My editorial on sex work decriminalization
My second piece in THIS magazine, an editorial on sex work decriminalization in Canada, is now online. It's derived from my earlier feature article on decriminalization in the Tyee.

While I'm glad to have another publication credit, I feel a bit of... not guilt, exactly, but discomfort. One of the points I make is that the discourse on sex work should have more actual sex workers in it, which probably would mean fewer contributions from people who aren't sex workers and have no personal stake in the issue (e.g. me). I write about how great Scarlot Harlot was, when perhaps they could have gotten an article from Scarlot herself.

I also wish I knew about THIS magazine's special topic in advance, as I think I could have done a good feature on that topic, given all the research I've done on the history of pornography.

Hhhmmm...

First, CONGRATS

Second, maybe as you get more things published with them you can ask the editor/publisher to let you know about their topics when they let other writers know?
