My information on the topic comes from actual sex workers or women who know them (eg aminadujean, Naomi Wu) whose experience is that anti-trafficing is usually used to try to criminalize their work for their own protection.


> anti-trafficing [sic] is usually used to try to criminalize their work

I understand you have anecdotes from 2 women which describe non-coerced criminalized sex work, which is not sex trafficking.

My information comes from decades of global, publicly available and verified data. Sex trafficking is a real thing, and you delegitimize its victims when you say otherwise.

(you really don't have to put the emphasis on how much you dislike their spelling of trafficking, everyone can see it's a direct quote and it distracts from the rest of your post)


The spelling's wrong, not disliked. To your point--it's poor form to mark the same mistake twice.
