And as a sex worker I see so many people with hypospadias and phimosis who assumed that was the norm well into their 30s - I think having a community dialog in a safe and comfortable environment is as necessary as preventative care and really should be the corner stone of biohacking lest it go off into more individualistic persuits that may bring undue risk

Does anyone remember rent boy?

It's no coincidence that when they were shut down by the state, they were close to offering a scholarship program on the tail end of their 2nd (3rd?) hookies awards ceremony

That was their free lunch program

In addition to media pressure from news of congressmen's trysts with rent boys, it was seen that they were building too large of an alternative economy to allow

This is a state war on marginal lives that dems and gops r hand in hand

Queerness is an emergent feature of human agency and automony having choices

Like the shape of a nightingale swarm

Nature's glitch art

This makes me so angry and indignant to hear that 5 performers have taken their lives in the last half year

But more than anything else the liberal ass reflex to restrict economic opportunities to women and to say people with mental health struggles aren't fit to work as performers fucking gets my red up

How many times have I seen free love empowering strongmen fuckboys

Wait.... were is this metaphor going

Having your dad arrange/sell you as property to someone he's in debt to - > gender feudalism
White picket fence, 2 kids normie relationship - > gender constitutional monarchy
Free love - > Gender socialism
Free love, the means of transition and reproductive healthcare have been seized - > gender anarchy

Imma mark loan words I bring in with accent marks

Púma e motá (~pr ɸuːma ɛ mot͡ʃa) smoke weed
Kopí (koɸi:) coffee

Kama suno ola pona la poka kopí ola

Tenpo pona kin awen mi nasin púma e motá

Awen mi nasa oke toki e sama jan, taso toki toki mi weka ale kukupu

Anpa lon lupe nasa kin

So funny story, I almost lost a finger in boy scouts

This witch is rlly klutzy with lumber

9 fingered deathtrap

But what is the issue reduced to

'overly sensitive people harassed her into harsh actions'

This is not by accident

And it fucking sickens me people will use this as ammunition against trans women

When it's only ripples of internet culture and what it does to femininity

The world is messy af and always way more complicated than the typed word ever could manage

But, I do think Ames' reservations of 'cross over' performers valid, in that the testing protocol in place allows pos undetected ppl to slip through the cracks

Does the industry have a healthy dialog about that? Nope. Did she express bigoted views, yeah, I would wager to pander to that 4chan/reddit audience

At the same time was she bullied by cis women in the industry? Yes

All of these companies that have done nothing about these various online communities of harassment, and fully encourage their development in this era of social media are complicit in these deaths. Most now are making efforts to trickle down money for mental health providers but that's a fuckin half measure

It's just a way to put more blame on the individual and not the community, which is at fault

Ppl from poor backgrounds are getting muscled out of the industry

I've gone to work on one lung before back when I worked physical labor, because I needed the work. With sex work I've gone to work with half a mind before because I was off hormones and going hungry, but I needed the work

It isn't the work or employments fault for harm
It's the system goddammit
