Oh look, picket-fence queers from groups like GLAAD are beginning to notice that deliberately ignoring sex workers after they reached the Big Table (and in some cases, actually joining the crusade against us) wasn't such a good idea. And I must add again: stop your fucking partisan bullshit. This wasn't "Trump's crusade" or "the GOP's crusade"; Democrats were equal drivers at every step of the process under the usual banners ("The Children!!!" and " exploitation of women"), so you don't get to smugly point your fingers at other people and pretend you had nothing to do with it. This was done by people you elected, in fascist collaboration with companies you support (and who pay for your multi-million dollar "Pride" parades). You stood by while other sexual minorities were persecuted, and you were fine with it because it wasn't you. Well, now those pigeons are coming home to roost, just as sex workers told you they would. Just as you should've known they would, but were too wrapped up in partisan bullshit to notice. " Operation Choke Point", the government's program telling big businesses that it was not only OK but encouraged to discriminate against sexual minorities, was an Obama program, not a Trump one. And don't try whitewashing your direct involvement in the anti-whore crusades, 'cause Maggie has the receipts. (See all those embedded links? There are plenty more like them.) So sit the fuck down unless you're going to own it and help fix the mess you helped make.
