She was an amazing person who did so much for women. Any thoughts? I look forward to a lively (respectful) debate with you all

Hahahaha fail there OP

I met her a few times.

I respect her, yes. Was a bit of a shock to hear when she died, it was so sudden.

In the debates on this topic, the sex workers themselves are often dismissed and not listened to. Treated as if they don't know what's best for them.

I agree. I get sad when sex workers don’t get listening to. I think she really helped created a opportunity for these women to be heard.

gypsywater · 27/07/2020 19:14

GoldenOmber · 27/07/2020 19:16

She's......not sock puppeting! She's trying....apparently...but failing epically.
