“ Feminism fails me at the point where it denies my agency… Regardless of my position as a sex worker, I am always going to be seen as a sexual object. And not just by my clients. A feminism that denies my humanity and my agency is objectifying me by ignoring or silencing my voice and my demands—casting me as simply a sex object to be punished, banished or saved. „

this is not just another love poem
this is my goddamn revolution
i am done holding my tongue like a bible
there is too much war in every verse of our silence
we have all dug too many trenches away from ourselves

lover,
i am not looking for roses
i wanna break like a fever

“ You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts. You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth. „

“ Nudity and being sexual are not intrinsically linked. One can be fully clothed and completely sexual or completely naked and in no way sexual. „

“ The erotic is something we’ve been forbidden for so long we can only define what it means by crawling out from the oppression that we’ve had surrounding our sexuality. It’s really important that we recover that power, and I sometimes think that it is only the bravest women who will fight hard enough to recover that. „

Nikki, Stripping in Time.
