Eliza, dear... is this for me?
Sorry for the slow reply, I was away for a bit. I think there's a huge misunderstanding...
First, let me state my politic beliefs: Yes to Abortion, Yes to Death Penality, No to Affirmative Action, Yes to Euthanasia... so forth and so forth.
The common theme is that, I believe in CHOICE and FAIRNESS.
I did not once state that "I think escorts should behavoir like... blah blah" without the qualifier: IF and only IF she wish to act as a professional.
By willingly taking on the title of a "professional" you gave up your personal "wants" and "wishes". Because by definition, that's non-essential to a professional. "I want", "I like" and "I wish" are words you wouldn't hear very often out of the mouths of gladiators, soldiers... etc. Personal vs Professional.
The way you phrased your question, I would actually say "I don't believe in anything without pre-defined limits". What is an escort? What is the definition of an escort?
If the question is "DO YOU believe I (Elizabeth) should have the right to choose my (Elizabeth's) clients?" My answer would be a resounding yes. You have the right to do as you please. HOWEVER, you would not get my vote as a "stoic, professional" escort... Because they (the pros) "fuck for money, PURE and SIMPLE".
The examples I gave about Doctors and Lawyers and other pros meant one thing: Professionals are usually CONTROLLED and LIMITED in a way. Doctor CANNOT refuse patient based on their race. (Like Kepler said, he may do so if his reasons are non-discriminatory). Of course there are acceptable reasons: Your mother is sick and in the hospital (thus you can't work); You are physically incapable (you're hurting somewhere); You are too tired and you do not wish to take anyone else. Just ask yourself this: If a doctor did what I did, would he get his license revoked?
To Kepler, it's true that the Code means nothing in a court of law. However, there are professional boards that review doctors and lawyers. Doctors can lose their license for racial discrimination. They will not be arrested. The reasoning is simple. PROFESSIONAL doctors must follow the code, once you lose your license, you're NOTHING (to the medical world). You are free to do as you please. Piss on a homeless guy, say the N-word, dance around naked... who cares?
Additional point: Patient Doctor confidenciality comes into play EVEN in a court of law. If the information is essential, there would have to be a SUPEONA (because a judge believe that the information is more important that the PDC).
My personal opinion not withstanding, I would still agree that Escorts can choose who they see (I am weird like that, I have an opinion and then I have logical deductions). I would LIKE escorts to be professional, however, BEING professional itself is a choice. Thus, they can do as they please. It would be illogical of me to impose high professionalism on everyone.
EDIT: In case people are wondering where did this come from... There was a discussion on Escort 411 about pretty much the same topic, but it got sidetracked. So here we are...
