It's So Hard

We go from tramp stamp to full rant real quick in ep 78 of It's So Hard, a podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

We're joined by Wiradjuri woman and FSSW Easygreens as we chat about NAIDOC week, advocacy and the disgraceful treatment of incarcerated First Nations kids. We also talk allyship (or lack thereof!), intersectionality and why Easygreens' toes have never recovered from her stripper days!

We're unbelievably honoured to be joined by Kaytlin Bailey of New York-based sex work nonprofit Old Pros for ep 77 of It's So Hard.

Kaytlin is the founder and executive director of Old Pros, and a fellow pod host of the educative and entertaining af podcast, The Oldest Profession. We caught up with Kaytlin about a week after the Roe v. Wade decision so there was quite a bit to talk about!

We chat about the interconnectedness of the criminalisation of abortion and sex work, the way that a sex work identity automatically places you in an activism role and the importance of challenging and reconfiguring historic narratives that have erased sex workers.

Jenn and Tess got onto Zoom yesterday afternoon to have an convo that many, many people with uteruses are having across the world this weekend. Forgive the muffled recording, this wasn't a planned record.

We thought we'd share our initial reflections on the revocation of rights, why a legislative decision in the US has a monumental impact on all of us and why we NEED cis men to be just as responsive and proactive about this issue as everyone else!!!

We may be 2 days late but we make up for it by bringing back a listener fave for ep 75 of It's So Hard, a podcast about life in and around the sex industry.
