The right of the "workers" are there moral limits?

As a long time DU'er... I just need to ask why the moral police (even on the left) judge/outcast/purge "sex workers" rights over other "workers" rights?

There are MORE rights given to a drug abuser/addict/convict in the US than a Sex Worker. Is this right?

I am of the opinion that sex isn't work. It tends to become "work" in times of great inequality. HiPointDem Apr 2012 #2

"judge/outcast/purge" people involved in sex industries at all as long as it is consenting adults.

What exactly are you upset about?
