It start to be hot and I don’t feel like drawing as much… Summer will come soon and I hate it (＞ｍ＜)

This game’s story seems interesting but I didn’t see much of it ^^

Myths about Sex Work Debunked

Myth: the average age of entry into the sex industry is 13 years old

Fact: this statistic was made up and most studies show sex workers enter the industry in their early 20s

Myth: the sex industry is rife with trafficking

Fact: most human trafficking is in domestic labour and most sex workers are not trafficked. The myth of sex trafficking is used to force voluntary sex workers into sweat shop labour and has its roots in white supremacy

Myth: Criminalising clients makes sex workers safer

Fact: the so-called Nordic model pathologizes sex workers and forces them to take unreasonable risks to protect clients, leading to increased violence in every single place it’s introduced.

Myth: restrictions on sex work protect sex workers

Fact: the carceral state is a constant source of violence and abuse and there is no scenario in which involving the police and the legal system will improve things for sex workers. Police rape, extort, abuse and deport sex workers.

Myth: Sex workers who want decriminalisation are a privileged vocal minority. Most sex workers are poor oppressed victims with no voice.

Fact: sex workers all over the world are demanding their work be recognised as work, not just in the “west” but throughout Asia, Africa, South America, everywhere where sex work happens (which is everywhere). Sex workers are all negatively impacted by criminalization regardless of where they live or how much money they make.

Myth: Abolishing sex work is anticapitalist

Fact: this logic wouls say that we should refuse to give refugees citizenship because we’re opposed to borders. There is no way to use the carceral state against marginalised people and dress it up as anticapitalist. You’re oppressing an already vulnerable group with state violence.

Myth: sex workers need to be stopped from spreading disease (or, sex workers need to be protected from contracting disease)

Fact: sex workers have higher levels of condom use than the general population. Criminalization makes it harder for sex workers to insist on condoms, and mandating condom use allows police coerce sex workers into not using condoms then arrest them for breaking the law.

Myth: Opposing sex work is a human rights stance

Fact: every human rights organisation with any merit is in favour of decriminalisation and supporting sex workers rights such a Amnesty International, UNAIDS, the International Labour Organisation, Global Alliance Against Trafficking in Women, and Human Rights Watch.

If you’d be so kind I’d really like to counter the anti sex worker propaganda that’s become so common on Tumblr so please consider reblogging

It was really nice to draw some Witch’s Heart stuff again ^^

It’s been way too long since I draw some Sailor moon ^^

That part of the movie is one of my fave moment, Usagi was so awesome and the song “moon revenge” <3 <3

Unpopular opinion but telling TERFs to die, choke, kill themselves, etc isn’t okay. Yes, they’re bigots and spout horrible transphobic rhetoric, but they’re still human beings and it’s not good for society in general to make threatening someone with violence into a fun joke. If nothing else, it encourages people to use the same level of ferocity when attacking other groups they view as just as bad for much less harmful offenses. Some people think that genderbend art is transphobic as well and if the standard of criticizing transphobes is set at “all TERFs should be shot in the face,” then that’s the same vitriol genderbend artists will receive for also being ‘transphobes’. Social media absolutely destroys nuance and that’s why violent rhetoric should be treated so carefully. There’s no guarantee it’ll only target actually hateful people.

But even more than that, TERFs don’t deserve to be brutally murdered because nobody deserves to be brutally murdered. What they deserve is to realize that their worldview has been incredibly wrong this whole time and they’ve made a bunch of mistakes they can never fully take back, but are still obligated to try to atone for.
