Listening truly to exited prostituted women is hard.

To not listen gives more peace.

To close your ears is to feel safe – but not listening is a deep betrayal.

Our voices have been ignored for the vast majority of human history.

It may be the oldest silencing that humans have invented.

Yet you listen all that time to others speaking to our lives, to our deaths.

You listen to the lies and propaganda of those who profiteer from our suffering.

You listen to many excuses and lies of those who consume us.

You listen to the media that whitewashes our lives.

You listen to the authorities who gain as we are tortured and thrown away.

You listen to everyone but the prostituted class.

Our voices are dismissed, marginalised and spoken over.

This silencing is making our genocide.

You refuse to hear our screaming from centuries of torture, of being made subhuman and being thrown away.

You dismiss our multiple voices of resistance.

You say it unspeakable what we may suffer – but when we speak out you ignore our words.

Even many of our allies don’t or won’t listen – but speak over, speak for or just ignore us.

Many allies keep us subhuman tokens that are brought out for small moments, then tossed aside.

This is shown in many events.

When we speak at conferences, it is rare we are paid even when fellow speakers are well paid.

When we speak in panels, we are always a token, never more one or two exited women at any event.

Always we surrounded by experts who speak to our lives – ignoring that exited women are the experts and our knowledge is not just personal – it is political, it is radical, it is spiritual and it is made by experts.

If you constantly silence the voices of exited women, there will never be a true abolition of the sex trade, just atalking shop and a tinkering at the edges.

We are the true leaders of the Abolitionist movement.

We know what makes the sex trade so relentless in its destruction of the prostituted – and in its hatred of women.

We can expose the conditions of the sex trade, we have no time or energy for the propaganda of sex work lobby speaking of the Happy Whore myth.

We can connect – connect CSE to the sex trade, connect stripping to prostitution, connect poverty to the manipulation of the sex trade, connect objectify all females to the sex trade propaganda, connect child rape to creating a prostituted class, connect political torturing to the conditions of the prostituted and endless other connections.

We know that prostitution never had a golden age – there was always extreme torturing, there was always mass disappearances of the prostituted, it was always mass rapes – and there can never be a future that can be safe or have dignity for the prostituted.

That is why exited women speak for abolition not reform.

We are radical in that belief – so listen to our voices.

Let’s see punters in the clear eye of an eagle.

Punters are no heroes, they are never noble, never unselfish, never able to see beyond their own greed and hate.

To be an Abolitionist, a major step is to see these bastards as they are not as they want to be seen.

First and foremost all punters are sadists and rapists – there is no such thing as the good punter.

But most punters are liars – to others as well as lying to themselves.

One of their major lies is the illusion that they don’t want to harm the prostituted.

This is pure bullshit, for every man who make the choice to consume the prostituted knows deep in his heart, he is making the prostituted into subhuman sexual goods for his porn dreams.

No man accidentally consumes the prostituted, no man accidentally forces his sexual acts into the prostituted, no man accidentally makes the prostituted lose all her human rights and dignity.

To be a punter is a conscious choice.

The choice to make another human into your sexual slave.

The choice to pour any and all porn fantasies into a living person with no consequences.

The choice to torture, rape, murder and throw the prostituted all for your orgasm.

Let’s stop pretending that punters can ever be seen as victims, or sad loners.

All men can make the choice never to be punters, to grow up and view women as equal and worthy of basic human rights.

That would a good start.

To be prostituted is constantly to be broken down and broken in.

To be prostituted is lose humanity and be made sexual goods.

This breaking of the soul is essence of who and what the sex trade is.

This breaking of all the prostituted is why I am an radical exited prostituted woman.

I want abolition of all the sex trade and their allies, I cannot compromise knowing my prostituted are being broken minute by minute.

I was introduced into the world of the sex trade by a continual line of punters raping me for six hours.

I was 14.

This was one punter after another.

This was gang-raping as others watch, and were even filming.

This was every hole in body conquer, left bleeding out and leaving a silence in the room.

This was a beginning of a trauma that now shadow me still.

That was my introduction, and for millions of the prostituted everywhere that is a tiny example of how the sex trade produces sexual goods.

For to be the ideal prostitute, it is vital to have no safety, have no rights, and no access to support or help.

To break down the prostitute is to make her isolated, and that she forgets she is human enough for anyone to care if she lives or dies.

All that matters to the sex trade, is that the prostitute is consumed by endless punters with sadist fantasies – hell, that where the real profit is.

That is the reality of prostitution, not the pipe dream that the sex work lobby feed you.
