Oh my! Look who decided to slide into my DMs 🤭

I get it, they're frustrated and upset but most importantly, they're either misinformed or uninformed completely

So here are a few links I hope help people start to unlearn those beliefs that are harmful to sex workers

A short read, this article goes over a lot of the basic understandings we need to start unlearning: including "why use the term 'sex worker' rather than 'prostitute" and "what is human trafficking, and how is sex work different?"

More a visual learner? I gotchu! This article, 'Sex Work 101' builds on those basics with infographics and touches more on how sex work is diverse and how violence and stigma around sex work tends to target historically marginalized groups.

Finally, here's a short (7min) video from the CBC about decriminalization of sex work, what that might look like, where we've seen it already implemented, how it saves lives, and makes sex work safer and healthier for sex workers and clients alike

This is by no means an exhaustive list of resources, but a starting point to help us unlearn these harmful biases and ignorance.

Ignorance breeds hate, and hate? Hate has you sliding into DMs to wish pain and death on a stranger.

I think we can do better ♥️
