whore with a heart of gold, queer femme.
SEX WORKER ACTIVISTS...
Challenge the notion that there is something more harmful or dangerous about consensual sex than pulling a muscle
Question why street-based sex workers are more of a nuisance for local residents than that busker doing off-key Led Zeppelin covers
Wonder why people working for multi-national corporations that bulldoze old growth forests or exploit developing world labour think we should get a real job
Ask why people who pay us for sex are exploiting us more than those who expect it for free
Think that if being rescued and rehabilitated involves working long hours, earning a pittance, doing uninspiring menial labour – we’ll stay in the gutter, thank you.
WON'T
HAVE
OUR
RIGHTS
ERODED


I'm just your average anarcho-socialist, pagan, sex radical, queer, genderphile, whore with interests in art, performance, politics, animals, costumes and things that make me laugh.
I won't be blogging here, as I already have a blog:
http://herroyalwhoreness.blogspot.com/
however, sorry, not really many juicy details, more activism, theory and mental health stuff than blow-by-blow blogging....

Nose bleed heels - particularly stilettos.

It sounds like I'm such a well rounded individual; with so much going on, but some days, all I really care about is LOLCats....

I'd like to meet:

Queers, whores, activists, pirates, clowns, cats, nuns, etc.

If you are a straight non-trans guy (excepting Vince Noir) - please don't bother messaging me or sending friends requests (unless they come with large amounts of money, of course), I really am a dyke, honest.

I try to focus on the positives as much as possible, but I hate, hate, hate how almost every movie, TV, music and literature representation of sex workers must drag out the tired ‘pathetic victim’ or ‘mercenary bitch’ clichés and I am really driven to murderous rage by the fact that the whore character must be killed off by the final scene…. All to reinforce the idea that a life of whoredom leads to a sticky end and therefore must be avoided if you know what’s good for you.....
