I would say that your points are very solid, swordfish. I have personally always had an issue with the term "sex worker" to describe all the workers in the adult industry. Erotic worker or adult industry worker are much more fitting terms that could include dancers, Dommes, escorts, erotic massage, etc. When the term sex is used it confuses the public and certainly doesn't help educate.

We are (adult workers) all in this together as you aptly mention and I do champion causes that support us a group and fight those that are harmful, but I don't refer to myself as a sex worker - not because of any whoreocracy but because I believe the term confuses.
