Check yourself dude. The mere fact that you say "it's doubtable these are in the majority" shows EXACTLY what you think of sex work. Your attitude of "ugh that's so pitiful, no one would do that willingly, they must be forced into it" is fucking offensive.

Millions of people feel stuck in their jobs and "don't feel like they have much choice." Walmart, coffee shops, data entry, whatever. But if it's sex work, all of a sudden it's something to be ashamed of?

Yeah, sure there's trafficking out there, and that is horrible. But don't conflate the two. Don't just assume that someone doing sex work is being trafficked. Just like you don't constantly assume someone doing any other job must also be a trafficked slave or something. Get it?
