Among us are street workers, pro-dommes, escorts, strippers, nude models, porn workers and pretty much anything else you can think of.”<br /><br />“The assumption that sex workers are too dumb to publish a magazine really pisses us off,” Aimee wrote.<br /><br />When asked what was next for “$pread”, Aimee responded “We’re looking for sex workers to paint, mutilate, or otherwise decorate sex toys” for her then-upcoming show’s special exhibit entitled “One Sex Worker Nation Under Dildo.”<br /><br />If your search engine is set to filter out adult content, then you may not know what ‘dildo’ means, nor the world Aimee envisioned.<br /><br />Did the members of your library association where you live attend the Rachel Aimee, NYC Director of DQSH, sponsored event at the March 2018 Public Library Association conference in Philadelphia?<br /><br />And, just as important, even as political districts vet their candidates, does your library district screen for character those who would stand before your children, your grandchildren, the children of your community? <br /><br />Source quotes may be found in an article I wrote from which the excerpt above is taken: https://thesubtimes.com/2019/02/26/letter-drag-queen-story-house-not-what-you-may-think/<br />David Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13545247702433070968noreply@blogger.com
