Thanks Ava. <br /><br />Many organisations DO have a political intention (fabulous!) and others don't (also providing really useful services) and as was pointed out, it could be accidental too. Not knowing you or the content of your email approach it's impossible to say which but I hope you attend and enjoy.

As a member of x:talk, sex worker myself, and the person checking x:talk emails, I would just feel important to say that these two projects share political ideas that do not aim at representing the totality of sex workers, we do not engage in identity politics either; rather we share a commitment to anti-racism, feminism and workers' rights, which not all sex workers do... bad politics could also lead to us not wanting to collaborate with some sex workers... Sorry if this is not the reason and your emails just ended up in spam or got overlooked by chance, that might have happened.Ava Caradonnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821761188549873440.post-5878701604919908522011-10-11T13:57:41.046-07:002011-10-11T13:57:41.046-07:00hello, thanks for your comment Anon.

I'm really surprised to hear that as I know for certain that many involved are current and former sex workers so I don't feel there's a claim to represent us, more a determination to get our voices heard. I'll pass your comment on to the organisers via facebook/twitter. Perhaps someone will address it here? I hope you're not put off attending...that would be a shame.

Yet friends of mine who have not and have never been involved in the sex industry are very involved.<br /><br />This appears to be typical for something which claims to represent sex workers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
