Sekswerkers, the Dutch word for sex worker which you are using, mostly implies, if nearly not always, someone who engages into sexual activities with handicapped people in exchange for money. And that... wasn't the term I was looking for, prostitute is about the most technical, and polite term we use for these ladies and gents, whereas sex worker would be used for the one I described above! So my excuse for the confusion, will try to keep it in mind next time, but I hope you understand it from my point of view as well.(10-27-2015, 08:10 PM)Virella Wrote:(10-27-2015, 07:32 PM)PkThunda Wrote: I would like to remind people that Pr*stitue is considered a slur; please don't use it. "Full Service Sexworker" is the preferred word.I find sexworker really offensive as a word myself, yet I'm not asking people to refrain from using that word; I can go on about a rant why I find it highly offensive, but I do not think this is the place for it.
I am a sexworker.
