“The sex worker rights movement always has to be in its own bubble. But in reality, it is all about housing, it is all about access to health care, [about] who is allowed to work and who is allowed to make money. It’s about who is allowed to file those taxes and who is allowed to be able to raise their children.” – Akynos
