We also want to say a few words about stigma of sex work in queer spaces and how we can be more aware.
To combat stigma against sex workers, it helps to start looking within, and how we relate to sex workers that are face out, particularly performing for us at an event. Oftentimes sex working performance artists are faced with well meaning comments like ‘I also want to perform like this, away from the male gaze’ Queer spaces are not exempt from this.
Apart from ignoring the background of activism and destigmatization behind the performance, the subtext implies that performing for the so-called ‘male gaze’ is degrading. Most sex workers have a majority cis male clientele, and stigmatizing the client leads to conclusions that bring us dangerous laws like the Nordic model.
Implying that the ‘male gaze’ is so undesirable, eventually implies those that make their living around it are too. Thinking that stripping is the same as an empowering sensual dance at a party, and not wanting to see the nuance around the profession, is a disconnect from the sex working community, who are neither victims nor deities. All of this can be fixed by simply approaching us with respect, curiosity and willingness to learn💗
