      Sex work is work.

      Do you believe that every sort of work in the world should be 100% legal? All of it?

          Well yes, that’s a different issue. It should be legalized and regulated as currently there are almost no legal protections for workers.

        That’s not how logic or reasoning works. They said sex work is work, they said literally nothing else about any other kind of work.

        Come on dude, that’s like the most boring fallacy ever.

      Regardless of the fact that there’s no way many of her students will be mature enough to handle this information without being disruptive, there’s a difference between supporting life decisions and accepting them.

      Like the difference between fatphobia and supporting healthy lifestyles, right? One is cruelty, the other is not supporting bad habits.

      Same with prostitution, it’s one thing to not oppress sex workers, it’s another to tell kids to become sex workers. Hopefully she’s not doing that but is normalizing the profession really what you want around teenagers?

      No parent wants to find out their kid started turning tricks because Ms Smith seemed cool.

      Especially when her “Ways to Spot A Dangerous John” course wasn’t approved by the principal.

        Active shooter drills? Super chill.

        Woman had sex? Mind blown and values changed forever!

        I wish you could see how you sound.

          Some people view sex as intrinsically beyond the purely transactional, and for those people it’s immoral to treat sexual intercourse as a commodity. I’m somewhat undecided, but it does seem a bit like the final frontier of neoliberalism.

            What a useless word soup. Sex can absolutely be transactional if it suits two consenting parties. Your world view being as narrow as a drinking straw isn’t a basis for how the rest of society chooses to live.

            Yeah, before neoliberalism prostitution didn’t exist, so clearly it is good to victimize prostitutes, as that’s just sticking it to neoliberals, the ones who invented prostitution.

            Do you think sex ed somehow cheapens sex? People understanding sex only makes it better for everyone in every way.

            There is nothing about sex ed that teaches anyone that sex is a commodity. My experience in public school was there was no morality involved whatsoever. It was very sterile and 100% about learning technical shit about how our bodies work. Invaluable information, I might add.

            Freaks like you who are obsessed with which genitals a child has, are incapable of separating the physiological aspects of sex from the emotional ones. Sex ed is not sexy, dude, it was awkward as fuck. If anything, it turned me off of sex.

            It’s like saying that learning about the chemical processes used to make meth in chemistry class is the same thing as smoking it.

            And I grew up in what many would consider a liberal area, especially in terms of our local public education.

              I’m an advocate of facilitated discourse and was highlighting what causes such polarisation in attitudes towards sex work/workers. Since some people view it as fundamentally immoral, that’s a very difficult bridge to cross.

              Sex education is incredibly important and I’m amazed how bad it remains in many parts of the world. I’m unsure how or where children’s genitals come into this.

        It’s always a sign that you have a great argument when you straight up make up facts.

          Seriously. This is a human being we’re talking about, who’s now lost her livelihood, and will possibly need to resort to prostitution again to make a living because of it.

            Sounds like she was escorting at the time which despite being prostitution in a trenchcoat it’s legal in Texas.

            Which is even more fucked because what she was doing was legal but still got fired.

        You’re acting like she introduced herself to her students as a former prostitute. The kids never would have known if these asshole adults didn’t dig into her past like it mattered.
