Hello @NickKristof, remember when you interviewed me for your @nytimes piece last year? Your bad faith reporting is now directly responsible for me losing my main source of income. You and @LailaMickelwait are really doing God’s work putting millions of sex workers in harm’s way.
Remember how, in our 20 minute phone call, I shared with you that I’ve been a victim of abuse in the past and I find empowerment in what I do now? I suppose maybe you don’t, since you believe the only victims worth protecting are the ones who’ve never done consensual sex work.
You must think that without any way to earn money as a sex worker, I’ll just get a “real” job. But people like you, @NickKristof, who degrade and stigmatize my livelihood, make that nearly impossible. In fact you do more to *enable* trafficking than to prevent it.
You actively cause harm to sex workers like me. And I just want you to know that I will think of you and the phone conversation we had last August every time I feel hopeless and like giving up on this world that continues to make sex workers’ lives harder every day. Fuck you.
