In the 90s, I was invited to a Halloween party hosted by my boss who also happened to be the frontman for a punk band. Most of his friends were musicians, and that included a few very popular bands at the time.

I showed up to the cool people party. Almost all of them were awful. My boss's roommate was there with his new girlfriend, who happened to be a sex worker. She was the first sex worker I'd ever met, and was super nice and friendly. Almost the entire time, everyone else made snotty, snide remarks about her. She ignored them and hung out with me instead. Maybe she was used to being treated like shit, but in my opinion, she was a far better person than the rest of them. They were a bunch of condescending bullies.

I hope she's doing well, wherever she is these days. I don't give a shit about the rest of them. #stigma #SexWorkers #bullying #bullies
