Another good one from Parker! Predators are where the prey is. People harmful to minors are not on adult sites watching verified adult creators playing into consensual fantasies. They are where the kids are. By the school. At home. In roblox, skibiditoilet comments and 'Safe for kids" places.

An article on the recent campaign surrounding a petition created by a group of schoolgirls in the UK, seeking to ban school uniforms in porn. jackviolet.com/2026/10/01/s...

Sex Workers in School Uniform
Schoolgirls aren’t targeted in their uniforms because men are used to seeing these outfits on adults in porn and therefore think it’s okay to sexually harass them. They sexually harass …

Before Craigslist, there were still lots of indoor workers (outnumbering street workers) and they often found clients through print. Ads in magazines, papers, and business cards in phone booths being some of the most stereotypical. These things have been restricted now, so we can't go back to them.

A lot of people doing online sex work are doing it because we need a flexible schedule and/or cannot get or maintain other kinds of employment, the options left if that disappears tend to be riskier in-person sex work. I went from camming to brothels in part because camming was so restrictive.

Online sex work doesn't "pull" sex workers from the street, it stops us ending up there. People generally sell sex on the street as a last resort. When you restrict online content so people can no longer make a living from it, our bills don't disappear, so we move to something else.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

God you fucking asshole, you were supposed to live until my daughter is an adult so I could prove I wasn't holding you to an unreasonably high standard. I told you I would. You were supposed to live and argue and improve. Now you're dead and I feel guilty that my body is forcing me to grieve you.

Now he'll never get a chance to be better. The last thing I said to him was that I could never forgive him for being abusive to his kids as long as he kept joking about the after-effects of that abuse, and not making any amends or even acknowledging to the kids it was wrong to hit them.

He'd get a kick out of how devastated I am. He'd be a bigot, he'd bait me, and he'd also seek approval when he did something good or kind or made an improvement. I told him I hated him and he laughed and said I liked him deep down despite my hatred of his ideas. I guess he wins. I care.

Jack Parker @mxjackparker.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I'm having weird grief. Someone I knew well for 7 years, who I constantly argued with and openly disliked, recently killed himself. He was abusive to his kids and I spent years talking him out of hitting them. He was often bigoted. And I've been crying since I read about his suicide in the news.

Law firms only seen to take cases on for free when they're at the most extreme (death of a baby, permanently disabling injury) so there's not really any other recourse than speaking about it.

Nothing much materially. They said they were giving training as a result, but the dates stated of many of these trainings were from months before I went into labour. I got an apology from the hospital but not from any individuals who harmed me, and they don't seem to have faced consequences.

Thank you! I wanted to write and share this article sooner for others, but the ending would've been so bleak if I hadn't waited. Baby is doing amazing, I'm constantly impressed by her, and I actually feel like myself again even if some days the PTSD is hard. I appreciate my community so much.

What I do think many of us are searching for is a way to describe what it's like to live in a transsexual body and we're too poisoned by medicalised language and slurs and awful anti non binary discourse that we can't find our way to it and hate people who pick different words.

Jack Parker @mxjackparker.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
I describe all non-binary people as trans, though not push people on using the label individually, because that's what it means to not exclusively be the gender you were assigned at birth.

Jack Parker @mxjackparker.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
None of us are more or less valid in our genders, which is an expression I don't care much for anyway (who cares if people think someone is valid, it's what you are, let's talk about how it impacts our lives).

Jack Parker @mxjackparker.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
Frankly I think my experiences are much more similar to transitioning trans men who are not also non binary than to non binary people of any gender combo who do not medically transition.
140
Jack Parker @mxjackparker.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
If I'm talking about discrimination I face as a non binary person, I do feel like I have to clarify that I'm transexual too. There are so many times that my medical transition or need to medically transition has hugely impacted my life.

Jack Parker @mxjackparker.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
The phenomenon of non-binary people who don't consider themselves trans is linked to others using cissexual to describe non-binary people who don't medically transition. One isn't more transmedicalist of a framing than the other, it's just one includes the speaker being direct.

If this interests you, please share it! The project can only get funded if enough people consider it worth backing, and I'd really love to get sex workers paid. Anything about sex work online gets censored so your sharing means a lot.

Things I'm now doing post-partum after initial recovery: -Losing fat and building muscle to speed up fat redistribution to look more masc (on a glp-1 to be transparent). - Using minoxidil to help with facial hair. - Higher dose to T to stay upper end of male range.

I couldn't find many direct comparisons of trans guys bodies before, during and after pregnancy like this when I was trying, so here. First picture is 3 years on T. Second picture is at 41 weeks pregnant. Third picture is at 8.5 months post-partum, 7.5 months back on T.
First picture is of a white brown-haired shirtless trans man wearing jeans, sitting on a stool with his legs spread. He has top surgery scars and tattoos. Second picture is of him at 41 weeks pregnant, shirtless with a large belly. Third picture is at 8.5 months post-partum, with a mosaic censored baby resting on his hip, showing him shirtless in shorts.

The way I cope with processing trauma is through humour, but stopping in the middle of a story to go, "Oh, yeah, I definitely got molested. That's a textbook 'I was molested as a kid' thing to say," disturbs a lot of people. For understandable reason! Much to consider.

I've heard people call it a second traumatization to be called to prove you were raped and subject to disbelief/questioning, but something I see acknowledged less is the way that trauma gets dug up and makes you sick every time you see other survivors being called liars.
