How sex work turned millennial pink:
Caitlin is a stripper in her early 20s, though online fans probably know her best as the Melbourne-based artist behind the popular Instagram account @exotic.cancer. There, Caitlin posts irreverent illustrations of the often unglamorous and occasionally mundane reality of sex work, including uncomfortable conversations and awkward encounters inspired by her own experience on the job.
For author, performer, and sex work advocate Andrea Werhun, this is a good thing."I'm happy when people can say out loud that sex workers are human beings who deserve equal rights, love, and freedom, which is extremely basic," she said. Caitlin, who wishes to keep her last name private to protect her anonymity at work, agrees that increased media attention and visibility can be a powerful force against sex work stigma.
Like "lesbian chic" in the '90s, some non-sex working millennial women are adopting sex work as an edgy aesthetic, because being a sex worker—or rather, looking like one—is cool."I can definitely see the trend," Caitlin said.
For some sex workers, this sudden wave of mainstream support is complicated."If y'all love sex workers so much, how come I never see you in the club?" @local_._honey captioned a photo on Instagram. Caitlin wonders if some non-sex-working allies might be latching on to the movement to prove their"wokeness" or secure their public image as next-level feminists."Why are they only [supporting us] now?" Caitlin wonders.
