The tech at the abortion clinic who said, "you're 10 weeks, we're gonna say 8.5, okay?" literally SAVED MY LIFE

The older lady who saw me working the theater district and without a word slipped me a 20, SAVED MY LIFE

The nurse at the ER who refused to buy my bullshit story when I walked in and said I needed STD prophylaxis- she SAVED MY LIFE

The other victims I met while being trafficked, the older girl who told me, "shut the fuck up, don't posture like that," she SAVED MY LIFE

Even the young guy who was in with the traffickers, who got in over his head and snuck us oreos and cheez-its- he SAVED LIVES

The other survivors I've met in the aftermath who have listened and shared their wisdom- they've SAVED LIVES

You know who's never come close to saving my life? The cops. The court system. The Feds. Wider society as a whole, even. I've never been helped or cared for by these systems. I've been helped and cared for by PEOPLE. By regular human people who were all just doing their best.

More than it's ever haunted me that these awful systems and evil people exist, it haunts me that I'll never be able to thank any of those good people who've saved me. It haunts me that they'll never know how much of an impact they've made. The way I repay them is to try to bring that same energy into the world- and maybe do the same for others without even knowing it.

I think we're naive to look to something massive and uncaring to save us, when we've always been quietly and dutifully saving each other.

as a trans man who is also a survivor of sex trafficking, peoples' reactions to that latest Epstein thing is so fucking sickening.

yes. it was disgusting on both sides of the spectrum. fetishizing trans women while being disgusted with trans men is horrible and disgusting for both sides.

but saying that trans men don't have it as bad because it wasn't fetishization just isn't true. i'm going to be a bit explicit here about my own experiences, so please keep that in mind if you continue to read

being a trans man did not save me while being sex trafficked. being a trans man WAS used as a commodity and was commercialized like any other part of me. why? because that's what sex trafficking does. just because those emails were some sex traffickers who thought trans men were too disgusting to be trafficked or raped doesn't mean that's the fucking truth in the industry.

and i'll be honest with you. my experience as a trans man is part of my sex trafficking experience. being a child who was able to perform in androgyny enough to satisfy anyone's sexuality wasn't a fucking privilege. and you're absolutely sick if you think that.

being trans while in an active trafficking situation is so, SO confusing and absolutely horrible in a way that i don't think you can fully comprehend without experiencing it. my identity wasn't my own. i was a male survivor as much as i was a female survivor. i was used as a boy as much as i was a girl.

so don't you DARE act like trans men are somehow less affected or less fetishized. don't use those documents to form your opinions on the intersection of being trans while being sex trafficked.

please pray for the women and children around the world that are trafficked and depicted in exploitative material

slave whumpee has made a drastic mistake. they're newly bought and owner doesn't pay them much attention. there are rarely any instructions apart from the usual and they're given three meals every day, like a gift for something they didn't do.

and now whumpee has made a huge, huge mistake. it warrants weeks— maybe months, if owner decides to prolong their misery— of unending pain. they'll be beaten, humiliated, starved within an inch of their worthless life.

they look at the soft carpet their knees rest upon, and wonder if they'll be lucky enough to remember their name by the time death comes.

84.3% of indigenous women experience violence

56.1% of indigenous women experience sexual violence

40% of sex trafficking victims are AI/AK native women

i am a survivor. many of my sisters, cousins, and aunts are too. many of them are lost forever, many are still missing. i mourn them every day but especially today.

check in on the indigenous women, girls, and two-spirits in your life. advocate and fight for their safety. today, wear red and show up for them, for us.

fellow survivors i love you and i’m here for you. we aren’t going anywhere

Poolverine Sugardaddy au except its just Wade paying Logan to hang out with him thinking he's too ugly to ever truely be wanted by someone as beautiful as Logan, and Logan wanting to fuck him so bad it's unreal because he's been seen as nothing but an exotic pet since youth but Wade treats him like a real person.

Some of the other trafficked mutants Logan made friends with tell him how lucky he is to have "a nice daddy"

Whens the last time you hired a prostitution service just to sit on the couch with popcorn and watch the new my little pony movie?

Whens the last time you hired said prostitute to run errands with you because youre lonely and want to talk to someone while walking around the city?

Whens the last time you denied a prostitute from giving you bathroom stall head because you value them to much to see them kneel on a nasty floor?

Wade knows. He knows all too well.

Wade buys Logan, signs the paperwork over to Logan, giving him his own life back, expecting nothing in return.

Wade also kills logans pimp and invites him to kill the entire trafficking operation because fuck those guys

whenever someone makes a diddy joke or mentions epstein to win an argument around a sex trafficking victim they should be allowed to kill them

I think it’s a great mischaracterisation of Snow to portray him as raping the Victors he sex trafficked (or any other way the Victors might be mistreated or anyone else the Capitol trafficked, because it probably not just the relatively small population of sexually exploited Victors). This is the very same man who never participated in bullying Sejanus solely because he considered the active bullying beneath him. This isn’t to say that Snow would have moral objections to the Victor trafficking (be it sexual or otherwise), after all, he considers District people subhuman, but he’s too calculating to indulge in such a carnal activity.
