Autism is my super blessing! I'm a high-school valedictorian, college graduate, world traveler, disability advocate. I'm a Unitarian Universalist. I'm a Progressive Liberal. I'm about equal rights, human rights, civil & political rights, & economic, social, &cultural rights. I do servant leadership, boundless optimism, & Oneness/Wholeness. I'm good naked & unashamed!

episode 75: My conviction is that sex worker's rights are entitled to equal rights, sex workers' rights are human rights (my other conviction)
"There are many well-known and documented factors that coalesce causing HIV/AIDS to persist. These factors we as a society created.
"I've only walked out on a couple of bookings," Karma said. "One, because the client repeatedly tried to kiss me on the mouth despite not paying the additional fee. Another because he was just really rude and disrespectful. I realize I'm very lucky to have not had to deal with a forceful client, because many other girls have had bad experiences with this. I have never felt in danger at work. The establishment offers security. There are cameras everywhere but inside the rooms, a security guard on duty and an intercom in every room. I've have not contracted an STI since I started working in this industry."
Mayo Schreiber is an expert in criminal law and the Deputy Director of CHLP. According to him, "there are many well-known and documented factors that coalesce causing HIV/AIDS to persist." They're not outside of us, or somehow foreign to the way we live. "These factors we as a society created and sanctify," Shreiber said. "They are the result of national and local political decisions for which we are responsible: HIV criminal laws that stigmatize and harshly punish people who take the responsibility to get tested or sex workers who carry condoms, a lack of syringe exchange programs, a lack of sexual health programs or condoms in prisons and jails, the failure to provide affordable health insurance and housing for all our citizens, the failure to provide comprehensive sexual health literacy programs (particularly for young people), parental refusal to accept adolescents' sexual orientation or gender identity that force them onto the streets, etc.
"These factors have the greatest impact on those in our nation with the least amount of political and economic capital—the young, the impoverished, people of color, men who have sex with men, transgender people, persons who overuse drugs, sex workers, prisoners. It is primarily they who bear the brunt of the political decisions allowing HIV/AIDS to exist. But it is everyone in this country that pays the price."
P.S. I think clients, pimps, managers should be screened without issue in all parts of the adult sex industry.
