In this episode of YAS Podcast, host AM Davies (AMD) discusses the intricate facets of sex work and identity with guest Jack Parker, a trans sex worker and activist. The conversation delves into Parker's experiences within the sex work community, the transition from pre- to post-transition work, and the unique challenges faced by trans sex workers. They also touch upon the broader socio-political landscape affecting sex work, including recent legislative efforts in the UK and their global implications. Special attention is given to Parker's new book 'Hooker Mentality,' which explores overarching themes of commodification, intimacy, and the reframing of societal norms around sex work. The episode offers an insightful look into the ways sex work redefines concepts of safety, value, and power.
