| Sex work is real work. | |
| Sex work is real work. | |
| That would be horrific. Absolutely horrific if that happened. | |
| Terrifying if that happened. | |
| And it totally makes sense that Tennessee, this wonderful state that I live in, passed a law calling that aggravated prostitution. | |
| Tennessee's law forces convicted sex workers with HIV to register for life as violent sexual offenders. | |
| Why? Because they are violent sexual offenders. | |
| You sleep with someone and you don't tell them that you have HIV and That you are HIV positive and you put them at risk. | |
| There is something wrong with you. | |
| Well, the ACLU just loves to pick up causes like this. | |
| And they just tweeted, Breaking news! | |
| We're suing Tennessee for their aggravated prostitution statute that targets people with HIV with harsh punishment and lifetime sex offender registration. | |
| This law is unconstitutional and disproportionately affects black and transgender women." | |
| So if you're reading that tweet and you're understanding it correctly, what they're trying | |
| to explain to you is actually the oppressors are the victims. | |
| I know that you knew you had HIV and that you slept with this person who didn't know | |
| that you had HIV and you could have given them that HIV, but you're the real victim | |
| in this because who cares if you have HIV? | |
| And also this is going to disproportionately affect black people and trans people, which | |
| is them basically saying that black people are the majority of prostitutes and trans | |
| people are the majority of prostitutes who are carrying HIV. | |
| That's kind of what they're implying in that tweet. | |
| They went on to tweet, The law elevates engaging in sex work from a misdemeanor to a felony based on someone's HIV status, a protected disability. | |
| People who are convicted must register as violent sex offenders for the rest of their lives, restricting their access to housing, employment, and social services. | |
| Oh my gosh, so sad. | |
| Lastly, they tweeted, Okay, so you are an HIV-positive man, and you decide that you are going to transition to a woman | |
| and become a sex worker and you spread your HIV to other people, the ACLU thinks that that | |
| should not be a felony whatsoever. | |
| Instead, it should be seen as a disability. And who cares if we didn't inform people that | |
| you had this disability and you have now completely transformed the rest of their life, potentially | |
| shortened their life, potentially, depending on when they get the help that they need, | |
| could be dead, right, if they don't know that they have HIV. | |
| Totally fine. | |
| The ACLU says that's fine because we now live in a world where we are trying to turn victims into oppressors and oppressors into victims. | |
| And then when horrible things happen, the climbing of HIV rates, we say, I don't know | |
| how this could possibly happen. | |
| I don't know how all of these terrible things are happening in our society when we have | |
| groups like the ACLU who are receiving billions of dollars in funding to pursue these very | |
| obscure and demented causes. | |
| The world is upside down. | |
| That is what is happening. | |
| The world is upside down. | |
| Obviously, I am hopeful that Tennessee will win against this lawsuit. | |
| As I said, it is bizarre that they even picked it up. | |
| It is this weird push to not just justify sex work, but now to justify sex workers who | |
| are behaving like criminals by withholding very important information from the clients | |
| that they see. | |
| What made them get around the boardroom table and say, what's the next cause we're going to take up? | |
| Ah, I've got it. | |
| People with HIV that want to have sex and earn money. | |
| That's what we're going to do. We're going to go out and we're going to fight for them. |
