Sexworkers are allowed to reclaim the language if they want to. If you know a sexworker who is alright with you saying certain words in private, then go ahead! The issue comes up when in a public setting like a forum here.
What makes you think you have the authority to speak for them, and say what words the group should be referred to as?
I am a transgender woman, however I don't feel I have the authority to speak about the community at large, only my own opinions.
However you think you have this right? How so? Are you the head of a large group? Did you give a survey? Have you been petitioned?
I'm very curious as to your answer.
