Wow thanks so much for all of your kind replies. @Ogre Tones I have a few books but didn't know about that one, actually. I'll check it out. Thanks! Just to clarify, I did adopt a senior dog during Covid (oct 2020). She's 10lbs and she's adorable even with all the sass.. and small dog...

I feel a bit silly writing about this but I'm doing it anyway. I realize not many people will understand how this can be important or a big deal. But I think some will. My soul dog died on August 12, 2019.* She was more special than can ever be expressed and I know I will never get over the...

I really don't find the use of a comparison between residential schools and DPJ foster homes to be appropriate. Unless someone is saying that thousands of children kidnapped from their families and sent to cruel places so they can be abused and neglected in the name of destroying their...

He's not saying providers are refusing to see him, he's saying agencies are not willing to even try to accommodate. Sure but there's zero reason for an agency to be discriminatory. And if we want to be seen as legitimate and serious industry, then yeah, there are some societal values such as...

That's pretty messed up if that's true and it's the real reason.

I think you're all missing the point and I don't think it should be about individual business. I think it's more about being an inclusive society, which includes businesses. Marketing plans or brands shouldn't have anything to do with it. it's not a buzzword, it should be part of our core...

True. But as I've mentioned I've had other types of bad experiences in similar short-term rentals. I've had some bad experiences at hotels but the proportion is way lower and in general you can at least expect proper customer service. Forget about it with Airbnb.

I wish more people joined wealthsimple cash. It's pretty much the only true option as PayPal is notorious for closing the accounts of Sex workers. I don't use it anymore. There is the risk of chargebacks which happened to me. I was lucky I won but I'm not messing with PayPal again. Many...

Doctors, like everyone else, have all kinds of biases, whether they explicitly tell you or even recognize it in themselves (implicit bias). It's already known that patients with obesity experience discrimination and that a significant percentage of health professionals. Doctors have been shown...

True. But don't they offer online screening now?

Before Airbnb became so popular, there were other sites (that still exist) offering the same kind of service. I used a couple with varying results (one in calgary was great, another stole my damage deposit. One in Montréal was FULL of cockroaches from the business below and not only did I never...

You guys are hilarious. I learned something new today. I had no idea there was such a think as DV, no idea it was possible, no chance I'd ever want to try that. But I will say that I have done MMF once a long time ago. I was living in Vancouver but it happened here, with a Merb member I'd met...

The photo collectors.

There is a reason I don't show my face online. Why would I do a video call and risk having it shared or video/photos of my face end up online associated with 'Anna Bijou'? It makes no sense to ask. So many people ask for a selfie of my face and I don't get it. If I wanted my face out there, I'd...

There are several Montreal SP's with natural body hair. I've had requests for this on myself but hair takes a while to grow lol so I've given referrals for providers that do not have shaved or trimmed genitals. Clients have asked me not to shave my legs, or anything before an appointment many...

I think that if you don't feel comfortable telling your doctor that you have multiple partners, you should consider going to a clinic specialized in STI screening. Because there are some infections your family doctor, especially if not aware you have multiple partners, will simply not screen...

Sure it would be great if it was official but in practice we pretty much do that already in Canada. US swers answering clients questions about specific services know it could be used as evidence. Clients usually know it too. So it's not usually discussed. Clients here, even if they are doing...

Are you referring to a legalized system or a decriminalized one? Your use of 'legislation' makes it unclear? Sex workers want full decriminalization, not legalization, which creates a lot of significant issues that don't make it safer for a lot of Sex workers...

I wasn't offended babe xo I learned something new today, too. I knew of stealthing but had never heard of reproductive coercion.

Interesting. Now if they could decriminalize prostitution and apply the same argument to payment (consent conditional on payment). Wouldn't that be interesting! If it applies to one type of condition, should apply to any reasonable condition that's been communicated and agreed upon by both...
