What do you know about sex work?
Sex work is as ancient as civilization itself.
But sex work doesn’t often get spoken about because it’s taboo and illegal…
So why are we talking about this here?
I never thought much about sex work…
But I’ve connected with all kinds of brilliant queer humans doing
amazing things in the world, and one of those brilliant humans is
Elliott Endre…
Elliott is a therapist, coach, writer and public speaker, who teaches psychopathology San
Francisco State University. And the interesting thing about Elliott’s
therapy practice is that it has been devoted to women and non-binary
folk in the sex industries.
Why sex work matters…
When we talk about issues like abortion or LGBT rights, the
underlying question revolves around how much agency and autonomy we, as
humans, get to have over our bodies.
And what most of us don’t realize is that sex workers stand at the
front lines of this issue, perhaps more than any other group of people.
Sex work is criminalized, which means we send people to jail simply for the way they choose to use their bodies.
The decriminalization of sex work should matter to feminists and
queers because of how much we value the right to have agency and
autonomy over our bodies.
Don’t miss this conversation…
In this episode of Women Wanting Women I interview Elliott Endre,
who teaches all about sex work today and throughout history and from the
perspective of the sex workers themselves.
