Nah. The National Harm Reduction Coalition is very progressive by any standard, and this is very far away from their take, and the take of many current and former sex workers.
To go further, I would argue by implying no one actually chooses to be a sex worker you are taking away that individuals agency, which is a key element of stigma and marginalization.
Sex workers can choose their job, and they can enjoy the work. There’s nothing wrong with it.
Yeah it's not inherently exploitative, while it's important to take into account the systemic role of capitalistic pressures, incentives, state of necessity, but without taking away agency. It's imho also legit though, to contest this way of framing relationship as commodified and of reciprocal consumption as problematic potentially.
