I am a sex worker advocate and performer. I became a sex worker while trying to survive in New York City and go to a super-privileged university. Though I have had some struggles with the work, I have found great empowerment in sex work. It has meant survival and it has meant that I have not had to compromise some of my core values. I also enjoy being a sex worker.
At the same time, I recognize that I have had many privileges that others have not enjoyed, even within the sex industry. I have also struggled, and I have grieved. I still grieve. Much of this struggle and grief comes from an unjust system. Therefore I am committed to social justice and challenging the oppressive forces prevalent in the American and global systems, particularly racism and classism.
I will talk about my experiences through working with certain organizations. Though I work for, or with these organizations, everything I write here is a reflection of my own thoughts and opinions, and are not meant to reflect the thoughts and opinions of the organizations I work with.
Hi Wendy,
I was in a Variations in Human Sexuality course this summer at SF State. You were a guest speaker and that is how I discovered your blog. I was wondering what your opinion is on the measure decriminalizing prostitution that will be on November’s ballot.
Thanks!
Hey… my dearest…
I miss you…
Hi Wendy,
I’m from Serbia and I just wanna tell you that I am terribly sorry for not letting you have your speach at the university.It’s the Balkans and people still think like they live 200 yrs back in the past.I used to live in the US and have seen street sex workers often.So I kinda understand your views.Are you planning some more speeches in Serbia by any chance?
Kind regards,
