This is part 3 of a 3 part interview with sex worker and advocate Jinx Lierre about representation of sex workers on The Deuce. In this episode we discuss why watching the show was a tough decision for Jinx, the unrecognized benefits that sex workers bring to society, and the power of the language we use to talk about sex workers. For more information, check out the links in previous show notes, or any of these organizations that support sex workers:
