About the word whorephobia, I personally know Audacia Ray (the original source of the post) and she is a sex worker herself, doing community organizing with sex workers in New York city as well. I believe she reclaimed the word because of her activist w

The context does matter because I was about to go off lol. It's different if she was a sex worker before and I suppose she can use it. The reclamation of that word when used like a weapon against an occupation probably makes sense. I just don't think I could use that to describe the mistreatment of sex workers. The word whore pisses me off in general. Thanks, that does help. *runs off to look up Audacia Ray*

I'm a former sex worker, and have been out of the business a while. The word "whore" is generally cringeworthy to me (especially when used as a weapon against sex workers as it so often is), but I do occasionally use it as part of the word "whorephobia," as in this post title. Probably its too flippant a usage, but it is used frequently by the sex worker rights movement internationally (that said, folks in the international movement also use the word "transgender" as a noun, so that probably isn't the best measuring stick).
