From intimate partner violence to mass murder, sex workers aren't the only people who suffer the consequences of anti-sex worker bias.
What connects violence against sex workers to broader violence against femmes and women? This episode of 'A Stripper's Guide' tackles this pressing issue head-on. Hosts Leilah Feinstein and Erica Sosa dive deep into the tragic events of March 16, 2021, when a man targeted massage parlors and murdered eight people, most of whom were Asian women. They explore how anti-sex worker bias doesn't just harm sex workers but extends its reach to femmes and women everywhere.
Through personal stories and expert insights from guests like Dr. Connie Wun and Dr. Rhea Ashley Hoskin, the episode sheds light on the systemic oppressions that fuel such violence. They also discuss the critical role of organizations like Red Canary Song and Decriminalize Sex Work in advocating for the safety and rights of sex workers.
With a blend of raw storytelling and compassionate analysis, this episode calls for a deeper understanding of these interconnected issues and emphasizes the urgent need for decriminalization and broader societal change.
