Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers' Rights by Molly Smith, Juno Mac

5.0

If I could recommend a single source on this topic, it would be this one. I hate the cover because it looks too cartoonish and happy. "We're not asking you to love the sex trade. We certainly don't." (I am not sure if that's the exact wording. This book manages to speak to everyone of any opinion on sex workers from anti sex work carceral "feminists" to ex sex workers who want abolition of the trade to anti trafficking groups to johns and managers to governments and cops to girlboss sex workers and so on. They combine it all together and make an undeniable case for decriminalization, regardless of your opinion on the industry itself or those who work in it. Except for people who don't actually care about sex workers or see them as human.
