflate LGBT topics with porn and paraphilas makes my blood BOIL. they're literally just accepting conservative propaganda as reality and further entrenching it within leftist circles. they're not wrong about how conservatives will weaponize associations between LGBT people and "sexual degeneracy" to harm LGBT people, but conservatives are/will be able to do that in no small part because people who self-identify as representatives of the LGBT community keep fucking saying shit that completely plays into conservative viewpoints! all because a bunch of sexually maladjusted dudes can't conceive of orgasming without a computer screen, and decided to glom onto a movement that was gaining social acceptance (accceptance which has been declining recently - wonder why????) because they could never defend their horrible proclivities on their own terms. it genuinely makes me rage

You said it perfectly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The fact that no one in so called progressive leftist spaces wants to hear this genuinely drives me crazy. porn propaganda has been so successful they seriously conflate LGB rights with literally the most abusive and disgraceful industry to exist and don’t see any problem with that. “conservatives could use censorship measures to be homophobic” okay yeah true sooooo you’re just never going to try and combat the trafficking of women and children? you’re just going to let men play rape and incest simulator games? That’s… protecting the LGB from conservatives is it?? righttttt

Truth is both sides are full of coomers and neither side cares about women. and ultimately both sides see being LGB as being inherently perverted and unnatural too

get to know me meme >> Favorite Friendships [39/?] Anne Shirley & Diana Barry (Anne With an E)

A bosom friend--an intimate friend, you know--a really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my innermost soul. I've dreamed of meeting her all my life. I never really supposed I would, but so many of my loveliest dreams have come true all at once that perhaps this one will, too. Do you think it's possible?
