Today, we’re giving some excellent exposure to Cass Traitor! Cass is a writer, an artist, and a Dominatrix. They are also a freelance feminist journalist who works as an editor for Red Insight (a digital platform for sex workers). Cass also makes live art and short films about mental health, disability, BDSM, sexuality and gender and has been co-devising and performing with the Sex Workers opera (https://sexworkersopera.com/) for 10 years. Meg and Cass talk about the difficulty of breaking into any kind of creative freelance field with no financial support, and how being autistic helped Cass to discover they were an excellent Dominatrix! They also talk about the duality of doing sex work to support their ‘mainstream’ creative work, just how much money Meg spent on her Edinburgh show, and why creative work and other non-traditional forms of labour absolutely need to start being respected as legitimate - and vital - forms of work.

We believe that women have the right to choose what they do with their bodies and how they make their money, and we also believe that how we choose to use our bodies should never, ever alleviate perpetrators of violence from accountability. We believe that all workers deserve basic human rights and protections, and we believe that predators are always responsible for violence, not victims.

Those who harm sex workers offend against all of us.
