Trans Men and Imprisonment

I don’t want anyone in prison, including trans people. While prisons do exist, I don’t want us to treat the rape that occurs within them as if it’s a fucking inevitability; I want to eradicate it.

“Jesus Loved Prostitutes”!

We do not need some sort of Christ-like “hate the sin, love the sinner” attitude, we need the decriminalization of our work and the abolition of poverty.

Is Selling Sex “Skilled Labour”?

Sex work doesn’t have to be skilled for sex workers to deserve rights.

Transmascs Rentboys and Why We Hate Ourselves

There are a lot of sex workers who are trans men or non-binary people.
