Interesting piece out of Omaha - thought some of you might find it of interest.

It must be understood that this paper has been modified for personal reasons upon requests that it be publicly distributed. All names have been changed to acronyms and several pages of potentially incriminating information have been removed. This is not a testimony of my shame or the like, but rather a protection measure against a society that has historically and currently devalued (socially and legally) women’s work. Though untrue for many women in the industry, I hold my title as “sex worker” to be of great pride. Women in the industry should never feel ashamed of themselves or their jobs, as the real culprit and the true tragedy is the fact that these women, like many laborers, are without healthcare, regulation, respect, childcare, etc. This paper and this research was never intended to be a critique of “others,” but rather an account of myself and my identity, of which I am so proud.
