Sex work is never empowering. It's degrading and it destroys your soul.

Are you a human in the year 2023? What else is new?

Have you ever broken your back working the overnight shift hauling boxes for 10 hours at Amazon only to be told you can’t use the bathroom on your shift and be paid just enough to afford your shitty apartment you spend your one day off in sleeping and the car you only have time to drive back to work in?

Something is empowering if the person doing it finds it empowering. They have decided the stigma in your mind cannot hurt them, and if it does, it is the fault of your judgement. It is empowering to decide you do not care what society thinks and you are going to do what you want and what is best for you. That is the same thing they that can be said about Katlyn Jenner, and who is more empowered than her?
