Becoming a parent is difficult for everyone, but especially when you're a sex worker with no access to parental leave pay who needs time to recover before selling more sex while post-partum. If you have funds to spare and want to help me take 8 weeks off after I give birth: gofund.me/7369fa55a

Finally reading Working Guys and what a hard but rewarding read it is. I highly recommend it! Thanks to @mxjackparker.bsky.social and all the authors for this gem of an anthology.

WE DID IT! We raised over $16,000 today for sex worker mutual aid! Many many more thanks and thoughts to come - but for now I’m exhausted, I’m elated, and I’m so grateful for everybody who showed up for @corntelethon.bsky.social today whether virtually, in studio, or via donation. 😌🥰🫶😹

PAID WRITING OPPORTUNITY for trans and/or intersex sex workers! Looking for pitches of essays and personal narratives about your experience in sex work to be included in Transactional Intercourse, a trans and intersex sex worker anthology. Send in your pitches here: forms.gle/UV8TLD8xKGxZ...

Check out our last episode from Season 1 of 2025 with Jack Parker. #MxJackParker #HookerMentality #YASPodcast @mxjackparker.bsky.social yaspodcast.com/hooker-menta...

Trans and Intersex Non-Disclosure vs. The “Trap” Stereotype "Insisting that trans and/or intersex sex workers owe information about our identities to clients will never be convincing when those sorts of concerns naturally have to be secondary to staying fed and affording shelter."

Results are in! Get a breakdown of the “What Are Your Thoughts About Sex Work” survey, followed by resources created based on the common questions and misconceptions brought up. There are various articles and infographics included!

This might be my next read! I am part way through Working Guys and I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far!

The anthology Transactonal Intercourse will include essays and personal narratives from at least 30 trans and/or intersex sex workers, who are often overlooked. Take a look at what will be included in the book and sign up to be notified when it launches: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mxj...

My landlord and her partner let themselves into our house with no notice today to threaten me and my housemate and try to intimidate us after we told them we needed a couple of extra days to move out because of a delay with our tenancy on our new place.

This survey is for people who have not done sex work themselves, to gauge both your opinions on sex work and how much you know about it! Information collected will be used to inform the themes of published work about sex work, as well as educational materials. forms.gle/rxPbBdEWC7wj...

Nueva lectura sobre trabajo sexual. Me ha costado un poco conseguirlo pero ya está aquí. Gracias @mxjackparker.bsky.social

🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space". In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender. (Source: @TheTimes)

There are a number of jobs out there with the explicit aim of helping sex workers to find stable employment outside of selling sex. Sometimes they fail in this goal and actually compound our existing struggles, ultimately exploiting us for their own gain. jackviolet.com/2025/08/08/h...

This is legitimately insane. It's not an exaggeration to say this is actually a full on bathroom ban for trans people because they're banned from using spaces of their sex assigned at birth too!

Worth noting: these results were never going to be representative of the general public and don't aim to be - they're biased by who follows me on socials and who shares the survey. That being said, I'm still pleasantly surprised by many of the results. 2,164 responses so far!

Sex workers, please note: you do NOT have to answer Garda questions about your landlord. We have received legal advice about this. Knowledge is power and it is our role to ensure that sex workers in Ireland know their rights.

I always find it a bit weird when people forget this tbh. I'm not transitioning because I want to break the patriarchy or challenge gender norms (though I do support both those things). I'm transitioning because I want to continue living.

GREAT follow up question on tumblr about me saying 'i am not doing a bit and my work is not some big joke'. someone asked is it okay to laugh at tinglers since they are not a joke which is very kind and thoughtful, but yes you certainly can. FULL ANWSER HERE www.tumblr.com/drchucktingl...

1500 responses to this survey so far and honestly the thing that has shocked me the most is the small demographic of people that know who Buck Angel is but do NOT know who Marsha P. Johnson is. ... How is that possible? What nightmare version of the world do you live in? How do I save you from it?

I deleted a post yesterday because a few folks were concerned about "Reform is less transphobic than Labour" being press narrativization, and I did not want to make a definitive statement based on noncommittal waffling. Today, Labour is calling Reform "Woke" pejoratively.

Transactional Intercourse: A Trans and Intersex Sex Worker Survey! This survey is for people who are trans and/or intersex and have either sold sex or made porn. Current and former sex workers are equally welcome! Click here to fill it out, and please share: forms.gle/Lcvswp3kZcor...

For any artists dealing with adult content bans, I want to encourage you to get involved in the sex worker rights movement. While illustration is not the same as sex work, we share many of the same struggles, and our fights will be stronger if we collaborate.

This is a pathetic statement and I’m begging every journalist to rip it to shreds

Things are getting nuts

I'm *so* glad to see that the community is committed to resurrecting the bookshop in a new form — in the form it should've taken in the first place. As someone who really advocated for The Scarlett Letters (and put her money where her mouth was), the fallout from the strike gutted me. Support this.

The People's Letters is a radical co-operative bookshop rising from the ashes of The Scarlett Letters. We have a mission to uplift marginalized authors, especially sex workers. You can now support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/peoplesletters

I have to do a task today that requires a 12 minute walk followed by a task that will take 15 minutes maximum and then a 12 minute walk home and I'm already trying to find every excuse in the world not to do it. Hate that for me.

Great interview with @mxjackparker.bsky.social from @tslbooksellers.bsky.social on this week's TF. Well worth a listen for anyone already not doing so.

We went on @trashfuture.bsky.social to talk about why the booksellers at The Scarlett Letters unionised, and our future as The People's Letters! open.spotify.com/episode/5Vm1...

I was fortunate enough to get to listen to this panel and it made me immediately interested even though I'd never heard of the game before - themes I'd love to see in more games with devs who are mindful about their portrayals!

At 4am on July 1st, my boss broke into the bookshop that myself and my co-workers were peacefully occupying while I was asleep downstairs. Our sole demand was that the stock be donated to us so that it could continue serving the sex worker community, as the Scarlett Letters CIC assets legally must.

Ready to dive in ❣️ I love this community

I constantly get e-mails from marketing people claiming they can help boost my website or whatever, generic spam, but it's like... you can tell they 100% do not even look at the site because no, you're not going to get me shitloads of organic traffic to my blog talking about hooking lol

If you're in London on July 9th and want to hear about the ways selling sex can give hookers insight, come along to Hooker Mentality's book launch! Make signs, deface pictures of anti-SW figures and their quotes, pick up a book, and get cheap drinks! www.outsavvy.com/event/27958/...

Ok. Josephine Baker adopted a bunch of children from around the world with the intent to show that they can be raised altogether in harmony. Calling them the “The Rainbow Tribe”, she charged an admission fee so ppl could come view and play with her children. What does that sound like? (1/10)

If you're interested in the history of the modern European sex worker rights movement, I really recommend watching The Prostitutes of Lyon Speak (Original: Les prostituées de Lyon parlent) which is a documentary about over 100 sex workers who occupied St. Nizier church to protest mistreatment.

This is NOT a joke
