So if you are "gender critical", does that mean you support feminine men and persons with gender dysphoria, or is this just an excuse for misandry and transphobia?

It's not about law and law breaking. It's more about safety. I am not saying that everything should be legal, because people break law... what?

But yes, trafficking will still be a problem.

It will be even worse if you allow those dastardly Balkanites free reign! As well as the Kurds!

It's difficult topic, because if prostitution is illegal, then it does not mean that people don't do it. If it would be legal, but highly regulated, it's not gonna end illegal prostitution, but it could minimize it.

It's like banning drugs is not gonna save you from drug addicts from dying.

that statement is just not supported by fact. it's already been posted in this thread that among western nations with adequate social services for sex workers, with regulatory measures in place, legalizing, or even just decriminalizing sex work increases sex trafficking. read this article for more information. here's the article it cites. saying that something is always going to happen regardless of its legality is a terrible argument. by that metric no action should be illegal because the laws against that action can always be violated. the point of keeping sex work illegal to ensure that people responsible for coerced or forced sex work can always be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law, because they're taking away an individual's agency to their own body.

So why are you claiming that "it'll happen anyways" is a valid argument for legalization?

If you pro-legalization of Drugs and Escorting then you should be intrinsically so, because you believe in it for proper reasons and beliefs and not because people "do it anyways".

And yes it's an extremly unpopular opinion in this place.

But stand for something.

The most dangerous drug I ever took is the one that's legal and consumed by 90% of the population and that's honestly true. Cocaine is not that bad for you. That doesn't mean you should be able to buy it in the supermarket

I did not say that TRAFFICKING would be decreased. My point was that it would be more safe for people who work in industry voluntarily (as sex workers). As there would be regulations. I do understand trafficking problems, that's why I said also that it's difficult topic, not that "we should all legalize it".

But I re-read by post, and yes, I understand where the misunderstanding came. My mistake, with phrasing, as I did not count trafficking from other countries first.
