I have been having this conversation for far too long now. I am a "Sex Worker" and I align with all people under this umbrella. Sex worker does not mean prostitute, necessarily. I am taking this from how I am perceived from the civilian world. They don't really know the difference between an escort, exotic dancer, cam girl, clip girl, tantric masseur, nor domme outside of different flavours of something that deviates from a "normal" mainstream job. Legally we are all in danger of the same things. Seeking to divide ourselves in a "whorearchy" does nothing but divide us.

Also, I am not a fan of separating dommes from other sex workers because we ALL have different boundaries. Then we all become victims of nitpicking "What makes a real domme." The splitting of hairs gets out of control and does nothing to serve us.

Fighting for legalisation of all sex work and safety of all sex workers is in all of our interests. It has gotten better over the years, but there are still some hangers on.
