We must treat sex workers as any human being, because that's one of the first things that needs to die- the perception that we deserve all this harm and all this violence just because we are sex workers or because we choose it.
Imagine living in a world where your very existence is criminalized, and your safety is constantly at risk. This episode of 'A Stripper's Guide' takes a deep dive into the grim reality of femicide and its impact on sex workers. Hosts Erica Sosa, Ataraxxxia, and Leilah Feinstein don't shy away from tough conversations, tackling the metaphorical and literal aspects of death within the context of sex work.
They explore the tarot card Death, symbolizing transformation, and discuss what societal changes are necessary for sex workers, femmes, women, and queer folks to live safely and freely. The hosts bring attention to the dangers posed by criminalization and negligence, stressing the urgent need for inclusive sex education that recognizes sex work as legitimate labor. They also highlight the role of language in perpetuating misogyny and violence against femmes.
Throughout the episode, there's a strong emphasis on treating sex workers with the dignity and humanity they deserve. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own perceptions and biases, and to consider how they can support justice movements advocating for sex worker rights. Ending on a proactive note, the hosts invite feedback and discuss their ongoing efforts to create episodes in Spanish, broadening their reach and inclusivity.
Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that challenges societal norms and advocates for real change.
