Sex work is real work. Everyone of us trade our bodies or our minds for pay.
Correct, @horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world!
Btw, a protip - it's super insecure to make your username be the same as your password!
Yes, but writing computer code is not the same as offering sex. One if a purely intellectual practice, the other is connected to our souls and will damage us inside.
I think it's great that sex workers get benefits, but let's not kid ourselves that sex work is purely a normal job, like selling furniture or making cheese.
As someone who writes computer code for a living, I might match those up differently than you'd expect.

True enough, selling your soul to Google to pay the bills might make.you reasses your life and becone a sex worker.
My snark aside, your assertion is the most ridlcious ludicrous thing I've read this year and theres not much left to the year. Its that weird perspective that makes it different to what ? fisting a cow as a vetenerian or jacking off a horse to collect it's semen ?
You don't think writing code damages your soul? Have you met software developers?
Devs are at the bottom of the list of Cosmo's dateworthy by profession for a very good reason.
I love this thread you created where you're like "hooking is bad for you unlike software developing" and all these devs hop in like, "so is there a certificate program for sex work?"
there are hundreds? thousands? of soul crushing occupations. sex work is real work.
spoken like someone who has never written code as a job
Nah. I write computer code, it's very similar especially when it comes to managing clients.
About time .... all those whores in political office have had the same rights and benefits for decades.
Typo in quoted text, OP...
They will be entitled to official employment contracts, health insurance and suck days.
But seriously, wonderful progressive policy. Some of those people work very hard and word is that their clients can be a real pain in the ass sometimes too.
Huehue
Very good news!
I thought they already had, given the type of work/life/benefits culture we have here. Which makes me wonder: which other jobs don't have any leave or pension plans?
Your leave policies are a mess for people just moving here from other parts of the EU. You can end up with practically no leave for a year.
