I’ve started reading We Too and have made it through the introductory material and two essays on stigma. The book is moderately paced, and since it’s a collection of essays, it’s easy to break down and read in manageable chunks. That said, the content makes it hard to put down—it pulls you in with its storytelling and overall tone.

All the authors have done an excellent job of highlight the bifurcation they experience as people trying to exist in the world—the constant negotiation of identities to navigate both personal and societal judgments.

So far it's offers a nuanced insight into the lived realities of sex work that are often overlooked—such as the joys of becoming a mother, or the empowerment of becoming an independent worker. It’s a complex, thoughtful exploration of experiences that challenge narrow stereotypes.
