Dr Sex Work Expert My Ass

I am not a politician.
I have never been a politician.
If I wrote about political stuff, no one would read it.

I am not a doctor.
I have never been a doctor.
If I wrote about doctor things, no one would read it, nor would they take anything I said seriously.

They would laugh it off as a joke!

A sex worker doesn’t know about the medical profession.. Nor does a sex worker know about politics..

So say if you were going to read an article about sex workers, for you to read it and find it believable and trust the information given.. You would think that only a sex worker could provide this right?

Just like only a doctor could write a piece of med stuff and only politicians can really tell the truth and give you an accurate account of how things work etc right?

WRONG

Sex workers voices are not heard!
We see many articles around the world written by academics, doctors etc regarding sex work.. And as a sex worker, MOST of these pieces are so far from truthful to what my industry is, its ridiculous!

When did the people that live love and breath the sex industry stop being the best experts to come to for information on the sex industry?

When I read about a topic I like.. Lets say  - the pacific islands! I don’t want to hear a story from a white guy from USA. I wana hear the story from a pacific islander. I don’t care if the pacific islander has had no education and writes/speaks in broken English, it’s the REAL story. Its coming straight from the “horses” mouth. I know if I read the white usa guys version, I will have doubts, be left wondering what is actual fact and what is HIS opinion.

So today, there was this bullshit article on a well known news site.. Man it pissed me off so hard…  It was an article about sex workers….the woman who wrote it is Dr Caroline Norma, a lecturer in the school of Global Studies, Social Science & Planning at a University.

Do you see “sex worker”  in her title?
Nope, neither did I.
Yet she is allowed and paid to post articles like this online all over the world for everyone to see.. And people read this dribble and from HER OPINION think that what she says is  actually true.. WTF?

When will there be a sex worker expert publishing these kinds of stories? Don’t people want to know about the truth and not just what some Dr or crap thinks on these industries?

When will sex workers voices be important enough for people to actually fucking listen?

It makes me so mad!

There are so many smart intelligent sex workers out and about that would only be TOO HAPPY to share their stories and experiences with the general population!

When will people want to hear???
