Should I avoid TER, since some of the user submitted reviews could describe acts of violence against women?

I was also curious as to why you mentioned racial discrimination against men. That didn't seem necessary IMO.

Recognize that violence against Sex Workers is real, and if we know about we should report it.  This includes both physical and non-physical.  Support a safe work environment for all.

Most people wouldn't know the ladies name, or much about her.

I'm just wodering how someone could help, or if that help would be wanted

I have a daughter in LE.  She tells me most violence against providers is committed by their SO, not their client.

But there are exceptions!   Take care, ladies.

I've read research that shows most violence sex workers experience is from LAW ENFORCEMENT, not clients, not significant others, but..... cops.  

Another reason to advocate for decriminalization.
