I want sex work to be normalized. I want the sex worker to be treated no differently than the butcher, baker, or candlestick maker.

Sex work is work. Normalize it if you care about saving our lives. If you don’t care about saving our lives, continue to spout nonsense about not normalizing it. Molly Smash https://twitter.com/deltaasherhill/status/1465752535004766214
“I want to control you with my morals. I won’t use gov. force, I’ll just keep your job stigmatized, assuring it won’t ever become decriminalized because of this, & allow the street abusers, traffickers, & SW murders to follow through with my hate spewing nonsense to control you”

This tweet (and responses) demonstrate why classically liberal ethics of tolerance and laissez faire are necessary prerequisite for libertarian politics to ever take hold. Intolerance leads us in the opposite direction and provides the foundation for the authoritarian state.

normalizing it means that at the very least, regardless of your view on whether it's a good career path or isn't - that you uphold its legality and the full equal rights of sex workers to consensually participate in society.
