To summarize this guidance in the simplest terms, it treats a trans or intersex person not disclosing their gender identity and/or the sex they were assigned at birth as a form of deception which negates consent.

Tired of reading leftist theory that degrades sex workers, misunderstands the nature of our work, or ignores us altogether? Or maybe you’d like to hear what sex workers’ experiences reveal about capitalism and gender and policing?
