Sex worker feminism: Anti-sex work feminists endanger the lives of sex workers and prop up the far right. To fight fascism, the left must adopt a sex worker feminist politic. (briarpatchmagazine.com)

I am pro sex work and live in a country where it is legal for all adults involved (except pimps) but I don't agree with this:

It’s simple body autonomy issues and people are only against it from years of religious based shame.

From what I have seen, the people who are against it who actually organise against it tend to be motivated by a desire to protect people from coercion and trafficking.

I don't agree with them that criminalising it would achieve that, but it's definitely their position.
