Sex Trafficking - Tumblr Posts
This is SO serious! Take care of yourselves!
WARNING!!!!
People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.
Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.

another half fleshed out 2:30am thought: i think it’s bad that we are teaching women and girls to be fearful of literally everything. it’s absolutely true that there are dangerous things and people out there and folks who are perceived as women are at higher risk for those things. but i just saw a girl make a video on tik tok freaking out because some drunk guy fell asleep in her apartment hallway near her door and has convinced herself that he’s stalking her. if that’s actually what happened, that’s awful. but what it sounds like is a guy passed out drunk in the hallway and because society has absolutely fried womens’ nerves when it comes to safety she has come to the conclusion that she’s clearly personally in danger. this isn’t healthy. this isn’t a way to live. we have to find a happy medium between acknowledging systemic misogyny and making women and people perceived as women terrified of literally just existing.
I have a medical issue that's triggering sensory flashbacks multiple times a day for the last couple of weeks and I'm SO TIRED AND OVER IT.
There were people complaining about how I'd ruin my rapists life by reporting him but I'm 32 fucking years old and cant function like a normal human. Someone complain about how they ruined MY life.
Being sex trafficked as a kid in broad fucking daylight in the United States is dystopian af, and gave me a dissociative disorder. I'm on three psych meds. Every time I go to the hospital or a new doctor, they see "PTSD" in my chart and tell me my symptoms are anxiety, and that has almost killed me THREE TIMES.
My trafficker is free. My rapists are all either free or dead. The one I took to trial got everything expunged from the records. Somehow he even got the news articles taken down.
And I'm just... Still here. Still trying to cope. Still living in fear of people who probably don't think of me at all.
criminalization of sex work, as with criminalization of drugs, allows those in power to prey on the marginalized and poor with the power of the law on their side. a big reason that decriminalization of prostitution doesn’t have a lot of support, however, is because a lot of people conflate sex work with sex trafficking. these two things are very different, and it’s stupid that two legally consenting adults exchanging money for a service can be arrested. criminalization of prostitution does not protect people from sex trafficking. it preys on voluntary sex workers and does nothing to prevent sex trafficking. it is an archaic law centred around outdated and puritanical ideas about sex and self-righteous pearl-clutching that does nothing about the real issues surrounding sex work.
“The computer-mediated communication images produced during the crime are a type of rape pornography or child pornography that is filmed and broadcast in real time and can be recorded.”
