We want our clients to be in solidarity with us. If sex workers don't seize our own labour, you can't sieze our fleshy bits. Revolt, decrim and smash the binary capitalist patriachy today. Be a proud client of an awesome sex worker! Inspo from Scarlet Tas, thanks babes.

Califia's work pushed back against the growing institutional demand that women could only be politically acceptable - only worthy of feminist solidarity - if they were framed primarily through victimhood. www.swopbehindbars.org/post/the-les...

Califia understood early that marginalized communities would inevitably bear the highest costs of moral regulation. Queer people. Leather communities. Trans people. Sex workers. Poor women. Criminalized women. Anyone living outside the boundaries of middle-class respectability.

Pat Califia remains deliberately overlooked, in both feminist and LGBTQ history. Califia's work was foundational. It was, for large portions of the institutional feminist world, deeply unwelcome - and that combination of foundational and unwelcome is precisely why the erasure has been so persistent.

WA SW Laws are a barrier to safety and decrim is the only answer. Currently in WA we are permitted to work alone from a residence, alone from a hotel/motel, or alone from a client’s home. We can work in the broth, tho the broth itself is not legal.

YES IN WA = Working alone from a residence, hotel/motel, or client’s home
Work in a brothel (although the brothel itself is not legal)

NO IN WA = Working in groups of two or more
Owning, operating or managing a brothel
Hiring your own staff (e.g. security, driver)
Street-based sex work

Connection looks different for everyone, and that's OK... Connection can include all kinds of relationships. Intimate relationships are often about touch, and as long as it's legal and consensual, you can dream of and seek out whatever kinds of connection and intimacy is your jam.

Choice and control aren't just buzzwords or jargon, they are words to live by, for people with disability. Historically their choices have been made for them, and it's essential that disabled people make informed decisions holistically, without shying away from the ones that make people blush.

It is not unusual for SWers to be treated badly by the law. But is it really necessary? When most other states and territories have reformed their approach, surely WA can do so too. The forced cavity inspections, police powers to compel sex workers to hand over information...

Did you know ...there are laws in Western Australia that grant sex workers less rights than people working in other occupations?

The Prostitution Act 2000 s 25-29 allows police to force sex workers to undergo cavity inspections.
‘PROSTITUTE’ IS THE WORD USED IN THE ACT, BUT IT’S A SLUR. THE CORRECT TERM IS SEX WORKER.

The Prostitution Act 2000 s 23
