NEW YORK — Yahoo News Unfiltered staffers Brian Prowse-Gany and Joyzel Acevedo recently video-interviewed cam performer and sex worker advocate Ginger Banks. In the segment titled "Society Treats Sex Workers as Second-Class Citizens," Banks spoke to the duo about FOSTA/SESTA, sex worker rights, and her life as a cam performer in a sex-negative world.
“When I read comments on articles about sexual assault happening to sex workers, it breaks my heart," said Banks during the interview. "Because a lot of the people say, ‘Well, she’s a sex worker. She gets f***ed for money. Why can’t I grab her right now?’"
“Which makes no sense," she observed. "If you are going to run into a UFC fighter on the street, you’re not going to punch him in the face and say, ‘That’s your job,’ right?”
