It's not like OP was asking anyone to change how they think about sex workers or change how you RP it, but to just be mindful of it when discussing it OOC. Especially around other sex workers.
Or is this more of a principle of the matter thing, like "I don't feel like I should have to do this thing so I won't"?
At this point, it's a point of contention regarding "Automatic Bigotry;" namely, the concept that through the usage of a certain kind of word, regardless of context, intent, or individual relation to it, it automatically makes someone a "bad person."
