Sex work should be subject to protections under the law, including the law, the courts and the healthcare system - rather than subject to persecution, ostracization and having to fend for themselves outside of the law. They'd rather want sex motels decked with panic buttons and security on guard.
Think before you assume you're actually concerned for someone's well being, and if you think continued illegality will somehow eradicate sex work - let me remind you that it hasn't worked thus far. Please reconsider your stance.
No, it was a side argument regarding mental health. Fixing mental health is an everybody issue, especially when people are products of their environment. Having a healthy sex life is part and parcel of improving mental health, on top of exercise, a good diet and actually handling or leaving toxic environments.
You're not able to see my main point because you want people to suffer, because you think they deserve to suffer, because you want to feel superior and calling me an asshole indirectly at the same time because you're too much of a pussy to tell me directly.
So the only asshole I see here is you.

Seek therapy instead of trying to get it out of Lemmy comments.
