“ We hold that no action which does not infringe the rights of others can properly be termed a crime. We favor the repeal of all laws creating “crimes without victims” now incorporated in Federal, state and local laws —such as laws on voluntary sexual relations
“ 2.10 Sex Work The Libertarian Party supports the decriminalization of prostitution. We assert the right of consenting adults to provide sexual services to clients for compensation, and the right of clients to purchase sexual services from consenting sex workers.

Legalization, decriminalization

Destigmatization, normalization
“ 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.

“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.
